From Above Exhibit
jm-ART
349 West Commercial St., Ste 1020
Jul 7, 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Satellite images or photos from airplanes are the references for the paintings in this exhibit. I have always wanted a window seat when flying, so I could take photos. Even the dirty windows and my pitiful camera did not deter me from trying to get an amazing shot! I have loved it since NASA started showing the Earth from above in stunningly clear photographs from a way-higher perspective than I’d ever have. There is lots to think about after seeing the earth with no borders, no indication of mankind. The earth preceded us and will be here long after we as a species are gone. I am humbled by that thought and love seeing the eventual survivor in its natural state.

These paintings border on abstracts but hopefully have enough ‘nature’ to relate to for most people. This was also an exhibit that I wanted to experiment with, trying textures and methods that I’ve not used before. However several are knife paintings, that I’ve always loved doing. Personally I think they make perfect representations of the Earth from Above.

The other news is that I have now added a Studio workspace for myself within my gallery to actually have work in progress shown. I believe people like to see how a painting comes together.

Exhibition dates: 7/7-9/14
