Susan McGrew's paintings focus intently on surfaces, examining water and wood as planes of action and color. They dance with the glitter of the running stream and the flicker of the leaves. Often the background, mid-ground and front merge as the same space; flat, yet delicate and sparkling. McGrew studies and renders images of the same location for several years, allowing the viewer to explore the Tennessee woods through her eyes. McGrew focuses on the Fiery Gizzard River area, which is part of the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. When she began this body of work, McGrew painted the water only, but has since begun an exploration of the surrounding wooded areas as well. With this newer work, McGrew is partnering with The Friends of the South Cumberland State Recreation Area to bring attention to Tennessee's largest wilderness park. The region she paints sits within this 16,000 acre park, home of old-growth forest and nearly one-third of Tennessee's indigenous plants.

Artist's Reception: Friday, November 6, 6:00-8:00pm. This reception, sponsored by the artist, is free and open to the public.
