"Four Dimensions"

Featuring Works by
Elbert Baez, Marilyn O'Donnell,
Michael O'Donnell, and Claudia Rowland

June 7 - 29, 2025

June's four featured artists titled this exhibit "Four Dimensions" to signify the diverse perspectives shown in their art.

Photographer Elbert Baez has developed a great passion for photography of all genres in recent years. He gains a great sense of satisfaction from traveling domestically and internationally multiple times a year to view the world through his camera lens. His creative approach is to capture scenes that will inspire viewers to experience them in person as well.

According to fine art painter Marilyn O’Donnell, "I enjoy making abstract art because I often find hidden images, even after the painting is done. This pareidolia is a visual trick of the mind. Rorschach’s famous inkblots were used by psychiatrists to help unlock information hidden in a person's subconscious, and some viewers might think that's what's going on here. It's possible! My process begins with marking out the page using colors, playing against each other, then filling in the areas between the intersecting lines. I am interested in the push and pull effect of colors, shapes and lines."

Fine art painter Michael O’Donnell says that he once read a statement by the late abstract expressionist painter, Robert Motherwell, where he was bemoaning the general absence of linear elements in nonobjective painting, and this piqued his imagination. His natural drawing style leans towards draftsmanship so he jumped on board and has been exploring what he considers to be a soft geometry.

According to fine arts painter Claudia Rowland, "My work is inspired and motivated by moments of awe in nature. The scenes evolve from memory, and the image emerges as I go. I am a physical painter and expressive somatic movement is a fine tuning fork I employ to immerse myself in the paint. I work on numerous paintings at once."
