Participating in "20 Women Artists Show' in Ashwagh Hall

For over 100 years, Ashwagh Hall has been the cultural center for art in East Hampton NY. Artists that have exhibited there include Jackson Pollack, Willem De Kooning, Lee Krasner, Jimmy Ernst, Ian Hornack, Robert Motherwell, Robert Indiana, Claes Oldenberg, Hans Kline and Fairfeld Porter, among others.

All of them gathered there, displayed there and argued their various philosophies of color and art. There are art shows at
Ashwagh 52-weeks a year where many new artists in East Hampton -- still gather and share techniques.

On June 13, 2008 I was part of a show produced by Vito
Sisti called "20 Women Artists." I decided to feature my most recent work, my representational abstracts based upon by trip to India that I call my Sari Series for short. Many of these paintings are shown in my previous post.

Here are some photos taken at the show:
