About the Art and Artists:
Anna Curnes, prominent glass artist and owner of the ALG Collective, will feature her new series, “Faith,” tapping into art forms from her early career and unveiling for the first time ever sculptural ink and watercolor compilations alongside her signature fused, hot-blown and sculpted glass creations. Using a kaleidoscope approach, Curnes transforms her blind contoured and colorful prayers from years passed into larger than life sculptures, mimicking the feel of glass, but with a reflection that’s all their own.
Annie Griffeth, celebrated illustrative artist working in mixed media, will feature her new body of work, “The Stories We Share,” an illustrated exploration of the prominent and powerful archetypal journeys that shape our lives. In a departure from last season's softer lines and minimalist compositions, bold line work in Annie's signature ink style takes center stage with a variety of symbols and creative characters in this reimagining of the Magician, the Outlaw, the Lover, and more.
Melissa Ellis, accomplished sculptural oil painter, will feature her latest series of sculptural oil works, "Bijoux,” the French word for jewel, with an unexpected twist. Famed for her magnificent celebration of color, shape, contrast and motion, her textural oil paintings on canvas will appear, but this new collection will also include her first-ever collaboration with noted fine art photographer, Costa Christ. By adorning his Mediterranean photographs with her distinctive oil “jewels,” Ellis intensifies the realism by painting directly on the photographs to bring them fully to life in 3D effect.
Christi Meril, recognized abstract expressionist working in various mediums on canvas and wood, will feature her new collection, “Terrain,” which captures the journey from up close to aerial views of bold, juxtaposed natural and urban terrains. Highlighting her innovative new process of erecting paper sculptures onto painted canvases in addition to her distinct wooden sculptures, Meril draws inspiration from architecture, campfires, cityscapes and rock formations, bringing her pieces to life with oil & acrylic paint, campfire charcoal, paper, resin and even neon lighting.
