Works of Andrew Raeside starts today!

We are exciting to bring you pieces by Andrew Raeside. This show runs from August 3 – Sept. Originally scheduled to be at the Artisans Sanctuary we are happy to help out! Stop in to see Andrew’s mixed media pieces! All pieces are for sale.

“My current objective is to use abstract art to celebrate what connects us all
together. The New York School of Abstract expressionists is my primary influence. They
spoke about a collective unconscious, a concept held by psychologist Carl Jung. But
it is not necessary to believe in anything magical to understand that we are all connected
together because we all have shared experiences. And we all respond emotionally to our
experiences. When we look at a painting we respond emotionally to what we are seeing.
Even if the painting is completely abstract and makes no reference to anything in the
physical world. We may not be conscious of our reaction but if we are paying attention it
is there. My wish is to make paintings that celebrate these emotional interconnections
between us.”
