Opening Celebration: Saturday, March 6; drop in from 11am to 4pm
Good on Paper is the gallery’s first-ever exhibition of works on paper, featuring paintings by Susan Altman, Susan Colwell, Aimee Erickson, Kathleen Jones, Laurie Meyer, Melanie Parke, Anne Darby Parker, Marissa Vogl, and Carrie Beth Waghorn.
“We thought we’d kick off the first show of 2021 with something a little different: paper,” says director Katie Geer. “Most of these artists tend to work on canvas, and there’s something a little freeing – and perhaps a little bit thrilling – about the different surface.” Artist Melanie Parke largely turned to paper during the height of Covid lock-down . “I love how working on paper feels so vital and immediate, free from the labor and time intensity of working in oil,” she says. “It was just what I needed to restart my image making process after weeks absorbed in uncertainty and loss.
