Under Pressure : Christy Pepper Dawson : 1.14.12

1.14.12 / 6pm / Bottlecraft: Yeller Studio and Bottlecraft Beer Shop are ringing in the new year by bringing you the second installment of the resident artist series. This time around we proudly present – Under Pressure: The works of Christy Pepper Dawson. RSVP on the Facebook event page and find out more after the jump.
The Artist: Christy Pepper originally hails from a small town in Nova Scotia, where she grew up as an only child, communing with insects and imaginary creatures. Drawing from her past, Christy creates a macabre world of misfits and outcasts, coating them in a sticky layer of molasses and gumdrops.

The Show: For the past few months Christy has been obsessively drawing portraits. Spurred by a growing curiosity of what each portrait can reveal about a person or even what hidden torments they may possess. Her portraits say everything and nothing at all, needless to say we are obsessed with seeing what she has in store. Get weird with us next Saturday, January 14th, 6pm at Bottlecraft Beer Shop.
