JANET BROCKWAY
JUDY WISE
INTUITION WITHIN-JANET BROCKWAY AND JUDY WISE Brockway 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.
Upcoming: November 28-December 23
RAIN SPARK GALLERY-A SAMPLING IN THE DEE DENTON GALLERY
Check out this exhibit at Lakewood Center and then visit Rain Spark Gallery!
The Rain Spark Gallery is seasonal and is relocates in different store fronts in Lake Oswego each year. It is open November 1 through December 24. This year they are located at 180 A Avenue on the corner of A Ave. and 2nd Street. The size of the space is different every year so the number of artists participating changes too. This year there are 21 members and 12 guests exhibiting.
Rain Spark is a cooperative gallery, so all of the exhibiting artists prepare the space for the exhibition, install the work, man the floor, do all of the marketing and de-install at the end of the two month run.
You can meet the artists by looking at the schedule card by their work. The gallery will offer everything from paper arts, books, jewelry, glass, wearables, sculpture, pottery, fibre art, painting and prints.
At Lakewood, you may purchase the work from the box office and take it with you. A portion of the sales is donated to the Lakewood Center.
