Featured artists at Shaw Gallery

Shaw Gallery is hosting multiple shows throughout July.

BARBARA HEINRICH: Contemporary Classics

Barbara is all about timeless beauty. She blends classic understatement with contemporary sensibilities. This is about the wearer having an exquisitely made heirloom of beauty and quality. We have shown her work for 35 years, and she is one of the studio’s best friends.

KATHLEEN NOYES: Enigmatic Faces, Identity Revealed

Kathleen really works the surface. She applies layers, sands through them. She glues on scraps, paints over them. She plans, then changes. Large scale portraits of unidentified but familiar persons. Their joys and troubles are universal, and revealed by Kathleen’s explorations into personality.

MARY KANZLER: Soldier’s Portraits

This is powerful work. Large scale portraits of soldier’s faces showing the valor and struggles of their role. All done in black and white, charcoal on paper, with emphasis on raw emotion. They are stark, haunting, telling, and most of all, powerful. It would be unlikely to walk away unmoved by absorbing Mary’s portraits of men who have experienced the dark side.

SPOTLIGHT: Austin Titus, Melle Finelli and Gurhan
