A big thank you to everyone who came out for the opening of my show A Gathering of Crones at Catapult Gallery in Cape Girardeau, and those who have ventured down there since then. Here are a few shots of the work... There is only one week left to drop by!

I'm excited to announce that A Gathering of Crones, an exhibit of my new paintings and sculptures, is opening this at the Catapult Gallery in Cape Girardeau.

Catapult Creative House is a major creative hub on the SEMO Southeast River Campus, which is dedicated to art, dance, music and theatre. If you are nearby, First Fridays on the river in Cape presents an exciting array of art experiences at the 6 campus galleries, in addition to everything else Cape has to offer. I'd love to see you there!

February 6 - 27, 2026
Opening reception: February 6, 5-7 p.m.

A Gathering of Crones, an exhibition of sculptures by Deanne Row, will be on view Friday, February 6, through Friday, February 27, 2026, in the main gallery at Catapult Creative House.

Deanne Row, born in St. Louis, MO, in 1972, is known for scavenging paper and found objects to create figurative sculptures. Her work has shown in the Field House Museum, St. Louis, MO, the 2023 Shanghai International Paper Art Biennale, the Fengxian Museum, China, and the Museum of Encaustic Art, Santa Fe, NM. Her first solo exhibit was in 2020 at The St. Louis Artist’s Guild, followed by a two-person show in 2022 at Quad Cities International Airport, Moline, IL, and a solo show at Washington University School of Medicine in 2024. She works from her studio in St. Charles, MO.

According to Row, “While creating A Gathering of Crones, what started as an examination of the ubiquitous Rocking Chair in American culture became a journey of family stories, downsizing, goodbyes, and wistful memories. Some chairs were indeed still being used for soothing children, relaxing, and visiting, but I found that the Rocking Chair was often a poignant symbol, rather than being used for a practical purpose. Some chairs I couldn’t bring myself to alter once acquired, and some chairs were so worn and lovingly repaired that I felt they needed to be preserved in all of their brokenness as pieces of art - rather than be discarded.”

What objects do we cherish the idea of, but don't always want to hold on to?

The origin of my current project was a musing on how sitting together strengthens family and community bonds. But during the process of collecting chairs over a couple of years, I frequently heard explanations of why someone was getting rid of a rocking chair: they no longer have room for it, their child has grown, their children didn't want the old-fashioned furniture... They offered these up as though they expected to be judged.

Did the real explanations go unsaid? "I think it's ugly." "I didn't have a good relationship with..." "The idea that it represented to me no longer brings me happiness."

Ooh, this looks interesting!

St. Louis-based artist Lea de Matta's exhibition Waspaganda brings the small lives of insects into the foreground of human experience. By highlighting diversity and physiology, her exhibition portrays insects as ecosystem caretakers, genius architects, and recyclers of life.

Waspaganda opens January 2nd, 5-8pm, in the East Gallery, as part of the Foundry's First Friday programming. Art activities, music, the Foundry bar, and more will be available throughout the evening.

Exhibition open through March 28th.

I've been sculpting onto this chair for a while, with it turned upside down and around while the paper dries. I knew it had been altered by someone to hold a flower pot (She told me she quit the diy project before finishing)

But I was just shocked to realize that almost EVERY part of this rocking chair has been taken apart, replaced, moved, repurposed. I had noticed that some of the parts didn't quite match and some joins were sloppy, but this is crazy! How had I not looked underneath it before now? I'm so curious to know the story of this chair.

By the way, this will be part of an art installation that will open in February. (Details to follow) It is serendipitous that I would be the one to acquire this chair from Marketplace, as my sculptural show is all about the stories and meanings of rocking chairs

😄😜 so true! (But we're artists, we can't help it, right?)

The Miserere Review - An Arts & Literary Magazine is back! We oldtimers might remember it from the dawn of the internet age...

The Miserere Review was a 90’s international online platform created to showcase artists and writers internationally and give them a larger audience. The original Miserere Review website received well over a million visitors. However, the original web host no longer exists, so it has now been relaunched as a new publication in an online flip-book format.

Kat Isacson (of the J+K Isacson team) is a visual artist and writer who has curated 100s of art exhibitions in partnership with various nonprofits, galleries, and museums. Her writing has been published both nationally and internationally in print and online. She is also the founder and editor of the original (and new) Miserere Review.

Past creative partnerships include Northwest Area Arts Council, Lakeside Arts Park Foundation/Dole Mansion Gallery, Womanmade Gallery, Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts, Black Point Estate Museum, JLB Dance, Willow Crystal Lake, Biafarin Artist Management, Old Courthouse Arts Center, Dan Addington Gallery, Reprographics Art & Imaging, Art Next Level/33 Contemporary Gallery, Imagery Converter Ensemble, The Nolan Gallery, Starline Gallery, Ballet 5:8, Freeport Art Museum.

Check out this summer's Fantasy and Fiction themed issue here https://www.miserere-review.com I received a nod in the visual art contest, but it is chock full of amazing art, fiction and poetry.
