Confluence

Repeating bands of vibrant color weave through Paula Hite’s recent abstract acrylic paintings on paper. The view from her large studio windows led Hite to explore Nature as a metaphor for connection and community. A vital energy emerges in the intertwining organic forms inspired by interconnecting trees and shadows. These animated ribbons of color jostle, nudge, appear, merge, and disappear—inviting the viewer to enter into the painting’s flow in an act of confluence. Opening: Thursday, May 1, 5-7 pm.
