MANDEM with the award-winning mixed media work, “Her Brother’s Keeper: Rupture” at the Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery (September 5, 2014)
“What an amazing honor and difficult task I had in selecting works of art for the Pinnacle exhibition at the Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery this year…. I was captivated by the artistic voices expressed in the works submitted for review. The body of work exhibits a broad spectrum of engaging subject matter skillfully arranged around a creative media palette that allows one’s eyes to repeatedly gaze and ponder the artist’s intent in their masterful balance of subject and technical style.”
“Her Brother’s Keeper: Rupture” is one of three mixed media works by MANDEM that were accepted to PINNACLE.
