Brightest in the Garden #1, 2008The work of Liz Moody is featured in the inaugural exhibit at the Shooting Gallery.
From the artist’s statement:
Liz Moody is inspired by her mother’s old vogue dress patterns, the magic and texture in the pages of vintage children’s books, and the profusion of blossoms when spring finally arrives in the Northwest. Liz uses acrylic paint, India ink, collage, and pastel to build up layers of texture in each piece. She loves brilliant, saturated color and playful organic shapes that reveal small mysteries of text and paint.
The show, titled “Burgeoning Blossoms/Fairy Tales,” showcases Moody’s multi-layered work which combines text, collage and paint and connects the power of fairy tales on a child’s fertile imagination with the profusion of blossoms that accompany each spring.
Andersen’s Fairy Tales, 2008These “small mysteries of text and paint” are worth seeing.
the Shooting Gallery lives inside newly opened Wallflower Custom Framing in West Seattle. There will be artist’s reception this Thursday June 11 from 6-9pm
