Recently I enjoyed the pleasure of serving as a juror for an art show titled “Wild Wolves” that opened at the Madd Matters Gallery in Palmer last Saturday night, October 10, continuing through the end of the month. The show contains a varied mix of mediums from bronze sculpture, woodcut, to paintings in watercolor, acrylic and oil. Owner Pam Strahan and partner Gregory Gusse are on to something new for Palmer, monthly showings of original art following a theme. Most of the work is efforts by newly emerging artists and there are some very nice pieces. Pam discussed working in concert with other art venues across the valley to time openings so that patrons can progress from one show to another without missing an event due to a conflict with scheduling. I wish the staff and artists of Madd Matters every success in this new venture, many thanks for inviting me to participate.
