I’ll be showing some brand new figurative work as well as a new series of abstract pieces I’ve made, using some stacks of weathered flyers from some utility poles in Portland and Seattle.

Joan Fenicle: In Praise of Clouds
With both feet planted firmly in the landscapes of Colorado and New Mexico, Fenicle has always had her head in the clouds – that portal between earth and heaven where one can travel between realms of reality with just a little imagination. Clouds represent the fleeting nature of our existence and this exhibit is a tribute to them. Artist’s Reception May 17, 1-3 pm.
