Reflections on RAW

RAW Doug Cason Mark Greenwalt Lisa Qualls O’Kane Gallery University of Houston – Downtown August 27 – September 25, 2009 RAW is both exhibition title and theme, uniting the work of artists Lisa Qualls, Doug Cason, and Mark Greenwalt. As a writer, not an art critic, I offer a personal impression of the exhibit, not a review of technique. Although if provoking thought and stirring emotion in a viewer are some measure of an artist’s technique, Qualls, Cason, and Greenwalt each convince me of thei… Continue

Face Beneath the Face
