Artists & Makers Studios Welcomes
Roz Racanello and “Faces/Places”
Mini-Solo for Donté Watson

(Rockville, MD) – Artists & Makers Studios is pleased to host Roz Racanello for the month of May. The exhibit will run from April 29th through May 27th, with a First Friday opening on May 1st from 5-8pm. “Faces/Places” features the work of Roz Racanello. Using paints, pastels, metallic glazes, wax, crayon, and often more unconventional materials, over photo enlargements, often with overly large scale, there is a sense of flipping some part of the perspective in each piece, resulting in a kind of enhanced reality. The photographs are those that she has taken and then used to bring an inner vision forward. The viewer will see what she sees. There is no use of digital art effects or scanning, no reproductions of finished pieces, no multiple editions. Each completed piece is unique and hand-made, a one of a kind finished multimedia artwork. Donté Watson shares a mini-solo exhibit in the Lounge Gallery and Resident Artists exhibit in the Gallery Hall. Enjoy the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Pick up a handmade piece of art and support local working artists, makers, and professionals. Light fare generously sponsored each month by The Chesapeake Framing Company.
