“Painting a Place Where Art, Environment Collide”, Aspen Times Weekly
Allison Stewart says she entered the art world through the back door, and there’s truth in the statement. When Stewart began a master’s program in painting at the University of New Orleans, her prior exposure to the visual arts was through her undergraduate studies — in biology.

The work of Bosnian-born painter Amer Kobaslija, who lives in Florida, slips smoothly into the long-flowing Bay Area art current of intimate figuration.
“Mechanical Biota, Chromatic Scales”, New Orleans Art Review
THE WORKS OF Pard Morrison are poetically titled chromatic studies that mimic the layout of the ivories and ebonies of a keyboard. Sequences of colors and regular shapes define the rhythm and measure of compositions that could be used as an improvisational composition by a skilled jazz musician.

JOHN ALEXANDER grew up in Beaumont, in east Texas, birthplace of Big Oil. So his retrospective now on exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, featuring nearly 100 works from the past 30 years, represents something of a homecoming for the 62-year-old artist. Although he left Texas for New York City in 1979, Alexander’s work has always been informed by the years he spent exploring the swamps, bayous and industrial ghettos in and around Beaumont.
