"Sessions" Abstract Works By Todd Alsworth

"Sessions" Abstract Works By Todd Alsworth

Join The Churchwood Gallery at The Preservation Framer for an evening of conversation, drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and original art!

Let's give a warm welcome to local artist Todd Alsworth for his first Artist Reception. Saturday, February 11th from 7-9pm.

ARTIST BIO: Other than a diploma, some amazing friends and memories, and a social complex or two, the only thing I got out of high school was an award for “Excellence in Art”. My love for art started very early, and my Grandma Lois actually was an Oil Painter. She painted beautiful, and sometimes fantastical landscapes, amazing portraits of my sister and I, and so many other family members. My mother’s house is basically an art gallery, filled with my Grandmother’s works of art. I used to draw quite often, and quite well, but I never really got into painting. I think I feared it because it seemed so permanent. I couldn’t erase any erred lines. I made an attempt to go to college, twice, one of which was Mass College of Art. But I realized that, at that moment in my life, working 2 jobs and trying to go to college was becoming overwhelming. I decided to give school a rest, and just try to build a bank account…FLASH it’s 28 years later and I’m a Chef, and Covid hits… restaurants are forced to close. Forced to change their businesses entirely, or lose them, and only allowed to open at half of their capacity. My 20+ year mentality of “I’ll always be able to find a job” has been incinerated. But hey, liquor stores are open and the government is paying everyone, sometimes more than they were making in their checks, to just stay home. My father died in March of 2021, and that’s when I stopped caring about how much I was drinking, and even worse, when I was drinking. That Christmas I got Covid, and for the first time in my adult life I went 7 days without alcohol because I was so sick. I now believe there was a certain degree of that week which was me detoxing, and going through withdrawal symptoms. December 28, 2021 I unknowingly began the hardest challenge I have faced up to this point in my life. A life without alcohol. I didn’t start painting right away, when I quit drinking. But since I have started painting again, I just can’t seem to stop. It is the only time that I’m not actively thinking about how badly I want a drink.
Art is everywhere, and I have days where I see the world in brush strokes. I use many different methods, and I have a few different styles, but they are all unique, and they are all me. My methods will sharpen, and my styles may change, but each piece has served it purpose, and represents a little piece of my soul. There is only one person that I strive to not let down, and that is me. The struggle may always continue within me, but it will never overcome me.
