"Explorations"


Thru Sept. 10, 2011 

 

First Fridays Gallery Crawl:
Friday, September 2, 5 - 8pm

 

Susan Guy's work reflects external explorations in the natural world as well as internal explorations of self. The surrounding natural environment inspires the artist to express her appreciation of it freely in her oils and watercolors. Working the more controlled medium of kiln fired paint on glass helps turn her attention inwards to emotions abstractly. (more)

"Places, Faces and Memories"

 

Sept. 13 - Oct. 8, 2011

Reception:  

Saturday, Sept. 17, 4 - 7 pm

Friday, Oct. 7, 5-8 pm 

 

Color is the dominant drive and inspiration for Dahlia's paintings. She is constantly torn between the desire to paint abstractly, and the desire to convey figuratively one of the images whose beauty haunts her, or a facial expression she'd love to capture. So many "Places, Faces and Memories..." and never enough time.  (more)

John J. Parker & BJ Fan

"Textured Tablets" & Smooth Paperworks" 
Thru Sept. 19, 2011

Parker's wood tablets combine his love of wood, language, nature, mystery and wonder. The individual pieces are intended as glimpses out of the corner of the eye - fragments of perceptions on fragments of wood. BJ Fan's remarkable 3D compositions of folded and swirling paper reveal the whimsical nature of a variety of creatures, including cats and birds. (more)
