Eclectic Eye presents “Year One” by Jill Samuels
Now showing until January 2, 2018
“Year One” is a collection of mixed-media pieces that utilize acrylic, watercolor, maps and embroidery thread in their creation. These pieces carry distinct, feminine material references, while dealing with the human experiences of chance, intuition, balance and control. This collection of abstract pieces evokes nuanced responses that are clear, emotional and reflective.
