style='color:black'>Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein are creative forces to be reckoned with, and 119 Gallery is pleased to rein a portion of their individual and collective energies into the gallery this spring. Two Sculptors in Two Dimensions is a multi-media look at the converging and diverging paths, sensibilities, and media of these two artists, whose work runs the gamut from monumental outdoor sculpture to intimate statues, and compositions. Energy and composure proliferate in Dodson's and Moerlein's individual and collaborative work. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'>Both sculptors in wood, Dodson and Moerlein began working together several years ago. Since that time, they have shared artistic goals to realize their individual and joint creative efforts. Energized by their merger, they have undertaken large, public works, as well as individual series of prints and sculptures with corresponding themes. Their jointly created outdoor moose sculptures of wood saplings can be viewed towering majestically in downtown Nashua and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This public art project was followed by simultaneous residencies by the artists in the Swiss Alps. In Verbier, Switzerland, Dodson and Moerlien each created their own monumental sculptures. Listening to nature and their intuition, their pieces are as much a part of their environment, as in it. At the same time, these sculptures are intrinsically connected to each artist's own body of work.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'>The experimental nature of Dodson's two dimensional works represents uncharted paths for the sculptor. Dodson's totemic animal goddess sculptures result from the methodical decisions and actions she makes wielding chainsaw and chisel to shape the wood, while interacting with its grain to create her forms in a fluid fashion. Her spontaneous prints and drawings allow viewers a unique glimpse into her sculptural process. This series of abstracted animal figures reveals her process of using two-dimensional works to explore various possibilities of form and color normally restricted by sculptural materials. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'>The natural forces found in Moerlein's sculptures and prints are universal and powerful. Using earthy and spiritual elements, his organic creations are vessels of personal symbolism. Upon close examination his message reveals stories of personal conflict and perseverance. Juxtaposing mass and color, his prints are tenuously balanced with the same finesse as his gravity challenging constructions. Suspended in tenuous and powerful arrangements, they remind us of the strength and frailty which we find in our lives and the universe.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'>The different approaches and shared paths of Dodson and Moerlein's art reveal a mystical unity they channel from the cosmos, as well as from the natural and animal world. With attuned intuition and inspiration, their art is balanced in natural harmony. "Birds of a feather," the artists take wing in divergent, intersecting, and parallel directions. They will host a panel discussion about collaboration, shared effort, and individual vision prior to the exhibit reception, on Sat April 14, at 2 pm. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'>Dodson and Moerlein are exhibiting in <em>Boston Sculptors Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary</em>, in the University Gallery at UMASS Lowell, April 2 - 26.

The meeting was attended by more than 60 interested businesses and residents to start developing a vision and plan for the district. The meeting kicked-off with a presentation by Carole Schlessinger, the lead project consultant from Crosby, Schlessinger, Smallridge, covering the history of the district, a summary of the existing conditions and market analysis of Tanner Street and their vision statement. Following the presentation the community had an opportunity to offer feedback and guidance for this project. <br /><br /><div>The planning effort is designed to capitalize on Tanner Street's ideal proximity to the Lowell Connector Highway and Gallagher Terminal in order to generate jobs and stimulate economic development, while simultaneously addressing real and perceived environmental issues of the district. The input from the community on the 23rd helps the consultants and DPD formulate the vision for the District and continuing input is vital to make this vision possible. The next public meeting is anticipated to be scheduled in the spring.

The group included representatives from Cambridge Innovation Center, MassChallenge, GreenTown Labs, FringeUnion, Design Annex, and Space with a Soul. The day started with a bus tour of Lawrence and Lowell, in addition to a walkthrough of a few mill buildings. <br /><img height="272" vspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.436" border="0" hspace="5" width="400" alt="Lowell/Lawrence meeting" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs026/1101122219081/img/436.jpg"><br />The tour was followed by a lunch and discussion at the newly finished Appleton Mills in the heart of the Hamilton Canal District. With an expanded audience that included local entrepreneurs and vested stakeholders, the group engaged in an active dialogue on the attraction and benefits of flexible work spaces and how to foster a regionally-appropriate programming and other support services. The feedback offered a wide-range of possibilities and ideas, whose potential will be explored as part on a longer-term effort to catalyze innovation as a key component of the regional economy.<br /><br />In the last year the cities of Lowell and Lawrence have been working hand in hand with the Merrimack Valley Sandbox Initiative to cultivate entrepreneurship in the Merrimack Valley, building on successes evidenced in cities like Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville. Through visits to various incubator spaces in those communities it was clear that cities like Lowell possess the amenities that would allow entrepreneurship to flourish. One outcome for entrepreneurs of the cooperative effort between the cities and the Sandbox is the potential to aggregate the needed resources, such as an incubator space with lowered cost of entry, supportive programming to help accelerate new ventures and a culture where entrepreneurs can thrive off other entrepreneurs. The city of Lowell and the region as a whole are positioned to become the next new hub of innovation and we look forward to its continued progress in the coming months.

My heart has always been in New England, so as soon as I finished High School, I moved to Boston and received a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Northeastern University. <br /> However, my father, George Espinola, was a native of Lowell and his family immigrated there from Portugal and Spain in the early 1900's. So we've been a Lowell family for over a 100 years. My father met and married my mother in Bolivia and subsequently brought her and our extended family back to Lowell in the early 80's. At the time, Lowell provided various manufacturing opportunities for my family to work, as it was still America's largest textile center. This continues to serve as an inspiration to my company to look for manufacturing opportunities in the U.S. I've seen first-hand and been impacted directly by the effects creating skilled labor jobs can have on the economy and working class families.<br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>Growing up did you always have an entrepreneur spirit?</strong></span><br /></div>I didn't know it growing up, but I come from a family of entrepreneurs. Through the years, my father opened several businesses, so the idea of owning something of my own one day always seemed possible, I just wasn't exactly sure how I'd do it or what my business would be about. What really opened my eyes to the idea that I could own a business was the time I spent at the City Magnet School in Lowell where we had something called a micro-society. Basically, we would run our own businesses during the latter part of the day by setting up a booth in the cafeteria, making something to sell and employing "workers". My business was making wood key chain holders which involved convincing my classmates who took shop class to make them for me at a fair price where I could still make a profit, keep them employed and sell them at a price that customers would be willing to pay. It's a simple concept, but funny enough, still applies to my business model today. <br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>Explain how this business came to be and when you officially decided to make this your first priority?</strong></span><br /></div>My Ah'ha moment happened while scouring several shoe stores with my best friend who, at 7 months pregnant, desperately needed footwear that would accommodate her painful, swollen feet that no longer fit into pre-pregnancy shoes. The goal was to find a few stylish pairs she could wear to her baby shower, work and other occasions. To my surprise, this proved a difficult mission, as pregnant feet and designer shoes are apparently mutually exclusive. Six stores and three hours later, my friend was left to resort to flip-flops, which provided no support and didn't match the stylish garments she regularly wore. Astounded by this reality, I was forced to ask the question: Why aren't there any maternity shoes on the market like there are maternity clothes? After scouring the web and visiting dozens of retailers, I was surprised to find that the needs of expecting moms had yet to be addressed in footwear. From that moment on, I made it my mission to fill that void. I simply couldn't accept the fact that pregnant women were limited to changing shoes throughout the day, wearing non-supportive shoes or suffering through the pain of tight shoes, all of which are unhealthy and unsafe for expecting moms. <br /><br />Several years and patent filings later, I entered the MassChallenge with the commitment that if I won, I would leave the comforts of my corporate job and focus on bringing this important product to market. <br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>What made you decide to enter into MassChallenge and how did you hear about it?</strong></span><br /></div>I had been looking around for months for a business incubator program while also tapping into my professional network for leads on grants and sources of start-up funding. Eventually, I was introduced by a personal friend to a 2010 MassChallenge finalist. I could not believe an organization like this existed, especially one that is not only helping you get funding, but also giving you a complete tool kit to success. Quite simply, this type of program doesn't exist anywhere else. At MassChallenge, they give you all the resources you need to launch, like in-depth training, top-notch mentors and access to resources you would never otherwise be exposed to. Unlike other incubators out there, MassChallenge doesn't want equity or anything else from you except your commitment and passion to succeed. It's been an absolute launch pad for my business. <br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>Were you surprised to find out you were one of the finalists?</strong></span><br /></div>Competing against some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs in the world was certainly the most difficult thing I've ever done. I knew I had a great idea and there was a white space in the market for my product, but I went up against over 700 applicants globally, including local MIT & Harvard grads. To make it to the top 125 finalists was an amazing feat, but to actually be one of the winners to share the $1MM prize was a "pinch me, I'm dreaming" moment. I was certainly proud to represent Lowell, although, my hope is that it also inspires more women and minorities to get involved in the thriving start-up ecosystem developing here in Boston. We are certainly still under-represented.<br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>What is the next step in your business since winning the MassChallenge prize?</strong></span><br /></div>Winning MassChallenge means that we can get our product to market faster. Right now, we are focused on finalizing our production, establishing our supply chain and signing on new retail partners. <br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>How many employees do you have at the current time and are you continuing to grow?</strong></span><br /></div>I started this business as a company of one, but since MassChallange, I've been able to grow my team to five people. We get calls and emails every day from wonderful talent that want to join our team. We're committed to continuing to employ locally, but for now, we have to grow our business as our revenue grows. After our official launch in a few weeks, we hope that will mean expansion by this coming Fall. <br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>Where does the manufacturing of the shoes take place?</strong></span><br /></div>At the moment, we are manufacturing our high-end, signature collection in Italy. However, we are actively looking for a domestic factory to produce our mid-range line here in the U.S. We've looked at a few options in New England and NY, but our of course, our preference would be to bring manufacturing back here to MA. Boston use to be the shoe capital of the world and I'd love to play a role in helping that to be true again someday. <br /><br /><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Palatino, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><strong>Lastly, did living in Lowell have any affect on you wanting to be an entrepreneur?</strong></span><br /></div>It's funny because I often reflect back on my childhood in Lowell and how growing up in a neighborhood of other immigrant families, most of my neighbors were running their own businesses because they didn't speak the language well. They would find a way to create their own opportunities to work, whether it was opening a store, car repair shop or bakery. Lowell certainly planted the entrepreneur seed in my heart, but I also credit the city with teaching me that no hurdle is impossible to overcome and that we can each take the reigns on our own future. <br /><br />To learn more about Claudia Espinola or Casa Couture please visit their <strong><a style="COLOR: #0a74db; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: none" track="on" shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109465945245&s=2133&e=001tMstOCR_tUUXObhQAEiWK88ntOqjA9um83qDFKwn9NZoU9dTzCeV-H2ZH13G-_wfOtLe3r_BKaEpIf5ARyP08N1Fk2-42ObA_1oIFKpWVlqgy3wesjr3lw==" linktype="1" target="_blank">website</a></strong>.

Stunning digital video and super8 footage weave together as the women’s voices carry the film, telling their stories of meeting lovers, the choices involved in moving to Italy, the expected and unexpected compromises, and the search for a comfortable balance. As the fantasy veneer of Mediterranean village life wears thin, and beauty recedes to inaccessibility, their own desires and senses of self are called into question, becoming mysterious even to themselves. Filmed entirely on location in Positano, Italy, Sospira had its World Premiere in 2011 at the <A STYLE="color: #000000;" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://revolvingmuseum.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=UoLbTQKbAAEAAAOUAAXowQ">Boston Center for the Arts</A> and features a mesmerizing original score by <A STYLE="color: #000000;" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://revolvingmuseum.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=UoLbTQKbAAEAAAQsAAXowQ">Kevin Micka (aka Animal Hospital)</A> and <A STYLE="color: #000000;" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://revolvingmuseum.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=UoLbTQKbAAEAAASiAAXowQ">Chris Brokaw</A>. <em>(Film run time: 50 minutes)</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;">For more information on <strong>Lowell Women's Week</strong>, <A STYLE="color: #000000;" TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://revolvingmuseum.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=UoLbTQKbAAEAAAXMAAXowQ">click here</A>.<em><br /></em></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#990000"> <td bgcolor="" colspan=2 style="padding:5px;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #ffffff;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>ABOUT THE LOWELL FILM COLLABORATIVE</strong></span><br /></span> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor=""> <td valign="top" style="border-top:1px solid #000000;padding:5px;empty-cells:show;" bgcolor=""> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50" align="center"> <tr> <td> <a href="http://revolvingmuseum.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=UoLbTQKdAAH-----AAXowQ" target="_blank"> <img src="http://images.patronmail.com/pmailemailimages/1126/387265/section_2_article_1.jpg" height="109" width="200" border="0" style="display:block;"/> </A> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top" style="border-top:1px solid #000000;padding:5px;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;">Founded by Lowell residents and all-around film buffs Brett & Suzz Cromwell, <strong>the Lowell Film Collaborative (LFC)</strong> is a grassroots organization dedicated to growing the burgeoning artistic community of Lowell, Massachusetts, by celebrating the art of moving pictures.
