This event has ended.

Lisa Pressman believes her paintings embody a visual synthesis of stored memory - a metaphorical representation of the passage between human vibrancy and entropy.

The exhibition will mark Lisa’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The public is invited to join Ms. Pressman and gallery director, Tracy Causey-Jeffery at an opening reception on Friday, Nov. 13th from 6 - 8 p.m. - an appropriate choice of date for an exhibition that in Ms. Pressman’s words “sees to realize a direction connection between travel, observing the transience of images and time and the passing of my 99-year-old mom. The last week of her life she kept saying there is the train, there is the bus…a riverboat. The imagery abstracted, modes of transport frozen in time and space.”

Lisa Pressman, an American abstract painter, was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1958. She earned her BA in Art from Douglass College, Rutgers University and her MFA from Bard College.

Lisa’s paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the USA and internationally including The Hunterdon Museum of Art, Clinton, NJ, The New Jersey State Museum, Trenton, NJ, Butters Gallery, Portland, OR, Susan Eley Fine Arts, NY, NY, Causey Contemporary, NY,NY, Rosenfeld Gallery, Philadelphia, PA, Therese A. Maloney Art Gallery, College of Saint Elizabeth, Morristown, NJ, Pallazo Dell’Annunziata, Matera, Italy, The Cape Cod Museum of Art, MA, Western Carolina State University Museum, NC, and R&F Gallery, Kingston, NY.
