Ian Shults: Party/Animals June 2013

Life imitated fine art at the opening last Saturday. Lots of good friends, drinks and laughter. Ian's paintings set the tone for a playful mood. His technique brings out the movement in his paintings as well as the movement of the crowd. Fun, lighthearted and presented with a bit of humor, Ian's wor...   read full post »

Carol Dawson: The Great Piece of Turf May 2013

These are watercolor??? Yep. Intricate, immaculate, impressive watercolors. Carol Dawson has created dense worlds of plant, leaf, soil, tree and flower.

Fatima Ronquillo: Private Revolution April 2013

Fatima's shows always delight with their whimsy, technical skill and slightly naughty symbolism. She enjoys watching the crowd try to decipher the narrative amongst the works.

What a way to start the new year! The gallery looks great filled with Jan's elegant work. There is just something about works on paper that is luxurious.

Angie Renfro December 2012

Oh, the way Angie paints. Whatever the subject matter, the result is always graceful and alluring. She has the ability to capture beauty and strength in solitary ships and isolated factories. Her "floral" pieces take on the same characteristics, no longer ornamentation but root and stem strong in th...   read full post »
