Join us at Gallery 1448 at the opening reception / garden party for Tasting Spring, an exhibition of works by Greg Fletcher and Leslie Schwing. Both artists have been creating artwork professionally for over 40 years. For the past 30 years, they have been sharing a studio and an art life at Artists Housing Inc. in Baltimore. Together they have developed and maintained the impressive gardens on the grounds of Artists Housing.
Fletcher and Schwing both often paint from life, then continue those works in-studio. Both artists range in subject and style from abstract to figurative to land- and cityscape, echoing the tempos and patterns of their cultural origins and experiences, as well as their influence on each other.
The show runs through May 26. There will be a closing reception on Sunday, May 26, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Admission is free. Gallery hours are Fridays & Saturdays, 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. and by appointment. Contact Leslie Schwing at 443-956-2459 or [email protected].
