Friday January 9, 5:00-8:00pm, part of the monthly gallery night

At State of the Art Gallery the new season begins with a trio of new members showing together for the first time. Patricia Brown’s works in acrylic explore the transition between figurative and abstract painting. Margaret Reed works with charcoal pencil to explore the symbolism and expand the narrative of timeless myths and legends. Connie Zehr’s photographic prints on metal and mixed media assemblage reveal her exploration of material reality and representation, memory and imagination. Working in a wide variety of media and styles these artists are excited to share their collected visions with the community. 

Connie Zehr will be sitting in the gallery 1/4 and 1/18.

Patty Brown will be sitting at the gallery 1/10 and 1/24

Margaret Reed will be sitting at the gallery 1/24 and 1/31
