February 12 through May 10, 2010

Stretched Foundations brings together the works of three artists with varied approaches to their chosen mediums. A bold palette juxtaposed with somber hues is a hallmark of Lee Anthony’s works, crossing the art lines of outside, representational and cubism. Jon Haydn’s sculpture celebrates Earth and combines materials such as stones and fallen Ozark wood. As a painter and printmaker, Mary Shelton’s art imparts a subtle spiritual element, presented in a primary palette.

It showcases the engaging glimpses of familiar and unusual Arkansas sites and the writer’s often tantalizing cryptic messages, crammed onto half of a paper rectangle.
