Our wonderful AUTUMN INVITATIONAL has flown right by. With just five days to go, we are determined to shine a spotlight on multiple works from each of the five talented OFF THE WALL veterans who are our 2023 invitees. We’ll start with HOLLY WYNN, a painter who has built a devoted following in our space since debuting in REEMERGE, the 2022 juried show that examined how the pandemic impacted the creatives in our community. Eighteen months, six sales and three awards later, she returns with four new works that take you inside her practice and unique point of view. “I’ve recently found myself creating representations of specific emotions and experiences, through a surreal, colorful and sometimes silly lens,” says the artist. “I’ve also enjoyed experimenting with different techniques and processes, both in oil and acrylic paint, frequently swapping preference between the two. My goal in trying new things is often to create more depth in the painting to draw the viewer in further — almost like they’re ‘in there.’” Note that all work shown here is available for purchase right now in person or online (offthewallgallery.org).
