Erica's Reception and Unveiling

Collective member Erica Sears was recently commissioned by the folks at the Chandler Center for the Arts to create large abstract paintings for the renovated Esther Mesh Room.  On Friday, April 21 the paintings were unveiled at a reception for the artist.

 Guests arrived to find the paintings dramatically draped (on left wall)

The audience listens as the hosts at Chandler describe the history of the room and the commission

Three generations

The big reveal!

Erica talks about her experience of doing the paintings, which she has dubbed "the girls"

The artist, the ladies of Chandler, and "the girls"

The audience flocks to see the work up close

Next time you're upstairs at the Chandler Center for the Arts, spend some time with these paintings!

Congratulations, Erica, on creating beautiful, versatile pieces (they are designed to work as one unit or separately) that bring color and interest to the elegant room.  May they add another lively dimension to many an event in the Esther Mesh room!
