I was delighted to be a guest on the Movies Minus 10 podcast! Peter Rose and I had a great time discussing one of the most amazingly absurd dinosaur films of all time during the “VelociPastor Review” episode.

Hello there, my cosmic comrades of chaos! I can’t wait for you to join photographer Aaron C Packard and me when discuss our favorite book: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979) by Douglas Adams on the Femininity in the Post-Apocalypse podcast. I’m also excited to introduce you to Jenny Taylor, the next recipient of the Honorary Doctor of Dystopian Studies degree from UCK!

I created Subdued Dudes with Loud Suits as part of my series of brodalisques with generous support from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. In this video, I describe the artwork in detail plus I explain why I paint men posed as odalisques.

This painting is available through the William Havu Gallery. 

You make important artwork, and I want to help you get funding to make more of it! Join me at the Unaccredited College of Klaire to watch the “Artist Grant Advice Extravaganza” lecture to discover attainable grants. You’ll learn what application materials you’ll most likely need for submissions, along with details of how to prepare your materials. If you need help preparing your portfolio, artist statement, CV, project proposal, budget, and gathering your references, this resource is for you. Throughout this video, I’ll share my experiences from when I received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, and the South Dakota Arts Council Fellowship. I’ll also guide you toward valuable resources to search for additional grants, such as the Guggenheim Foundation, as I wish you luck!

​The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation awarded grants to 29 artists worldwide, including South Dakota painter Klaire Lockheart. Over 2,000 artists from 80 countries have received grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation since it was founded in 1955 by Charles Glass Greenshields in honor of his mother. This Canadian organization supports young representational artists so they can experiment and dedicate themselves to developing their artistic voices. 

When Lockheart learned that she was selected as a Summer 2025 Grantee, she was elated. This is her second grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, and the funding will allow her to create complex oil on canvas paintings depicting dudes in man caves. This is part of Lockheart’s series of brodalisques, which satirizes classic works of art by replacing lounging odalisques with contemporary bros. She began this series about 5 years ago when she was awarded her first grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation.

“I owe the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation a huge debt of gratitude,” Klaire Lockheart stated, “It’s an honor to be supported by such a generous organization! I’m incredibly happy that I get to continue to work as a full-time artist thanks to their financial support.”

​I’m pleased to announce that the South Dakota Arts Council awarded me an Artist Fellowship! 

​Keep an eye out for a brief article called “Introducing 'Brodalisque'” in the November/December issue of South Dakota Magazine. Katie Hunhoff wrote about the figure paintings from my Brodalisques series. 

​When’s the last time you worked on your artist statement? If you have never had to write one before, or it’s been awhile since your last update, let’s work on writing our artist statements together at the Unaccredited College of Klaire on Patreon! After I define what an artist statement is in this Artist Statement Guidance video, I’ll go on a small tirade about why it’s unfair to require artists to write them. Next, I’ll share what vital information you should include when you create your artist statement, and I’ll help you get started by asking you two simple questions. Finally, I’ll reveal a handful of tips to help you finish writing your artist statement. To watch the entire video lecture, please visit UCK at Patreon. 

If you’re familiar with paintings that allegedly depict the death of Cleopatra, then you’ll probably get a kick out of my figure painting titled the Death of Aeschylus. I describe my oil on canvas composition of luxuriating dudes while sharing the historic inspiration.

Hello there, my handsome humans of havoc! After you read Escape from Incel Island (2023) by Margaret Killjoy, join 3D print wizard Rachael-Anne Omps and me for our discussion and Maenad-O-Meter rating. Furthermore, Rebecca Bowers is announced as the next recipient of the Honorary Doctor of Dystopian Studies degree from the Unaccredited College of Klaire.
