Jaime Ellsworth
Jaime Ellsworth "Acclimation" Held Over
Jaime Ellsworth
August 8, 2012 - September 9, 2012
6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

  
Simple  forms  are consistent in all of Ellsworth's artwork where  she enjoys  working in series  offering relationships, discovery and contrasts while  creating visual situations  from everyday experiences and observations.  

"Although I  begin with a clear idea of what I am trying to achieve the paintings  actually  emerge  from what I already know and what I learn along the way.  Each  new series  directs the path I take and the journey is welcomed."

Her  paintings  are built of many thin layers of oil 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, Ellsworth  invites the viewer to first look  at the simplicity of the image and  then beyond, opening the door to the  imagination.

In  this  exhibit, "Acclimation" explores the ongoing story of Pagau, The  Black Dog from  China and Rhu, the Texas stray that were both rescued  and live a renewed  existence with Ellsworth as they acclimate  themselves to a new  environment.
