Underwater Swimming Reflections 3, by Oenone Hammersley, Mixed Media on Canvas, 36” x 60”Opening Reception: Sunday, January 30 from 4pm to 6pm
Artists Meet and Greet: Sunday, March 6 from 2pm to 4pm
Darren Smith’s fractured and reconstructed photographic works make the literal abstract. Oenone Hammersley’s work depicts abstract water paintings in mixed media on canvas and wooden panels where she has perfected a unique method of hand painting with multiple paint pourings. These ‘pourings’ are the essence of water with most of the canvasses cut in irregular, naturalistic shapes.
