First Show of 2013

 At New Grounds Print Shop and Gallery and Matrix Fine Art 2013 started off right with the first art show of the new year on January 4th! It was the last day of the holiday sale and all the artists' new work was on display. Not only was the event successful, but also a lot of fun!

New member to New Grounds, Wayne Chinander, stands next to his linoleum cut print entitled Maiden. Wayne has been a member since December and this is his first time showing art here at New Grounds.

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
