Offsite Gallery Opening Reception:

An exhibition of paintings by Sheila Giolitti

May 3, 5 - 8PM

Offsite Gallery, 101 W. Main Street

Sheila Giolitti’s paintings are meditations on the interconnectedness of matter and thought as an ongoing process. A continuing dialog often ties recent work to artwork previously created. Paint appears both fluid and strict, self-organizing and ever evolving. The tension and intricacies of her work speak to the complexity of the evolutionary process. Viewers are encouraged to probe for meaning; creating their own narrative within an abstract landscape.
