Garden Delight by Michelle Muldrow

Brilliantly gorgeous Tuesday greetings, collector friends! I've officially got spring fever, with thoughts of beach houses, lazy days and ocean breezes making it hard to focus on matters at hand. It's not as if retraining my focus is much of a chore, though, seeing as how I have the best job in the world. I work with an amazingly talented, ever-widening circle of people and spend my days surrounded by the art that many of them make.

Michelle Muldrow is a recent and most welcome addition to our benevolent ecosystem. Cathedrals of Desire, her solo exhibition at Jen Bekman Gallery, was heralded with Icon, her first 20x200 print. A few Fridays ago, we celebrated its debut with a warm and wonderful opening reception that included many far-flung members of her charming clan. Today, I exhort you to go see her gorgeous paintings in person before the show closes on Sunday, June 5th and offer up her second 20x200 edition, Garden Delight.

For more background on Michelle's work, check out the newsletter I wrote introducing Icon. For further incentive to make your way to 6 Spring Street to see Michelle's original paintings, I'll leave you with some installation shots of the exhibition and a few words from our gallery's Director, Jeffrey Teuton:

The large size works really allow you to be surrounded and fall in to the image, experiencing the work in a way that does not translate to the screen. Gallery visitors really have a strong reaction to them in person; most everyone spends a great deal of time with them. It is really magical to watch people engage with Michelle's paintings, and I want everyone to have that experience.
