Art opening at Gallery 912 tonight

deja.vu.painting.jpg Dialogue between artists manifests itself in all sorts of methods of expression. Take the show opening at The Frame Shop & Gallery 912 in the Oil Center tonight. Photographer John Fuselier, M.D. and painter Colleen McDaniel trade point and counterpoint in their interpretations of Louisiana’s flora and fauna. From cane and rice field to the teaming bird colony at Lake Martin, the pair have an artistic conversation that speaks of the sky, the deep rooted trees and the beauty that surrounds us in our swampy world. So venture beyond the galleries of downtown to the Oil Center. The reception will be held tonight from 6:30-8 p.m. at Gallery 912, 912 Coolidge Blvd. Call 235-2915 for more info.

Thanks for this lovely report on the show Mary!

You couldn't call me an impartial observer because the Gallery 912 is mine. However, this showing of Colleen's and John's wonderful creations which trumpet the extraordinary place we live in should be seen by all lovers of Acadiana. I encourage all to come in and relish these pieces of art by two artists who are totally in love with the nature of our region!

Thanks.
