Tanesia Hale-Jones: Friend & Collaborator

Tanesia Hale-Jones

My dear friend Tanisa Hale-Jones, sent me these joyous photos of her rocking a Rain Cloud shirt!!!!  Let me tell you how wonderful she is…….really these photos of her beautiful badassness…..nuff said!!! 

And....She is a…..writer…..poet….mother…..junior high Montessori teacher with an infectious laugh and a sophisticated-cheeky sense of fashion.  She is my collaborator & irreverent art partner in crime. Here are some images of our 2016 installation Romance & Necessary Fictions at the Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque.

You know how musicians often say a hit song wrote itself, that it flowed out of them onto the page, well our collaboration was like that.  It was effortless, we started with the title and each idea lead to the next, our individual ideas supported our joint objective. Often while we worked we were laughing so hard, we were laughing-crying.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to express how fortunate I am that she is part of  my life!

Maude Andrade Video by Apollo Road

Take a look at the video Alejandro Velasquez, the creative force behind Apollo Road, made this summer at my studio documenting my work & process. Alejandro is a delight to work with, he has the soul of an artist the know-how and aptitude to bring technology into the mix. I'm blessed to have him guide me into this new world of presenting myself and my work digitally online. I hope you enjoy the video and be in touch with questions and comments.

APOLLO ROAD PODCAST: MAUDE ANDRADE II

It’s been a year since Alejandro and I sat down to talk , it’s an understatement to say what a year it’s been, not in our wildest dreams could we imagine this, right?. This year’s conversation covers a lot of territory….. moving forward game plans, studio life, selling online, making videos, friendships, biking, drinking, and how growing up around parents who sold their art work really messed us up, ruined us for normal life!
