These vibrant acrylic paintings by Carol Mather are created by pouring paint onto the canvas. Carol shares, “I love this technique because it always has surprises in the way the paint moves on the canvas. . . the real challenge is to try and control that movement to get the outcome you want.” View Carol's collection of pour paintings at Arches Gallery this weekend at Arches Gallery, open Saturdays from 11am to 6pm and Saturdays from 12noon to 5pm. This is the last opportunity to see our July exhibit - next weekend, Saturday August 6 & 7 new artwork will be on display for August.

Arches Gallery Artists
I've been fortunate to be part of the Arches Gallery Artists at the Workhouse Arts Center since 2014, and have my third solo exhibit scheduled in March.

Our collective of 20+ artists, who work in ceramics, jewelry, mixed media, painting, and photography, displays our work in the gallery. Exhibits are changed each month, and we take part in the Second Saturday activities at the Workhouse.

Stop by the gallery from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and noon to 5 on Sunday. We are in Building W-9.

The group also has a new website. You can see my page at https://archesgallery.weebly.com/glenn-cook.html, and I urge you to look at the other artists' work as well.
