April 8 2017, Artist’s Reception, Parmelee and Limric Galleries
3:00 – 5:00 pm, Gatherum of Quiddities: Paintings by Pat Adams

At 3:00 p.m. Pat Adams greets visitors to her exhibition Gatherum of Quiddities: Paintings by Pat Adams in the Parmelee and Limric Galleries. Modernist abstract painter Pat Adams states the following about her art, “For sixty years I have approached painting with an empiricist’s concern for the nature of visual form and the intimist’s sensibility that addresses the layering complexity of being.  With abstract paintings characterized by seductive colors and richly encrusted surfaces, I seek to bring from my “gatherum of quiddities” – that stew of unnamed qualities – a visual situation that bestirs contemplation.”

A fully illustrated catalogue with essays will be available from the Museum Store in mid-May.
