Kathryn Keller – “Rock-Paper-Scissors”
Theatre Gallery | Artist Reception: Feb. 5th, 5-7pm, Throckmorton Theatre
Artist Statement
An intrinsic aspect of how I look at my paintings involves leaving traces of evolution at every step along the way. There is in the layering of paint I find a delight in the archeological discovery when one layer effects the other, and the happy accidents that make a painting interesting. In addition the inspiration from my travels welcomely creep in and out of my work. 
Rock-Paper-Scissors
Came about with the addition of enhancing textures by way of paper and linen cut by scissors to create a further richness of layers in addition to the paint. With these materials the referral to the well known game follows the surprise element of randomness.

Margot Hartford – “New Mixed Media”
Crescendo Gallery | Artist Reception: Feb. 5th, 5-7pm, Throckmorton Theatre
Artist Statement
As a commercial photographer it is no surprise that photographs keeps appearing in my art work. My work ranges from mixed media collage to the construction of three-dimensional light boxes. Basically anything I can get my hands on. Recently I have been using poured resin, to give my work an overall glossy look. No matter what medium I use I always incorporate my own photographs into the final pieces.
I teach workshops in encaustics and mixed media collage in San Francisco, Mill Valley, and Benica. More info: http://mhartford.com/
