Black Maria Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition, “get the lead out”, featuring artist sketches, pen & ink drawings, watercolor and some sculpture. “Great art comes from deep in the depths of one’s imagination. This exhibition is about showcasing those ‘deep thoughts’ as they are sketched out on paper before becoming a final work.”

This exhibition will give light to the artists’ process. Gallery goers will be privy to seeing how a finish painting, illustration or sculpture is born and develops. According to Error! Contact not defined., the gallery director, “Seeing how a finished work comes together will give the viewer a greater appreciation of how an artist creates. Making art and the artistic process more accessible and tangible to the public is something that the gallery is deeply committed to.”

Ally Takeuchi is the creator and curator of the show. This is her second exhibition at the gallery. As the curator, Ally has arranged for a portion of the proceeds to go to Lunch For Life (www.lunchforlife.org), a charity that raises awareness and research dollars towards a cure for neuroblastoma pediatric cancer.
