As a student of art history, she always had a deep appreciation for the iconic classics, but as a smart ass, she had an even deeper appreciation for screwing with things. Never leaving well enough alone, she manipulates images from 50's era advertisements to old Renaissance masters, infusing rich history with today's moronic pop-culture.

Julie Maynard | Absence

Opening Reception for Julie Maynard: Absence October 14th, 4-6pm Julie Maynard comes to us from Frederick, MD.  Statement for “Absence” Many of the pieces in this show come from a series called “Mass Produced Pigeons” that looks at how things cut from the same pattern develop a stubborn individuality. Several of the framed works use and reuse the images of a handful of pigeons— often as a silhouette, or absence. Julie Maynard -  My work is a form of painting with paper on two- or three-dimensional surfaces, often incorporating found objects and words.

Artist, Liz Goins from Charles Town, WV joins us in September with Paper Cuts and Book Arts.  First Friday Opening Reception is September 1st • 6:30-8:30 Meet the artist • Light Refreshments Served ________________________________ Elizabeth’s body of work demonstrates her own unique style of papercutting by replacing the traditional use of scissors for an x-acto knife and mixing up the conventional form of papercutting with her own experiments. For example, “I incorporate papercuttings in my altered books as well as making books by hand using papercutting techniques for the book pages. Each papercutting is one of kind. “Even if I recreate a design I can’t help but change a component to create a one of a kind papercutting”. Images for Elizabeth’s papercuttings are inspired by her everyday experiences. ______________________________ Elizabeth resides in Charles Town, West Virginia where she offers workshops in her studio, teaching Book Arts, Papermaking, and Papercutting.
