PAMELA CALLAHAN: THIS IS MY RIVER
Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.
"My paintings are about the convergence of the inner and outer worlds, the river that we all move through.
"Woven through the imagery is the crow, both talisman and protractor. Its shape echoes the curves of the hills that surround the farm where I live and work. The time spent here has allowed me to not only see the land, but to recognize its energy as my own and vice versa. It is a vital exchange."
Wisconsin-based artist, Pamela Callahan will exhibit her new series of abstracted works in her solo exhibition "This is My River" at WMG from Friday, March 5 through Thursday, April 22, 2010.
Callahan was born and raised in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and received a B.A. in Studio Art from Lawrence University in Appleton, WI. For fifteen years, Pamela lived and worked in the Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago and opened her studio for the annual Around the Coyote Arts Festival held there each fall. In 2004, Pamela moved back to Wisconsin, where along the banks of Otter Creek, she is creating art full-time.
Exhibition Dates: March 5 - April 22, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.

JUDITHE HERNANDEZ: WHAT DREAMS MAY COME
Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.
"The trajectory of my career is not one that I could have consciously charted. However, the one constant has been my belief that what I do has value and that my work brings a perspective to issues that would not otherwise exist. For me, the creation of art has been a mysterious and wonderful journey. I consider myself and what I do "works in progress" and I look forward to where my journey will take me next."
Judithe Hernández's career began in Los Angeles during the socially and politically turbulent 1960's as one of the artists in the vanguard of the Chicano Art and Los Angeles Mural Movements. Regarded as one of the leading visual artists of the period, she was also the only female member of the influential East Los Angeles artist collective known as "Los Four" who are widely credited with creating Chicano visual vocabulary during the 1970s.
She has exhibited internationally; and her 2010 exhibition schedule will also include a major solo exhibition at the National Museum of Mexican Art, and the inaugural exhibition of the new Vincent Price Art Museum in Los Angeles.
Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.
