On Saturday, September 13, 2018, bG Gallery presents “Skyways and Highways,” a solo exhibition by Gay Summer Rick. I love this artist…she has a distinctive painting style, using a palette knife (in place of a brush). Her paintings have a dreamlike quality which feature both urban, yet coastal impressions.

“I have always been inspired by the sea, and also have an unending love for the city, said the artist. “As loud as the city or the ocean may be, the light and atmosphere that comes through in my work is always quiet and calm. There’s something about the water, whether you can see it represented directly in my work or simply suggested in the atmosphere, I’m drawn to it.”

She is an environmentally responsible painter. She chooses to use oil paint and palette knives (No brushes, no toxic solvents) to create her work. “This process not only helps me tell a visual story through layers of paint that create history and vibration in the veils of color, it also helps me achieve a goal of being a good steward of the environment.”
