May Work

Opening Reception: May 4, 2012, 4-6pm
Terri Saulin and Patricia S. Robertson
Society Hill Synagogue
418 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106

Please join Terri and Patricia for a Spring Show.
The exhibition will feature functional ceramic ware from Terri Saulin and abstract paintings from Patricia Robertson. Both artists invest great care in their small scale works, investigating new forms, colors and textures. These works are explorations in the potential of the materials and processes. The paintings and objects created are a physical library of marks and layers, documenting the evolution of past and present works and sow seeds for future explorations.
