Up Next at SSG - “Lady Painters: Inspired by Joan Mitchell”! Become a sponsor now and join us for a special Sponsor Preview Party on May 30 to meet the artists and celebrate in the company of friends and fine art. Featured below: Janet Bruce,“Firefly”, 2019, oil on canvas (diptych), 48 x 48. Bruce’s paintings are a conversation about displacement and memory. Each piece is a dance between chaos and control, about fixing a gesture without losing the energy of that gesture. She explains, “I take pleasure in layering washes, weaving verticals and horizontals, scumbling, scraping, all the while being mindful of the overall composition.” https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sponsor-preview-party-for-lady-painters-tickets-59191858442?aff=ehomecard
