Jaime Ellsworth - New Paintings
Jaime Ellsworth
September 10, 2008 - October 5, 2008
6:00 p.m - 9:00 p.m.

    The Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery is pleased to offer the new paintings by Northwest painter, Jaime Ellsworth.

Simple forms are consistent in all her artwork and she enjoys working in series offering relationships, discovery and contrasts.  She creates visual situations from everyday experiences and observations. One of those situations is a series of paintings based on Pagau, the dog they adopted from China and his experiences in the Western World.

Ellsworth's paintings are built of many thin layers of oil and oil bar starting with a limited palette of bold colors on large canvases or wood panels.  Subsequent layers allow the under paint to peek through and transparent glazes give the final surface a subtle tint.

With each work, she invites the viewer to first look at either the simplicity of the image or it's complexity, opening the door to the imagination.
