Above and Below at Spring Bull Studio & Gallery 

Spring Bull Gallery is honored to showcase the paintings of two renowned master pastel artists, Michele Poirier-Mozzone and Jacob Aguiar in “Above and Below” for the September Exhibition. 

For this exhibit, Michele’s pastel paintings are part of her Fractured Light Series, depicting the figure as it is distorted and bathed in turbulent water and sunlight. Ribbons of light draping the figure, bizarre distortions of form, skin tones of greens and blues and glistening bubbles are her inspiration. 

The exhibit is open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
