<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Unbound Visual Arts is presenting an exciting exhibition featuring the artwork of Joan Mullen. It's a mixed media exhibition of sculptural elements created with plaster, oil and wax. The artist “begins with a feeling, gesture or impulse that she strives to translate into sculptural form.” To Joan, the individual “sculptures allude to an organic and human maturation that convey both the strength and vulnerability of the human condition.” Joan Mullen has created a unified installation of colorful objects that fill the gallery and create a sense of intrigue and mystery. <u><b>The opening reception is Sat. March 30th from 11 am - 1 pm at the Faneuil Library Art Gallery, 419 Faneuil St., Brighton. The exhibit closes on May 11, 2013.</b></u></span></span></span></h4>

Unbound Visual Arts started a new tradition with a Mardi Gras Party at the Castlebar Backroom in Brighton's Oak Square. Lots of decorations, good mardi gras food, music and a few costumes. Unbound introduced many guests to what it has been up to for its first 4 months with exhibits and other activities. There were two slideshows that had lots of images of past exhibits as well as artworks from Unbound's member artists. At the present time, there are 10 founding members, 10 regular members, 75 fans on Facebook, 105 followers on Twitter and 70 op-in email followers. To date, Unbound has mounted 6 solo exhibits and one group exhibit.

The Common Art opening reception for the exhibition that features 17 artists and nearly 50 original artworks at the Athan's Cafe' Art Gallery in Brighton was huge success. At least 75-100 people were on hand to see the art, meet and gree the artists, and taste the treats prepared by Athan's. A quote from Heidi Lee, the Artist in Residence for Common Art, says it all: "I heard so many comments from the artists about how it felt so good to be treated with respect and feel "normal" for a night.. " Unbound Visual Arts and Athan's were very pleased to be part of this exhibition. Additionally, at least 4 artworks sold at the reception, with 100% of the funds going to the artists. The exhibition will remain up through Easter Sunday on March 31.

<span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The exhibition
includes original oil paintings on the theme of dramatic and glorious skies
that the artist has captured in painting changing cloud formations above ocean
beaches and landscapes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nadia uses
her paintbrush to illuminate and contrast majestic skies throughout the day and
night and creates brilliant colors as well as threatening darker storm scenes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In total, the exhibition presents a
group of paintings that are recognizable natural scenes to everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But her use of different oil
textures, colors and brush strokes, as well as the natural skyscapes themselves,
help present a sense of abstraction. She starts with a photograph “to capture
the moment and not be overpowered by the image” before her thus “trapped by
trying to depict it realistically.” All the paintings are steeped in drama and
mystery and serve to reveal and elicit many emotions and feelings from the
exhibition viewer, just as Nadia had intended. </span></div>

The Sarah Berry: "Telephone Relics' exhibit had a big opening reception on Sat. Nov. 3rd at the Faneuil Library Art Gallery. It is the fifth exhibit at this location presented by Unbound Visual Arts. At least 50 people came to the opening to enjoy the fine art photographs and a brunch reception (generously provided by the Faneuil Library). The artist Sarah Berry was on hand to talk about the 18 photographs and the theme of "phoneless" telephone booths from all over the world. There was strong agreement that the exhibit told a convincing story about how telephone usage as changed and left these remaining "artifacts" that most of us walk right past on a daily basis. The exhibit runs through Nov. 30 and has been recommended by both the <i>Boston Globe </i>and <i>Boston.com/Allston-Brighton</i>. <br />

documenting the vanishing public telephone and the relics left behind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah very poignantly
captures the changing history of telecom, convenience, functionally and design that
has resulted in streetscape artifacts that linger as if they still had a
purpose. As a result of the evolution from wired and wall-mounted phones to
personal and pocket-sized, most people realize that public telephones, once
prominent throughout the world, have significantly declined in usage. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah Berry has not only noticed this 21<sup>st</sup>
century historical trend but has presented visual artistic evidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah first became enchanted by a
single phoneless booth at an underground station while waiting for the Chicago
L train in 2008 and since that time has been documenting the continual growth of
phoneless booths that go unnoticed by most people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

age of eight when she was living in Ecuador and has continued that artistic
expression ever since as she has traveled the world. To her, photography
continues to allow her to savor her sense of humor and deep commitment to the
arts and the environment. </span></div>
