Ello Gallery Show
Sadly, an awesome local gallery is closing: Ello Gallery on State Street in Portsmouth. (And it’s not just awesome because it’s showing my art. It is a place that is unafraid to take risks and exhibit things other than the typical seacoast scenes of lighthouses and sailboats. When it came to town, I breathed a sigh. “Ahh, we need more of these places–places with no pretensions and no hidden agendas. Art for art’s sake. Art to save the world!” Okay, I’m getting a little off track.) Three of my collages will be displayed for the final two weeks that the gallery is open: June 14-28. More below.
Postcards From the Edge is our final open-call exhibit featuring artists from the 2-year run in our space as well as new artists we have not shown previously. Each artist will present 1-4 postcard designs which blur the line between design, art and functionality.
Postcards From the Edge will run from June 14 – June 28th
(runs concurrently with Pinehaven Collective: Revival)

And so arises again the monopoly of art. The idea of Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus as great artists–their sales MUST prove this, right? The effect of seeing a painting in person isn’t like seeing it online, but at least there is still the Internet to display your art.
