THE TOOMER GALLERY PRESENTS (Located within SooVAC):

New Works...
By Samantha French
February 14 – March 29 2008
OPENING RECEPTION:
Thursday, February 14th 5pm to 7pm


Samantha French’s paintings and mixed media drawings reflect a connection to the past and her own memories of life in Minnesota. Her new series focusing on bathers is her link to home and the continual search for the feeling of “sun on your face, warm summer days at the lake.” Shades of blue dominate her work as gestural figures in swimming attire represent memories of her past and a romanticized time far before hers with wool suits, dark eyeliner and bob haircuts.

French is a Minnesota native now living and working in New York. She graduated from Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2005. In 2006 she received an individual artist grant from the Five Wings Arts Council. This will be her first solo gallery exhibition in Minneapolis.

Soo Visual Arts Center’s main gallery will be closed in
February and March.
