Oji + Leeds

 

This exhibit features the two artists Patti Oji and Patrcia Leeds.

 

Patti Oji creates intimate portraits in her Still Lives.  A teacup, a bowl of cherries, or a cluster of marbles tells the story of the people outside the frame.  She uses darker palates and deep shadows to create a somber or reflective mood, capturing private, personal moments.

 

Patricia Leeds is an abstract artist who entices the viewer’s senses through her use of imagery, color and texture.

 

Exhibit Dates: April 12 – May 7, 2013

Reception: April 12, 5 – 8pm

Marin Open Studios: May 4 + 5, 11am – 6pm
