February Artwalk with Artist Mels Smith

Barjon’s is pleased to host artist Mels Smith for December’s Downtown Holiday Stroll Artwalk reception.

Painting for over 30 years, Mels Smith often challenges boundaries in their art, gravitating to work on large canvas or edge to edge wall murals, collecting found materials to experiment with mediums and textures to create visual stories with depth and layers. In this collection, Mels explores tarot themes, in particular the growth and potential for what comes after disaster. Does the observer’s eye fall on the shadows, or what stretches in the rays of light that shine through?
