Park Slope artist and OTBKB friend,  Shawn Dulaney, is having a show of her new work called WATERFALLS, at the Lee Weber Gallery in Scarsdale on Friday May 11th from 6-8 p.m. Location: Lee Webter Gallery: 17 Boniface Circle. For directions, call the gallery:

I love her work and this looks like an AWESOME group of painting. She has exhibited her work nationally for
more than two decades, including important venues in New York, Santa
Fe, California, Pennsylvania and Colorado.

From The New York Times (Sunday, April 27, 2003):
"Stylistically, the paintings are a cross between the atmospherically
intense seascape paintings of J.M.W. Turner, and the impulsive,
intuitive abstractions of Cy Twombly. One distinct characteristic of
Ms. Dulaney’s work is the use of poetry; enigmatic words inscribed
directly into the wet acrylic paint. A soupy, drippy texture to the
acrylic paint characterizes all these works. The exquisitely painted
surfaces of all are a pleasure to see."

In
her paintings, Dulaney places pigment in acrylic medium and employs
several layers of transparent glazes to achieve a rich translucency
that enables the viewer to see colors through each other. This has
prompted at least one writer to note that Dulaney’s work relates most
closely to the "Mark Rothko branch" of Abstract Expressionism.

Shawn
Dulaney studied at Mills College (Oakland, CA), the Berkshire College
of Art (Maidenhead, England), Stanford University Studies Center in
Britain (Maidenhead, England), and the New School of Art (Toronto,
Canada).
