Peace and Harmony

Dolores Mitchell "The Three Graces"

The artists whose works hang in this space all have one thing in common: they desire peace. In this aspiration, we and they are identical. In other regards, we and they are very different. We come from different cities, different worlds, diverse positions, divergent points of view. Yet we all are here in this place, this space. We co-inhabit, we intermingle, we interact, interplay, intercept, interfere. We do so harmoniously.

There are many voices here, some loud, some soft, some high, some low. They are all present at the same time like some wonderful choral concert with the contrapuntal rhythms and oppositional attitudes that make a composition work.

There are as many differing expressions here as there are points of contact.

We wish we could live outside the gallery like these works live in it÷at peace in peace working for peace, harmoniously bringing beauty to our visitors.
