First Friday at New Grounds was a success! Many people came by to see the show and artist Pamela Wesolek demonstrated one of the many different printmaking techniques.

Lyric Elements by Jessica Weybright

In her June exhibition, artist Jessica Weybright uses many layers of soft color and thin lines to create a space that is superficially calming, but on closer examination reveals motion and chaos. Strong lines create a framework that grounds looser brushstrokes, but also provides for a freedom to move and grow. The eye is held for a moment then released. Repetition of elements, such as white lines, circles, certain colors as well as line and brushstroke throughout the work create a sense of rhythm and movement.

Exhibition dates: June 6 - 28
Gallery Hours: Tuesday 10 - 4, Wednesday - Sunday, 9 - 6
