Brockman and Wise produce abstract monoprints and paintings that resound with depth and layers telling the story in similar yet diverse patterns. 

Brockway creates substantial shapes with manipulated texture.  Prismacolor pencils, ink, pastels and graphite are introduced to create the complicated layers on the pieces.  Brockway states, “Sometimes I can’t get enough ink onto the plate and paper, and other times there is an excess that requires taking away. I feel like the process allows the work to take on a depth that gives way to a new image, a style that is my own.”  You will find Janet working at Studio 6000 in Sisters, OR.

Wise layers her paint with soft flowing motions.  Her work creates an energy that “brings order to chaos.”  Wise describes her process as, “trance-like; there is an implied trust that in imperfection I can endure and find beauty.”  Most of the work in this exhibition was created during the pandemic.  “Creating something timeless and beautiful for me has always been a comfort against the fact of life’s losses and fears.”  You will find more of Judy’s work at Hanson Howard Gallery in Ashland, Earthworks Gallery on the Oregon Coast and at the Portland Art Museum Rental Sales Gallery.
