Gail Wagner and Jennifer Pettus: All of the Above
"I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none."
-Ben Shahn

Offbeat aesthetics unite the distinct styles of Jennifer Pettus and Gail Wagner in this eclectic exhibit at EDGE gallery.

Sara-Lou Klein: Bird Tales
Included in this exhibit, Sara-Lou Klein has transformed some of her experiences into whimsical tales. From birds and owls to humans, scenarios are created to lift the heart. Sometimes, though, her art takes on more serious undertones, such as dealing with the death of loved ones. The media of colored pencils, acrylic paint, pens, oil sticks, and collage material on wood panels and upcycled wood are used to explore and experiment with these imaginary tales.

She is inviting the community to bring a box of tampons, pads, mini-pads, or other personal hygiene products, to the gallery, in exchange for a die-cut vinyl sticker (featuring her art). The collected items will be donated to The Action Center of Jefferson County - who assists those facing hardship and homelessness.

Guest artist Zoa Ace: New Works
Zoa's work is included in the permanent collections of the Denver Art Museum, the Vance Kirkland Museum, The El Pomar Foundation (Colorado Springs), Kaiser Permanente, Children's Hospital and the Maven Hotel (downtown Denver). Her oil paintings, watercolors, and collages are also included in numerous private collections across the United States and Europe. Her paintings typically depict people and animals, often in theatrical settings, as if they are actors on a stage. Symbols of chance, luck, hope, and mystery may be present within her scenes.
