VALISE Gallery’s August show features the sublime and beautiful paintings of Dot Cherch, Hita von Mende, and newest VALISE Gallery member, Tom Gross.

Dot Cherch says this about her work, “This is the most painting I’ve done since having a baby 2.5 years ago.  Striving for moments of joy while refusing complacency or apathy amidst all the sadness. The resistance needs creativity and swimming. My painting, “Quick Dip” is a nod to my mother, who’s a beautiful swimmer and lover of water.”

Tom Gross says, “These paintings respond to a sense of Place, and the nuanced gifts that are offered when I slow and quiet myself enough to be present.”

The Opening for “The Hita von Mende, Tom Gross, Dot Cherch show” is August 7th from 1 to 9 pm.  The show will continue through the month of August, Fridays and Saturdays 1 to 6 pm.
