Leslie Nolan’s “Which Is The Way”
Check out this cool video of my solo exhibit, “Mixed Messages” at The Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick, MD. Great venue, great staff, great volunteers. I am so honored to have been selected for a solo exhibit at this fabulous institution dedicated to the arts. The exhibit features ten paintings — all big heads.
Videographer George L. Miller collaborated with me on this film and I want to thank him for all his suggestions and for his keen professionalism.

Some photos of the Mixed Messages opening reception at The Delaplaine in Frederick, MD this weekend. This gorgeous large former mill space with huge wood support posts and exposed brick really sets off the ten paintings in the exhibit. On exhibit through September 27.
Thanks to volunteers Joyce and Ashley and Delaplaine Exhibits Manager Diane Sibbison for their first-rate support.
Installing “Mixed Messages” – Opening Sept 5
Leslie Nolan’s “Mixed Messages” at Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center
Installed this solo exhibit, Mixed Messages, yesterday and today at The Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick, MD. My sincere thanks to the considerable patient and willing assistance of three key people: Delaplaine Exhibitions Manager Diane Sibisson, comedian and sculptor Virginia Warwick, and my wonderful husband.
Mixed Messages features figure paintings that hint at emotions which remain largely hidden in real life. The intent of this grouping of bold images of faces and heads is to draw the viewer in to examine feelings behind the facade.

Spent today putting hooks and wires on artwork for Mixed Messages. Wrapping paintings for protection during the transit from studio to The Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick, MD. Installation takes place in two days, and the opening reception September 5th, 3-5 pm. A brief glimpse of some of the new artwork for the exhibit.
New for Upcoming Solo Shows
Working on some new pieces for upcoming solo exhibits in September at Susan Calloway Fine Arts in Washington, DC’s Georgetown and at Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick, MD. While still pondering on an appropriately ambiguous title for the Calloway exhibit, the title for Delaplaine is “Mixed Messages.” I think it apt, because we send out the message we want people to receive, yet our body language or tone can communicate a completely different message. The recipient must draw his or her own interpretation of those sometimes “mixed messages.”
In the final analysis, aren’t we all a little confused from time to time?
