Sensory Observation: Spanning Realism and Abstraction
Dawn Lee and Lorena Salcedo-Watson
Reception: Wednesday October 3, 2012 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m
ArTalk: 6:00 p.m.

Both Lee and Salcedo-Watson have identified themselves as artists whose work is well-established in two-dimensional imagery. The focal point of this exhibition is their connection to mark-making and paper as well to the environment. Whether it is the human figure, rain on water or the creatures that inhabit the natural world, these artists explore relationships between life forms, their morphologies, and the essence of their living energy.

Myrna Burks: The Structure of Color
Reception: Wednesday November 14, 2012
ArTalk: 6:00 p.m.

Myrna Burks's drawings and paintings are influenced by her extensive background and knowledge of printmaking. Burks's paintings and drawings emerge through the print processes of layering color and shapes on flat planes. Though the abstract images speak to the duality of landscape and architecture, the lines and forms she makes on the surfaces impart a deeper meaning that is both pure and sublime.
