I am happy to share that I will be exhibiting my work at the Hampden Gallery in UMASS Amherst from September 16 - October 11, 2018. Please join me for the reception on Sunday September 16 from 2-4pm.

"In this body of work Houle questions our origins by poking at our ties to primitive species, a deeper sense of time and the cosmos."

Please check out these great articles about the Featherlight (foul falls) event that took place on Friday September 26 2014. Over 500 people from all parts of Ithaca attended - native Ithacans, Cornell faculty, students and staff and our neighbors at Ithaca College. Thank you to everyone who assisted and participated, I was elated to have shared this night with you all! Special thanks to Friends of the Gorge for volunteer support and Cornell Council for the Arts for funding.

In January 2014, I participated in a group show at the Chazan Gallery at Wheeler College in Providence, RI. Two articles spoke about the exhibit and can be read on the Providence Phoenix website and Providence Journal. I was very happy that Greg Cook wrote a bit about the show I had up at Montserrat in January 2013 in the Providence Phoenix piece. There is further information about the group show on the Chazan Gallery's website.

This summer I will be traveling to the Vermont Studio Center for the month of August. I have launched my first crowd funding campaign to help raise money by selling my artwork so I can fund the residency cost. Check out my video and project description here.

On September 22 & 23 I will be exhibiting my work at JP Open Studios. It is a very fun event in Jamaica Plain where hundreds of local artists exhibit and sell their work. Come and check out my table at the Loring Greenough House at 12 South Street. More information can be found on their website.

During December 'Animal Herds' will be migrating to Montserrat College of Art's Frame 301 Gallery. There is an 18' long window box that they will inhabit. I'll be busy in Vermont making more animal cut outs to fill the space! The wolf pack is currently on view at the Artist's and Craftsman Supply in Central Square, Cambridge. Check out images on my blog.

I was recently accepted into a group show, "Life Forms" and was awarded a solo show as well at the Caladan Gallery! Below is the press release.

CALADAN GALLERY presents a juried exhibition of 11 national and international artists entitled “LIFE FORMS”. There are infinite combinations of stellar material in the universe, making up an infinite number of life forms. These life forms both exist in reality and in the imagination. They are geometric in form, the basest, simplest growth in crystals or they are more complex, organic and mysterious. Is there life in the deepest regions of space? If so, how does it appear? Life here on Earth manifests where one wouldn’t think it possible, devoid of light and air. Contrary to that, it teems in tidepools everywhere, or grows on the back of something else, or lives in syncopation with other life forms. This exhibition is about life energy.
Jon Hyde and Kimberly Sultze present photographs of the natural world in “Wild Eye-to-Eye Encounters”. They write: "I see you seeing me. It’s the moment of eye contact between the human and the non-human animal. The recognition and acknowledgment. A communicated act. A memory. Our work explores and celebrates human-animal connection and interaction through the medium of photography… For us, getting out into nature and our wild spaces is a way to make eye contact with the more-than-human world; to slow down and take the time to stare it in the face and acknowledge its right to exist. When you move into a place, you get to know the neighbors. You make eye contact. You put a name to a face. Our wild spaces—and the wild creatures that inhabit them—deserve no less."
These exhibitions will be on-line at Caladan Gallery from May 10 - August 31, 2012. For more information, please call 617-838-8929 or email us at director@caladangallery.com.

MORE ABOUT THE PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: “LIFE FORMS”:

Solo Exhibition Award Winner Jenn Houle (Jamaica Plain, MA) states of her work: "I seek to better understand and accept my own mortality by researching the greater life cycles that occur on our planet and to understand my existence as a single organism that helps to sustain this cycle. My current paintings focus on this energy cycle, specifically the story of North American wildlife. Animals are directly connected and affected by the rhythms of nature. These rhythms exist from the molecular to the cosmic level, a cycle of birth, life, death, birth and infinitely on. We are all part of this greater cycle. I hope to pass on a deep respect for the complex tale of survival of animals that eat, mate and forage in the wild."
