Detroit, MI 48226
On Friday, April 4 from 7:00 pm to Midnight, Studio 601 will present the artwork of Red,
Julie Fournier and Ed Gardiner.
Red
Red is a prolific artist whom expresses herself in many mediums. She writes, paints,
models, sings and is currently exploring color, texture, and self-expression in abstract
design. Red has lived in the city, country, and suburbia. She moved back to Detroit when
she left home at the age of sixteen. She started traveling overseas at the age of
seventeen, even staying in Lomé, Togo during the summer of 2006 to do some work with
the local elementary schools.
Red uses various art forms as a window to her soul and an outlet to purge her memories
and feelings. She is a passionate and eccentric lady with a fiery zeal for life who thrives
on opportunities to dance with change and flirt with chaos.

Julie Fournier
Born in Detroit in 1965, Julie Fournier's work explores how innovations and events of the
last 40 years have impacted our lives, psyches and relationships with one another.
She founded SmilingEyes Studio in 1997, and in 2005 graduated from Wayne State
University with a degree in Industrial Design, Cum Laude. Known by many for her oil
paintings, she's far from satisfied practicing one discipline; Julie considers herself a multi-
media artist.
Neo Realism best describes her style. Referred to as a "news reporter" because she is
inspired by often overlooked aspects of daily life, she challenges traditional notions of
beauty, social class and human interaction through her work as an artist.

Ed Gardiner (Edge)
From posters in Detroit in the early 70’s to post apocalyptic sculptures of found objects
from the back alleys of Rodeo Drive in 80’s LA, Edge has weathered and flourished in
the uncertain currents of pop culture and the edgier underground world of outsider art.
An artist, film-maker and producer of some of the hippest events in San Francisco, LA
and Detroit, Edge has lived many a Forrest Gump moment and continues to set the pace
as he creates an artful life.
Detroit is his birthplace, his home and as a city between breaths where anything is
possible, the canvas he has chosen to work with. It is here in Detroit that Edge has been
reborn, a warrior for a created world, a world where art, music and culture reign.

| IMMEDIATE RELEASE 7/7/08 My first show in Houston, TX is Thursday 7/10/08! The show is at Ripley House 4410 Navigation Blvd. Houston, Texas 77011 Phone: 713-315-6400 Fax: 713-315-6404 http://www.neighborhood-centers.org Each artists will give a presentation and answer audience questions. The theme is women, art, and culture. I hope to see you all there! Please spread the word as well! Red's art is a 20 piece series called the Red Series. The abstract artwork is part of an ongoing study of color and texture and incorporates the psychological angst of a woman re-discovering herself in a new environment where no one knows her name. The loneliness and isolation enabled her to relate to the character Dexter in the HBO television show and so she did 20 paintings inspired by 20 quotes she collected from that show. Red moved down here one year ago from Detroit, Michigan. She is finally getting back into showing her art work down here now that she is more established and settled in from the move. She graduated Wayne State University with a BA in Psychology and is beginning a global PhD program this fall at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, CA where she will be able to engage her studies online and continue working on her art business. Red's contact information is as follows: www.redprojectx.com red@redprojectx.com 281-871-0944 I hope to see you all there! |
