JULY 19 - SEPTEMBER 13
We are pleased to present Make Your Mark, a two-person exhibition
exploring the traces and the threads
of our eldest and youngest generation.
​
Drawing a line between a 50 year-generational gap,
Don Munson and Erin Reid each exhibit their freshest marks to-date.

​
I planned to break from painting. Not long after I accepted to put down the brush,
I began a new cycle
during the peak of a lunar journey
and at the end of one very personal.
​
I sat for days watching the strawberry moon rise from behind the hazy blues of the Appalachian Mountains.
I couldn't believe how fast she rose,
and ran for a sketchbook.

ERIN REID
Last year creating fifty paintings culminating
with Hanover Oak. Setting the stage for 2022.
Moving forward, I re-emerge. New abstract visions.
Made of multiple juxtaposed elements. A cohesive integration of
graphic and organic forms with illusion of realistic elements.
Color is always paramount. Videre, yes I see.
