She is one young and talented girl from Canada. She is currently having a show here in NYC at the Prince George Gallery on 27th Street(you must go!). You can also view her work <a href="http://www.jennykeithhughes.com/">here.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jenny and I met one random night out in NYC(2008), got to chatting about art and the business of showing your art. She invited me to her show at the time and because I went and stayed intouch, she helped me take the necessary steps in showing my own art. Thanks Jenny!!</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>A cluster of theoretical ideas lies behind abstract art. The idea of art for art's sake—that art should be purely about the creation of beautiful effects. The idea that art can or should be like music – that just as music is patterns of sound, art's effects should be created by pure patterns of form, colour and line. The idea, derived from the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, that the highest form of beauty lies not in the forms of the real world but in geometry. The idea that abstract art, to the extent that it does not represent the material world, can be seen to represent the spiritual. In general abstract art is seen as carrying a moral dimension, in that it can be seen to stand for virtues such as order, purity, simplicity and spirituality.</i></div>EMKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01329639780004267707noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804801449367632549.post-79354515893492437562010-09-12T23:27:00.000-04:002010-09-12T23:27:54.237-04:00Art Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnXddj677Kq_lPAMaIF91SjsNVnHprzZ11-36R5YX82rlROyRMiovZbCKPAETMZ_eR9dAg92-KprP6F_RLjswCApZrcpRfmsYZZmF3bz4EiOSBDJcVa39K81yc71cP_OEshhRL276oBz4/s1600/finalSTD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnXddj677Kq_lPAMaIF91SjsNVnHprzZ11-36R5YX82rlROyRMiovZbCKPAETMZ_eR9dAg92-KprP6F_RLjswCApZrcpRfmsYZZmF3bz4EiOSBDJcVa39K81yc71cP_OEshhRL276oBz4/s400/finalSTD.jpg" width="286" /></a></div>I'm having another art show.
