PORTALS AND PASSAGES: July 2-28, 2014 Lunaria Gallery, Silverton OR
Sonia was the featured artist for the month of July at Lunaria Gallery, Silverton, Oregon.
Portals and Passages, her show of nature inspired gelatin monotypes was on view July 2-28.
Opening reception was from 7-9 p.m. Friday, July 11, 2014.
Monotypes: one-of-a-kind hand pulled prints. These original images are built in layers of acrylic paint transferred from a sheet of gelatin. The receptivity of the gelatin surface allows for multiple textural effects in a process both fascinating and rewarding.
