Margaret Davidson's Contemporary Drawing

Anchor Artist, Margaret Davidson has just released a book with Random House, Inc.  Contemporary Drawing: Key Concepts and Techniques is now available for your consumption.  You can find it HERE, to purchase through Amazon. 


In her book, Margaret discusses the surge of drawing in the art world and "delves into the essential and far-reaching concepts of this medium, exploring surface, mark, space, composition, scale, materials, and intentionality in turn."  Drawing, as something separate and unique from painting, is not subject to the same traditional thoughts as other forms of art.  Contemporary Drawing, offering a broad perspective on this field of art, is illustrated by a large number of contemporary artists, "Drawing has come of age."  Check it out!
(from Random House's Synopsis).


Congratulations to Margaret!

Bonus Round!

We were lucky enough to have a friend of the gallery come in and take photos of tinker, tailor, mender, maker.  They turned out really nice.  You might have seen them here, facebook, or on our website, but we thought we'd give it another turn in the spotlight.  They photos are beautiful, if you haven't had the chance to experience Gail Grinnell's work, hopefully they inspire your visit.  If you have seen the work, hopefully they inspire you to see it again...Through Saturday June 11th.








See you at Anchor!
