Today — for many, a bittersweet holiday already — conjured mixed emotions on our art scene, too, as we are in the last week of an inspiring renewal of our annual MARY LIZ MEMORIAL MASTERS EXHIBITION. The 17th such show, this year’s edition marks the first time we have a solo artist, JEAN PLOUGH, reach this pinnacle of OFF THE WALL achievement. And it’s more than fitting for our feminist gallery that a woman broke this new ground. What's more, Jean has garnered unprecedented bottom-line success. With three additional sales tonight, including this work, the painter stands at 28 sales, which is not only the most of any single Mary Liz Fellow, but also more than any other MLMME show, period. Pretty rarified air. It comes with the territory when we shine a spotlight on such a rare talent. If you haven't yet experienced Jean’s canvases in person, please make sure to come in this week.
