We will be here in the studio, enjoying the fascinating new works by these talented artists, and sipping on nothing finer than the champagne of beers, unless you consider Pabst Blue Ribbon to be finer than High Life…
We’ll also have a few snacks for you grazers of …finger foods, and of course, we serve up scintillating conversation, and laughs-a-plenty with the most talented and interesting people IN THE WORLD, right here in Birmingham, Alabama!

If you are the type to check out an artist’s website before the show, have I got a link for you! John Lytle Wilson has a lovely website with his artist statement, bio, and images of his legendary work: http://www.johnlytlewilson.com/

If you prefer to have your mind blown in person, you’ll be glad to know that Rebecca Davis is a secretive, private person who does not share anything on the internet. I bet you can’t wait to see what she has in store for you on October 1st!

Inspired by many areas of art study, Dréa  combines principles of both studio art and graphic design in her dynamic mixed media pieces. She often begins work with either a birch board panel or a chipboard panel. She attempts to translate the world around her, often literally, gathering scraps of paper with simplified shapes and handwritten text and incorporating them into her work. Her work shows a constant attempt to make a better connection with her surroundings. Her sketchy, rough style forms a sort of stream-of-consciousness dialogue that involves the viewer in her pursuit to connect the dots of daily life. She studied at Louisiana Tech University, receiving a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and Studio Art 2-D. She is a native of Louisiana and has made Birmingham her home since 2007.

Friday, March 26th from 5 – 8PM.

“On Friday the 26th we will be enjoying wine, beer, and light refreshments, while we admire Jonathan Purvis’ newest works on paper, here at Boutwell Recording Studios.”
