Multimedia, painting and sculpture by Gary Birch and Deanna Newsom
May 2 – June 1
Opening Reception May 2 from 6 – 9 pm
Gary Birch works as a painter and a sculptor and is inspired by children’s art and myth.
Deanna Newsom is a multimedia artist, combining paint, pastels and collage to create abstract responses to forests and fields.
Both artists are strongly influenced by nature: Birch, by the intersections of nature and industry and Newsom by nature’s chaos and pattern. The artists experience painting as a pathway to learn something new, leading to art that can be literal or imagined, bright or muted, tranquil or unsettling.
