The Addison Center for the Arts presents Expedition-Composition, an art exhibit of paintings by Mary Dorrell. The exhibit opens August 14 and continues through September 21, 2019.
Expedition/Composition features Mary Dorrell’s paintings that communicate her sense of adventure and wonder. Everyone is welcome to attend the artist reception on Saturday, August 17, 2019, from 2 to 4 pm.
“Before starting a new piece, I ask myself, “ What drew me to that place or subject and what am I seeking to convey about the experience?” “Was it the storm that just passed, a dense wood or a stunning sunset?” “Was it a shared experience?” “Was it a memory?” But that is just one aspect, what draws me to create is a desire for connection and a sense of discovery. I open my heart and mind to allow the painting to flow to where it wants in telling the story. Each painting has a mind of its own and vibrates with its own energy. I feel compelled to create paintings that convey a taste of adventure, a response of emotion, and a bit of mystery.”
