The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Join two fantastic contemporary art exhibitions during the month of May. The North Gallery will feature We Speak in Color, featuring the Abstract Expressionist work of Heather Adamek and Jeffrey Fuchs. The South Gallery will feature a completely new body of work, Inventing People by Los Angeles transplant Michael Spence. The show will run from May 1st through May 31st. The Gallery is open from noon to 5:00 PM, Thursday through Sunday. 

We Speak in Color is a celebration of abstract expressionist painting that began in America after World War II with painters like Joan Mitchell, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock and continues strong today. The artwork in We Speak in Color is non-representational, spontaneous, and emotional art, using oil and acrylic paint, color and bold mark marking to convey the artists’ inner worlds. 

Inventing People is a show of new paintings by Michael Spence that uses a familiar palette of bold colors and loose, improvisational brushwork to paint figures who are made up, conjured often from bits and pieces of memory, imagination, or photos from various sources, including the internet, magazines, and family photos.
