The landscapes and nature scenes of painter Jennifer Sowders are irresistibly tactile, filled with varying textures that seem to leap off the canvas.
Autumnal Light

Having grown up on a dead-end road in the countryside, the northwest Ohio-native spent a lot of her life studying nature, a quality evident in her artwork today. Currently living in Fostoria, Ohio, the artist creates her woodland impasto pieces with just a palette knife, acrylic paints and a silicone-tipped tool for intricate details in smaller areas, often leaving the canvas white from the start instead of blocking in her tones.

“A lot of what I do, I do to impair my natural desire to paint too realistically,” Sowders explains of her process. “Also, an impetus to not use a brush plays a big part. I often begin with a white ground so that it will force me to make more marks. More marks means more exciting texture. It forces me into the impressionism I love.”

Next Exit New York

Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
