Marilyn Dillard
It is always amazing to see artists create paintings that are twice their size! Dillards pieces are earthy, not only for their palette, but also because she buries the canvas in the ground for several months before she paints on them. This new body of abstract work ranges from subtle to bold. We still wonder how this artist who barely reaches four feet in height manages these huge canvases of hers!
Lawler finished the last pieces of her show with a serious leg injury. It slowed her down a little, but it did not stop her from finishing these intricate metal sculptures. For those of you who like metal work you have to come and see Lawler's work, they are amazing. Most of her pieces are cut out of a single sheet of copper which she then bends into their final shapes. The resulting work is elegant, spiritual, and often quite fun.
The crowd kept streaming in all evening long for this beautiful and elegant show. Anise took care of our visitors, and gallery owner Regina Held and her assistant Tanya Landin had a lot of fun hosting this event. They also wrote and submitted this blog.
If you missed the reception, remember that the show runs until August 29!
