Bell Gate by Joan Macnamara
exhibition
June 4 June 29, 2014

In this collection of paintings, artist JOAN MCNAMARA explores familiar places with a new intimacy.  The surface is pierced as she dives into the water and swims through the reeds and rocks, COMING UP FOR AIR in the sun, then resuming the search.   The essence of an image is revealed with a clear voice.  Space is defined with a quick line, gesture, and the application of paint with large strokes of color.  Repetition of circles, lines and planes are stretched overlapped, juggled and manipulated to create visual vibrations that are uniquely personal.

First Prize Winner,  narrative, scraffito, child's eye view
Annual Juried Exhibition
May 9 June 29, 2014

In the First Prize winning painting "Kitchen Story," Katherine Kurtz captures a sense of the sadness of childhood. Set in a kitchen as a toddler might view it, the vibrant reds and pinks of the painting are expressively countered by the scraffiti used to suggest both the figure of the child and an undefined mystery. Of 212 entries submitted to GoggleWorks, 79 works were accepted into the show and juried for prizes.
