<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Elizabeth Kinahan has created a whole new body of work for <i>A Rural Menagerie</i>. Kinahan explains, "</span></span>This body of work is differentiated by an increased attention to detail of both subject and background, and a shift to smooth hardboard surfaces which take paint differently than the toothy grip of canvas. The elements of color, texture and brushstroke come together to create a narrative of a brief existence, allowing for a silent story to come to life." She also accepted commissions of special pets for this show, a couple of which were displayed in the exhibition. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Elizabeth Kinahan received her Bachelors of Fine Art degree from the College of Saint Elizabeth in Morristown, New Jersey in 2004. The following year she packed up the car and headed west, in a move that would transform her creative process immensely. Although she had planned to move to Arizona, a stop in the town of Durango, Colorado became the beginning of a 13 year- and going- love affair with the high desert. Having known from a young age that her life ought to include direct proximity to nature, Elizabeth has found a fulfillment here that she never thought possible. She currently spends her days painting in a small cabin ten miles north of town, where she routinely gets visits from deer, turkeys, bear and foxes. She is a co-owner of Studio & Gallery, in downtown Durango, where you can often find her painting, bookkeeping, and hosting events. Elizabeth’s art strives to add beauty and compassion into the world, and serves to benefit organizations that rescue and protect both wild and domesticated animals.</span></div>

Dan Bartges, a full-time artist since 1996, paints primarily in oils. He has been featured in national and regional exhibitions. His landscapes, still lifes and portraits have been acquired by a number of private and corporate collections including; Marriott, Federal Reserve Bank, Markel, ClubCorp, Owens & Minor, Lockheed Martin, Performance Food Group, Media General and Capital One. He has lectured on art and color at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and other venues. Bartges holds degrees from Hampden-Sydney College (VA) and the University of Richmond (VA) and has studied under several prominent artists, at the Modlin School of Art (U. of Richmond) and the Studio School of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. A native of Florida, he and his family reside in Virginia. When not painting, he enjoys tennis, squash and bicycling.</span> </span></span></span></span></div>

After the first painting, I went searching for the landowner for permission to continue my work on his farm, and I struck a bargain with him: In return for his not bush hogging around the cow pond for a year, I gave him a painting.</span></em></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

The eye and mind take in so much when we take the time to just stand still in one place and patiently observe.<br /><br /> The experience reminds me of what da Vinci once said about staring into a fire or at a stain on a wall -- that when given the chance, the mind will imagine all kinds of possibilities.</span></em></span></span></span></div>

Each artist set up their station in the gallery as though they were outside, including what they would be wearing. Guests were able to walk around, ask questions, watch them paint, and learn tips and tricks to painting in the freezing cold, sticky heat, blowing winds, and busy streets. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new";">Gallery Flux would like to extend a huge thank you to all our loyal supporters and collectors that came out to our February reception for 'Snow | Stillness Covers the Land'! We love hosting receptions and showing the amazing artwork we have to offer. Receptions at Gallery Flux are a casual, fun time where conversation flows easily between artists and friends. It is especially exciting to learn first-hand what inspired the work and the techniques that went into its production. Featuring snow and winter themed artwork in a variety of mediums, this show is a stunning example of the creativity of gallery director Alexis Shockley, whose vision to create a winter wonderland evoking the peaceful stillness of winter was brought to life in this amazing exhibit.</span></div>

It was an exciting night as we unveiled the stunning watercolor and mixed media pieces! The response to this work has been extraordinary and the crowd at the opening made for a fun evening!</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For 20 plus years Kathleen Walsh lived, worked and raised a family overseas, eight of those years in Africa. During her time there, she built relationships with the local residents and became part of the community. On her trip this past year, she was inspired by the women. She took her sketch book with her and filled it with images of women as they went about their normal daily routines. The sketches inspired large acrylic and mixed media paintings upon her return to her studio in Fredericksburg. She let her creativity flow and the <em>Africa: Women I Met Along the Way</em> series was created.</span><br />

<em><span style="color: #660000;">It is difficult to say what in Africa surprised me most. Was it the half marathon run in the unimaginable heat of the Sahara, the handicapped in wheelchairs leading the race? Perhaps it was the miracle of water at an oasis deep within the desert. Maybe the staggering beauty of the orange red sun melting into the horizon at sunset. No. None of these. It was the people. It was the women. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;">Not one day passed without a gesture of kindness from the people I met on the street.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;">“I see you are a stranger, may I offer you water?” “I see you are a stranger, would you like to sit in the shade of this tree?” “I see you are a stranger, shall I walk with you so will find your way?” And most recently, “You are American? I will pray for your country.”</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;">In the USA I paint landscapes. In Africa the people became my landscape; the graceful stature of the women, the flow of robes and the flash of light; the energy and strength of the fishermen and farmers. I took these images home with me.</span></em><br />

After being contacted to come and paint on Vinalhaven, the largest island off the mid-coast of Maine, she spent</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;"> two weeks this past June soaking up and painting the local beauty.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;"> The island "is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a place of rocky shorelines, dense forests of pine and spruce, swooping sea birds and quiet, secluded coves."

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jennifer spent her days exploring the rocky shorelines, setting up her "kit" and painting en plein air. During these excursions, Jennifer would lay down the light and shadow pattern before the weather changed. Fog was a constant part of the weather, but it didn't stop Jennifer. She states, "I enjoy the challenge of painting in fog, you have a small value range, and you have to tease out the details in a scene."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;">Her favorite place to paint was Lane's Island, a 40-acre preserve managed by the Nature Conservancy with tide pools, rocky and pebble beaches and granite bluffs. Several old granite quarries are now swimming holes. During her time, the lupines, roses and wildflowers were blooming, which she captured in some of her pieces. The changeable weather with rolling fog, seal-sightings and the companionship of local waterfowl awakened her imagination. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday for our reception. It was an eventful night with an art talk by Matthew Scott Myers and a lively birthday celebration for our owner, Hugh Joyce! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">Scott gave an informative art talk providing insight into how he conceptualizes and creates his stunning pieces. He took questions and from our audience about specific works and pointed out small details that offered a different perspective. To watch the full talk, click here.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For example, when describing the following six pieces Scott </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">explained </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">that this </span><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">is a special tree near his home. He painted one of the strong branches with a bright background color. He liked the way it looked and thought it would be interesting to try another one with another fun background color. That got the ball rolling and he ended up painting four more. Each painting is slightly different and it's fun to challenge yourself to find the subtle differences. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After a quiet summer, we were thrilled to welcome back our friends for the opening reception of <i>It All Comes Together, </i>featuring North Carolina artist Matthew Scott Myers. A self-<span style="background-color: white;">taught artist, working in acrylics and oils, Scott's goal is to capture the vibrant world he sees around him. He describes his works as Saturated Realism, or sometimes Acidism, and then sometimes also Impressionism. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The evening was full of excitement and anticipation as each guest was entered into a raffle where one was selected to take home an original Matthew Scott Myers painting! Scott began the live painting at 6 pm and it was a treat to watch him work. He answered questions and encouraged audience interaction throughout the process. </span><br />

The delicacy of a flower, the power of the ocean waves, the brilliance of a sunset; all are awe-inspiring and represent one of our greatest gifts in this life, worthy of celebrating and protecting. I paint and draw from life as often as possible. Painting in nature, "en plein air", I learn to hone my skills of observation and distill the complexities of a scene down to its essentials. Bringing what I've learned back into the studio, I can then expand on my ideas with varied explorations in color, composition, and format. Ultimately it is my sincere hope that through my work I can inspire a renewed appreciation for art of the landscape and for Nature herself, as well as a desire to preserve the landscape for future generations."</b></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>"When I began to paint, after not having touched a piece of artwork for years, I came to art with little formal training, and 30 years of making my way through the world. When Professor Steve Cushner, at the Corcoran School of Art, asked his class “What do you want to accomplish when you paint?” my answer was that I wanted to incorporate systems theory into my paintings - linking my subjects with their before's and after's, as dynamic rather than static. Of course, I had no idea how to do this. For years, I painted, learning my materials and capabilities. One day, a studio guest asked me how I produced my work. While explaining that I often painted over old paintings that didn’t satisfy me, I realized that each previous painting had left parts of itself to participate in the newer painting. The new painting became an unexpected and unpredictable image incorporating elements of everything that came before."</b></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Originally from th</span><span style="color: #a64d79;">e hills of East Tennessee, Suzy grew up surrounded by color. While living as a military wife in Oklahoma and working as a full-time mother, she began dabbling in watercolor and rekindled her life-long passion for painting. She then had the pleasure of moving to Mount Pleasant, SC where she found inspiration in the rich beauty of the low country. Inspired by the brilliant landscapes of Charleston, Suzy began her serious study of color. She switched to oil painting and developed her technique of using visible brush strokes to tell a unique story. She specializes in impressionist bold color oil paintings. Her emphasis on color is designed to provoke emotion and perhaps connect the viewer’s own memories to the canvas. After moving her family eleven times, and sending her kids away to college, Suzy dedicates all her time to painting. She now considers art to be more than a profession. It is a spiritual place she turns to every day. </span></span></span></h2>

I’m inspired to create open abstract shapes with sensual folds and joyful colors, and in the process am discovering new potential in both form and finish. Working occasionally with malleable aluminum mesh I’ve found this medium offers a refreshing contrast to my work with ceramics. Most of my mesh pieces can be hung in the air, allowing for shadows and motion. In both clay and metal the exploration of open spaces is an integral part of my final forms.</span></b></span></div>

I do not intend to form any distinct imagery. The mind, however, flows from experiences of the past, and often imagery and emotion are inevitable when viewing non-representational art. Everyone is affected by personal history, giving each viewer a unique perspective. I’m fascinated by the variety of responses evoked by one piece and how there is no perfect understanding. Imperfection is beautiful to me, and I embrace it in my own work as evidence of humanness. I stay true to the process of creating by not “cleaning up” the final form. It is important to me that I am honest with each step of the work’s development and do not place more emphasis on the most visible outer layer. The edges that seem unfinished are as much a part of the piece as the central composition because of the history they hold." </b></span><br />

<b style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms", helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Matthew Scott Myers left College with an English degree and dreams of drinking and writing. However, he wound up traveling the United States and Europe in a floundering, drinking a little too much, rock n roll type of band. Somewhere along the way, he picked up some cheap oils and taught himself how to paint. For the last ten years, Matthew has been dancing while he paints, raises two daughters who also dance while he paints, and is married to a lovely woman who wishes he would put on some pants when he dances. In the last year his work has blossomed into a many splendored thing: Part Realism-Part Colorful play. He hopes to capture the earth joyfully.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I work in two mediums: blacksmithing and photography. I say blacksmithing, but over my 40-year career it has evolved considerably... the first ten years to learn the craft; the middle twenty creating architectural scale ironwork up and down the East Coast of the United States; and, the last ten creating forged sculpture. Concurrently with the last phase and partly from necessity, I have taken up photography. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fro the ironwork I use a two pound Swedish forging hammer and a 300 pound Kohlswa Anvil as well as innumerable other tools; for photography a Nikon 7000 rooted into a Mac platform and a large format Canon printer using archival inks and photo paper. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I backed into my life as an artist. I was raised around well-known artists and when I was old enough to realize their talents, quickly concluded I needed to find another profession. After serving in the Army, after completing college, I taught senior high school for 14 years, largely in the field of history. I loved it; and, I was exhausted. I finally realized I could not escape my upbringing - art it was. It was a scary jump. But jump I did and forty years later I am so glad I did. I gave me back my life. </span></div>

I walk from my house with my faithful Tye, around the pond, past the salt lick for deer, over the first of two small bridges, past the daffodils in the spring, past the old wall that reproaches me daily for not making it whole again, and up to the forge. On a good day I throw open the doors and let the sunshine flood the space."</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My work reflects both my urban and rural experiences. As an artist, I am driven by needs that are both aesthetic and social. My themes are universal and are concerned with the everyday reality of all human existence. The woodcut allows me to use a bold and direct black and white approach in my work. This is an ordinary medium through which I endeavor to capture telling moments in the lives of ordinary people. It is an attempt to reveal something of their character, the history that has shaped them, and the spirit that sustains them. These works express essential ideas, and I have merged my vision and the medium to celebrate both the process and my perception.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Inspired by Renaissance holy paintings and the sacred feelings they evoke, I want to create that essence of mystique in my paintings; using old ideas in new ways to portray my vision of things I see in this world all around. By borrowing fundamental visual elements of these holyworks, including richness of surface, deep clear color, iconic pattern, and goldleaf, crackled by the patina of age, I try to suggest a feeling of timeless reverence in a contemporary, secular context.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My paintings have evolved from figurative, to landscape and beyond as they move ever closer toward abstraction. Focus shifts from subject matter to an emphasis on richly textured surface, to conjure mystery and invite a closer look. Through experimentation, educated guessing and happy accidents, I have developed a process that combines traditional</span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> technique with unconventional, yet readily available materials.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I paint on panels prepared with thick texture and reflective treatments. I build the paintings, layer upon layer with sprayed pattern, translucent oils, metal leaf, patina and varnish resists. As layers emerge, crack or dissolve, they obscure or reveal underlying levels of color and shape that add the illusion of depth. Only then do I complete the process with finish brushwork to enhance that illusion and incite curiosity for what lies beneath. That which came before. </span></div>

Besides trying to capture the moment, the wind, the ripple, the sound and light, there is the physical factor of how she paints and it is very difficult to go back and finish later. Touch up, yes; stop for a few days and come back, no. She uses a painting knife almost exclusively, and that lays the paint onto the canvas very differently than a brush. Once the paint has begun to harden, she can’t push and pull the paint around, scratch and scrub, build and obliterate. The texture becomes too busy, too disruptive to her thought process. In the studio she will work 12 hours uninterrupted on a large canvas—capturing that same sense of urgency she feels when working outdoors. This is fueled not only by constantly changing light and weather, but also by the locations Hollett-Bazouzi chooses. She's drawn to areas that we see but don’t see. This leads to work being done in a series, expressing change over time, real or imagined, within herself or in the location.</span></span></div>
