Born in Monroe, LA, acclaimed contemporary artist Meredith Pardue, takes a more self-referential course in her latest body of work and invites her audience on an inner journey that brings the artist’s act of painting itself to the foreground. While Pardue’s works are still grounded in her trademark abstract botanical forms and scenes derived from nature, the artist conveys a re-vitalized energy and excitement only found in the moment of creation. In her “Liberation Series” the artist strips away the confines of simple attraction and offers instead the explosive energy of the painted moment, and asks us to experience the moment of her creation.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through May 13.
