Lisa Orselli and Patti Harney have joined creative forces to explore artistic collaboration. They asked themselves: What can it look like for two artists to share a show? And present it in a way where the end results is more creative and impactful than the sum of its parts? The title, "Layers", lands well over both bodies of their painted and encaustic work in this inspiring show. |
An added bonus, come see their joint project!

Lisa's Statement:
"This body of work was inspired by a couple of things. One, a class I took exploring encaustic techniques where translucency played a big part. The second was preparing this joint show with Patti Harney. In titling the show “Layers” it fit perfectly with the way I was working with the wax: Using transparency to create and reveal layers. Doing a collaborative piece with Patti provided an experience of playing and taking chances which carried into my work." Patti's Statement: "I am an oil painter. What inspires me to paint is a deep reverence for the innate beauty that surrounds us. My process begins with a subject in mind. As I paint I look for ways of abstracting it or of painting its aliveness into being. I prefer to paint on wood because I can sand and scrape through layers of paint to achieve spontaneous effects. I also love to layer a new painting over an existing one, leaving some of the history to show through. I believe there is transformative power in art. Not just for the creator but for the viewer as well. This is why I paint. I am deeply humbled to be of service in this way." |
