I am a Featured Artist in the "Poetry Revealed" exhibit

at Columbia City Gallery

July16 through September 14, 2008

This series of acrylic paintings integrates words and images, using imbedded word forms to create the texture-bed upon which the paint is applied. The inscribed words are poetry, both my own and others’, often poems of gratitude for life.

Over the word-shapes are layers of paint, mostly hiding the poems themselves. They are not meant to be read. Instead, they provide a feeling tone for me as I paint and a compelling texture in the paintings.

I’ll have new works up during the following show, too, which runs September  17 – November 9. The opening reception for that exhibit is September 20th , 5-8 pm.
