Collaboration- July show at Pacific Rim Gallery
Featuring Dan Chen, Sandi Grubbs and myself
All three of us painted this picture, taking turns to add our own touch. It is amazing to see the three different styles blend into one painting. Sandi does Chinese Brush, I do watercolor and Dan does a fusion of Chinese inks, watercolor, metallic powder and pastel that is truly dazzling. There are three canvases like this, a triptych with one painting done by each of us individually but designed to be hung together, and one painting done by each one of us on our own.
Preparing for this show has been a rich experience for me. Artists spend so much time alone. It's refreshing to be with people who want to share their experience, their habits and disciplines -their lives. Thank you Sandi and Dan for the joy of creating together.
If you are in the Eugene area and want to see the show, come to Pacific Rim Art Gallery, on July 4th, 160 E. Broadway (in the basement of the old Quackenbush building.) The Art Walk begins at 5:30 and we are the next to the last stop.
