Last Friday night we had the sneak preview and opening reception of Laurie Justus Pace's exhibition 'Pareidolia.' Laurie is an award-winning artist from Mt. Vernon, Texas and unfortunately she became ill last week and couldn't fly out for the opening. In her place, Laurie's son and daughter-in law, Morgan and Kelly, came and talked to all those interested in Laurie's distinctive body of work. Although we were obviously disappointed Laurie couldn't make it, all of our clients thoroughly enjoyed her spectacular new pieces. Most of Laurie's work is created using a palette knife...and she makes it look so easy! Below are just a few examples of the diverse works that make up 'Pareidolia.' (By the way, the term Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing animals in clouds or faces on the surface of the moon. It is the same thing that happens when Laurie gazes at her thickly applied strokes of oil paint and begins to visualize equine forms.)
