James Kalm has known the painter Lori Ellison for years, and has always respected her determination and stick-to-itiveness. Ellison is well regarded for her obsessively detailed pattern drawings, and paintings on panel. After sixteen years living and working within the New York, specifically Williamsburg Brooklyn art scene, the momentum of her career has increased. In fall of 2011 she and husband Lawrence Swan exhibited together at the Valentine Gallery in the burgeoning Bushwick/Ridgewood district, attracting critical and community praise. Despite the many years of engagement, this show at McKenzie Fine Art, represents the artist's solo debut. Includes an interviews with artist Lori Ellison, and an appearance by Jerry Saltz. Less
