Five Graces Bring Positive and Family-Friendly Art Exhibition to Geneva, New York
Peter Tögel
York
Acclaimed women are drawn together for the first time in one show, opening
at the Earth Works Geneva Art Gallery this Saturday night.
Geneva, NY -- June 28, 2006 -- Gazing upon the works of the Five Graces --
one immediately sees the wonder, the movement, the flow, the talent and
genius of this unique group of artists. The Earth Works Geneva Art Gallery
will open the Five Graces group exhibition on Saturday, July 1st with a
reception at 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
Debbie Grayson Lincoln (the steady grace), Laurie Pace (the heartbeat
grace), Conni Togel (the wired grace), Diane Whitehead (the business-minded,
directly spoken grace) and Mary Jo Zorad (the quietly inspired grace) have
as many similarities as they do differences. To speak with any one of the
five women reveals a commonality in what inspires them and how they choose
to live their lives, with integrity and a commitment to doing their work for
a higher cause.
From strikingly diverse backgrounds -- as a daughter of German immigrants,
as a Missouri transplantee, from Texas to Indiana -- these talented and
acclaimed women reached across the country to come together, to offer the
world an opportunity to experience the joy of what they create.
There is no shortage of accomplishments among this group of women. An
American President and music producer Quincy Jones are among the many who
have artwork from this group in their private collections. This group of
artists has been published in several national and international magazines,
and their work is found in galleries and collections around the world.
The artwork takes form in many different mediums and styles, but never fails
to embody a common element. Whether it's a watercolor or an oil painting, a
French landscape evolving or a horse taking form, the existence of
"goodness" is always present in the finished piece of artwork. Think of
these artists, then, as swans, as harbingers of that goodness. For that is
what these five uncommon women have in common: the grace to bring their gift
to the world with ease and to offer it simply for what it is -- the
opportunity to experience the purest form of "joy."
The Earth Works Geneva Art Gallery is located at 247 Exchange Street,
Geneva, New York 14456-2406. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from
11:00 am to 6:00 pm and Sunday from Noon - 4:00 pm. The exhibition will run
through July 31st, 2006.
