Morning, I-70acrylic on panel, 24”x36”
$2,000

Working in a variety of mediums and subjects, her work focuses on visually representing sensory dynamics and visual minutiae to convey the intensity of precise moments in life. Morris is drawn to monotonous, repetitive visual elements, and strange, illogical visual situations, and her her work juxtaposes emptiness with chaos, calm with intensity to create meticulous, dreamlike, or irrational scenes that are based in reality but are slightly implausible. Morris holds a BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an MA from New York University.

Texture always plays a large part in my paintings, actual and visual; currently breaking into the picture plane and creating actual 3-D space on canvas.

conflicting ideas, and as a native U.S. Midwesterner, Cowardin

narratives are sometimes alarming, complex and layered, and
often ultimately tinged with yearning for a connection to the
past and a hope for the future. Mark Cowardin received an MFA

level of meaning. Her work demonstrates the subtle power of a very
discriminating veil of ambiguity in her vision. Her opalescent and often
shimmering light is set against a background of essential mystery. Her
imaginative eye produces work rich in textures, middle-tones, and darks,
which beautifully contain transcendent dream-like obliqueness. Her
imagery is similarly oblique and indirect, often seeking out the most
common objects seen in surprising and puzzling ways. This work is
unique and demanding of the imaginative participation of the viewer.

S-97Grandma LaytonLawrence, KS
Oma and Opal ithograph, 84/90, 25”x33”
$900
Elizabeth Layton, a native of Wellsville, Kansas began drawing in
1977 at the age of sixty-eight when she took a drawing class at a
local university. In class she learned to use the technique of “blind”
contour drawing in which the artist looks at the paper only for
points of reference, concentrating on the subject reflected in the
mirror rather than the line being drawn on the paper. Every day,
Layton worked at creating self-portraits that reflect her response
to contemporary social issues. That fall, a local newspaper reporter,
Don Lambert, was searching for an interesting subject for an article
and stumbled upon the class display at the college. Upon discover-
ing the drawings of this “old woman from small-town America,” Don
became her biggest fan – and promoter - and to this day continues
to tirelessly promote her drawings and her story.

and chaos are the framework upon which she builds her works.
