I AM A PART OF ART: CATA ANNUAL Art SHOW

(8/11) CLARK GROUP 8

Gallery wall with five paintings

ABOUT THESE PAINTINGS:

Nature and an appreciation for the environment is a theme that radiates throughout this grouping. Using varying media and materials, artists Eric Schumann (using watercolor), Margaret O’Keefe, Connie Most, and Diane Paoli (using tissue paper and mixed-media) created extraordinary flowers full of life and texture.

Paired with these floral works are two graphic and captivating abstract paintings—one by Lynn Lipka and the other by JoAnne Potash. In their works, both Lynn and JoAnne use bold brush strokes and touches of white space to draw the viewer in.
