PDX Contemporary Art in Portland presents Nancy Lorenz: Rock Garden from December 20, 2008 through January 31, 2009. Nancy Lorenz combines mother of pearl, pigments, lacquer, gold and silver leaf to create paintings that reference the natural world. Her paintings have both an abstract expressionist approach and fine craft techniques. Lorenz's imagery draws from Japanese aestheticism, chemistry and a classic painterly mode. The images in this exhibition include representations of traditional rock and moss gardens, water, Buddhist iconography and landscape inspired by her residency at Cill Railiag in Ireland.
