Artist Talk: Mixing It Up

About This Event

Sunday, August 9th at 2 pm at the WREN Gallery

Join exhibiting artists Deanna Jacome, Anthony Surratt, and Lee Williams for a conversation about their artistic processes, inspirations, and how Mixing It Up came to be.

All are welcome. Please RSVP for this free event. 

Featuring handmade earth-pigment oil paintings with fibers and natural materials, Deanna Jacome creates atmospheric, layered landscapes rooted in the natural world. Anthony Surratt explores abstraction through paper, ephemera, and assemblage, building richly textured compositions. In contrast, Lee Williams constructs colorful, whimsical sculptures using wood, steel, concrete, rope, and an array of found materials.

Mixing It Up brings together mixed-media works by these New England artists whose practices, while materially distinct, are compellingly complementary. Spanning a wide range of subjects and techniques, the exhibition reveals a shared commitment to process, material exploration, and layered storytelling. Themes of loss and discovery, decay and rebirth, accumulation and sustainability emerge through their diverse approaches, creating a dynamic dialogue across forms.
