Meet the artist!
6-8pm

Having established herself as an accomplished decorative painter, Elliot Twelvetrees has turned to painting on panel and canvas, infusing the work with the same rigor and intensity seen in her decorative wall painting.

Influenced by music and travel, she creates surfaces charged with velocity by her experience as a decorative painter. Indeed, an enduring allure and fascination with surface texture inspires her artwork, using layers as material structure, as landscape, and as expression.

Elliot works almost exclusively with a palette knife, burying this, scraping away that, adding strata upon strata. The result is a surface rich with mesmerizing intensity. Emotionally charged paintings with lavish color sensibility describe, rather than depict, place and sensation. Meaning is indicated, but encrypted.

Special musical guests:  Lydia Brownfield, Fletch, Aaron Pauley, Darren Whitaker
