"Same Inside"
paintings by Karle Norman August 6th - September 4th ![]() “The Same Inside pieces ask the viewer to look past the external differences that can set us apart from one another. Our anatomy is trying to show us how much we have in common.”-Karle Norman
Karle Norman is an artist living in Buffalo, NY. Born into a conservative religious group that emphasized strict adherence to the Bible, he used art as an escape. Many hours were poured into his sketchbooks, something he still maintains 20 years later. Karle credits his grandmother, an artist herself, with instilling the desire to maintain a creative practice. His “Same Inside” series seeks to explore the relationship of our shared experiences to our physical differences. For more of Karle's work, please visit https://www.karlenorman.com/ |
"Ruminations Rising"
paintings by Michelle Capizzi August 6th - September 4th ![]() “In Ruminations Rising, the conversation centers on the uplifting energy of renewal, and pondering the rhythm that emerges when connecting to the muse that sets us free. I infuse those moments of joy into layers of paint, hues of positivity, and shapes that stimulate movement in body, mind, and spirit.” -Michelle Capizzi
Michelle Capizzi is a mixed media abstract painter. Her paintings ignite conversation. Every piece tells a story, has its own energy, and is deeply layered. She is fascinated by the dialogue among shapes, color, and texture, all interwoven with music. Capizzi found her way back to the canvas after a hiatus spent raising three sons, working as an art director, graphic designer, fashion stylist, and art gallery volunteer. Her past has established a fertile base for exploration and trust in her process. For more of Michelle's work, please visit https://michellecapizzi.com/ |
