What's new at TRA

Fall is here again and no better time to change things around at TRA! We have a couple new artists with works in the gallery and also some fresh work by some of the regular gallery artists.

Mary Gillis is new to the group but you may have seen Mary's paintings before at District Arts Gallery (now closed). Mary has an extensive resume: schooled in ny and works in many corporate and private collections.

Her pieces consist of acrylic painted panels, metal, and glass in a combination of divided sections. The have a balanced contrast between abstract expressionism and cool minimalism. The fragmented windows are many times symbolic of nature like with her Great Lakes Series that reference the five Great Lakes of Michigan.

Also new to the gallery are these large black and white photographs mounted on foam core board by local artist Dennis Greaney. Each panel is 48x67" and are stunning in such a large format!

J. Thomas, an artist from Ohio makes ceramic vessels and wall hangings. Her new pieces have been very popular as an alternative than just a painting or print on the wall. Her sculptural, earthy designs would be great for a large blank wall above the fireplace!

Gallery artist Mark Wolak also has some new large panel abstractions. They can be hung vertical or horizontal or even left leaning against the wall.

Mary Rousseaux has this new encaustic piece in the front of the gallery. Made from a mix of wax, pigment and plaster on hollow wood doors this piece would compliment any office or lofty space.
