A Brooklyn Heights wine and spirits shop and a Cobble Hill art gallery are rallying the community behind a local artist who needs expensive treatment for leukemia.
Heights Chateau wine and spirits shop and the Muriel Guépin Gallery are throwing a benefit for teacher and artist Jaclyn Talley and her husband Jason Talley, who is fighting AML (acute myeloid leukemia), a rare form of the disease.
A full time painter, Jason Talley works part time in the studio of New York artist Yigal Ozeri. At night and on weekends he works in his own studio alongside his wife. Talley has started chemotherapy, and his treatment will last months, according to the gallery. He will eventually need a bone marrow transplant, but the couple has no health insurance and lacks funds.
The event – “To Be Considered” — will take place at the gallery at 47 Bergen Street, October 25-27th. The gallery has asked local artists to donate works for this benefit and each piece will be starting at auction as low as a third of the normal retail price.
Brooklyn artist Sarah Nicole Phillips has donated her piece “Security Forest Floor” – a striking collage made with discarded security envelopes.
“I don’t know the artist personally, but I believe in this cause,” she told the Brooklyn Eagle on Monday. Phillips said she also believed in “the greater cause of reforming the U.S. medical system. I believe the family is a victim of that system and I want to help out any way I can.”
The wine tasting (which includes cheese and charcuterie) will be held on Thursday, Oct. 25, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the gallery at 47 Bergen Street. It costs $50 and all the proceeds will go to Jaclyn and Jason. Bidding will start at the wine tasting and will close at the end of the Silent Auction, which is on Friday, October 26th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

MONOTYPE @ The Lower East Side Printshop
with Sarah Nicole Phillips
6 weeks, Mondays 6-9 pm
September 26 – October 21
Fee: $395
Register for the class here (you will be leaving this site)
This comprehensive workshop will introduce you to one of the most liberating forms of printmaking, with an emphasis on experimentation and creativity. Learn to create innovative one-of-a-kind prints using drawing, painting and collage. Explore color mixing, brushwork, ghost images, chine colle, stencils and unique tools to create unique prints. We will pull highly developed monotypes by hand and with the aid of a press.
*This class uses only Akua Water-based non-toxic inks.
I'm currently teaching a Monotype class at the Lower East Side Printshop (in Midtown). Once again a wonderful group of enthusiastic artists is taking the course. Below are images from last week's class.
Tazeene is creating a suite of prints using two stencils of the Manhattan grid.
She's created many effects by printing the same shapes in different ways.
Bindu cutting out shapes that have been treated with dry-mount adhesive.
She found all kinds of paper ephemera at a flea market.
Heidi contemplates a print she just pulled. The print is on the right, the plate with leftover ink on the left.
Gold leaf stuck to the plate and did not adhere to the paper as planned.
Fear not! Heidi will figure out a way to make this work.
Heidi figuring out which collage elements to integrate into her prints.
Heidi's big pile-o-prints.

About the Wassaic Project
The Wassaic Project is an artist-run, multidisciplinary arts organization founded by Bowie Zunino, Eve Biddle, and Elan Bogarin, finding home in a refurbished grain mill in Wassaic, NY. In the summer of 2008, this picturesque little hamlet became the site of a week-long arts festival with the mill serving as venue for 40 artists, 15 musicians and 500 visitors. Riding on the success of their previous year, the 2009 festival hosted 100 artists and 2500 visitors. Jeff Barnett-Winsby joined as co-director in 2008.
Participating Artists:
Ben Bigelow, Disorientalism, Ghost of a Dream, Janine Iverson, Karl LaRocca, Amanda Lechner, Corina Reynolds, Sarah Nicole Phillips, Tomie Seo, Amanda Tiller, Breanne Trammell, Brindalyn Webster, Leah Wolff and Jing Yu.
John Gilvey is a partner in Hudson Beach Glass and glass artist. Jennifer Mackiewicz is an independent arts consultant and curator living in Beacon. She recently curated the show “small” at Hudson Beach Gallery.
