Gold. Oh yes!

Oh! An Opening!

Wed, 11 May 2011 20:21:23 -0400

Please join us for a one night exhibition of new work from Mary Roche and Danny Jones at our home/studio

After four years in our shared space, we are both moving on for new adventures. What better way to celebrate than to exhibit what we’ve been working on?

Not exactly your typical opening, so come for the show, stay for the party, bring a bottle to share and celebrate with us!

I am back in the studio after a three week hiatus. This is the start of something new, an attempt for me to “loosen” up my brush work and simplify the image. The plan involves raw canvas; this being the first time I will be using actual canvas in probably four years. All in attempts to push myself, shake it up, and experiment. // DJ

Detail of one of the 4 panels in the series. Things are starting to come together, though there seems to be more work to be done each time paint touches fabric! // DJ

april's show

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:17:00 -0500

sadly, the show in April has been canceled. The space where I was to show the four panels I’ve been working on has closed. The upside is that it gives me more time to complete the pieces to satisfaction. I am currently seeking a new space. The show must go on! well, not literally of course.
