Barbara S. Lewis
Faces
In Faces, Ms. Lewis builds upon her lifelong curiosity of light and shadows, as they form the individuality and personality of all things living. It prepares her for capturing the essence of her subject. Her love and involvement with animals, as a horse breeder, brings a personal knowledge of each muscle, movement and expression. As she applies her brushstrokes or feels the clay under her fingers, they mimic a caress of each subject as it emerges before her. Lewis sees every part of the world as a moving painting, created by the master artist. The obsession with trying to capture the life in it in stillness is what drives Lewis.
“This body of work marks an ambitious evolution in her practice over the past two years, blending traditional oil painting techniques with her experiences as one who explored Europe and the Middle East, its people, and its horses through her involvement with the Arabian horse. Simply put, it is from a love of life in every form.”

Theresa Grillo Laird
From the Mountains to the Sea
This exhibition completes the journey from the hidden spark of inspiration to the finished artwork. It represents the search to perceive and portray the essential character of a scene illuminated in a flash, and answers the questions why paint this scene in this place in this moment. For landscape painter Theresa Grillo Laird, the discovery at a young age that nature speaks to her in a language that shows a fuller picture than is at first obvious, has propelled her on a life long journey to illuminate nature's message contained in it's quietest places. Paintings include these contemplative moments in scenes from Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, California and Arkansas.
