NEW WORK OPENS AT WEST BRANCH GALLERY IN STOWE, VERMONT, SEPTEMBER 12, 2009

Ellore, 2009, oil/ink on canvas, 12 x 12"

SOUVENIRS

Souvenirs is a celebration of places lived, places traveled and places of the heart and imagination. In this colorful patchwork the artist puts together seemingly random and isolated artifacts…a multiplicity of squares that invite the viewer to discern patterns and possibilities, finding new meaning and perhaps the hidden wholeness within.

One may find many of these earlier images familiar from the artist’s paintings and drawings; water, woodland, flowers, plants, river stones and maps. What is new is the introduction of her travels and the uniform format of small squares; a playful survey of artistic experience.
