MASTERSTROKES: When our jury singled out JEAN PLOUGH for BEST ACRYLIC STROKES, it was about these four paintings in UNDER $100. For our audiences, it has been the continuation of a love affair with the artist’s work. It all began nearly three years ago when, at the request of long-time OFF THE WALL artist and lifelong friend Jeff Thomas, she submitted paintings to our online pandemic auction SAVE DIRTY FRANK’S, which benefited our staff. The rest is history, with the most important chapter being Jean’s turn in MARY LIZ MEMORIAL MASTERS EXHIBITION 17 during spring 2022. That tour de force was an unprecedented solo outing in the most significant slot on our calendar, which included a rotation of new work in the middle of the show — something we hadn’t done since Mary Liz herself ran our gallery. It was necessary because MLMME17 had nearly sold out in its first month, and admirers of these pieces should know...yes, Jean has sold out yet again!
