"Perspectives in Mentoring: The Paintings of Anthony Ulinski and Deneé Black."
Anthony Ulinski and Deneé Black. This is the first in a series of shows focusing on the importance of mentoring in the fields of art and craft. Anthony Ulinski is an accomplished oil painter who has taught extensively at Penland among other well-respected schools. Deneé Black, a talented mixed media painter, has taken classes with Anthony and has been mentored by him for several years. The show features not only the cityscapes of both artists, but reflects the evolving nature of a mentoring relationship. Their work, while stylistically different, share structural lines, strong perspective, and bold color. Join us for an artist talk on May 11 @ 7pm. Anthony & Deneé will be here to talk about their work and the importance of mentorship in a casual, conversational style.

About Jane Dever's show Theotokos (the God-Bearer), she writes "My Art Heals and Gives Birth, every time I apply paint, (what sometimes feels like my blood) to the canvas. Stuck on the Madonna theme for 8 years, (no coincidence), I've worked through a lot of nagging issues on mothering, being mothered and of my God - search for unconventional love. In losing myself in each painting, more is revealed, (I find myself), and I find myself there."
