Patricia Kenny is part of a group exhibition, Twelve + One Women in Colour curated by Lucia De Marinis at Preston Square, 347 Preston Street, Ottawa.
Opening reception is January 29, 2019 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Curator’s note: “This show was inspired by “The Women of Abstract Expressionism”, held at the Denver Museum of Art in 2016 and the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2017. It motivated me to assemble the work of my painting mentorship students of the past decade, all of whom happen to be women. They are passionately devoted to the art of painting, each one manifesting a unique personal voice that reflects the visceral, tactile and colour-driven aspects of painting. All are graduates of the Ottawa School of Art Fine Arts Diploma Program.” – Lucia De Marinis
Patricia’s second current show is at the Blackburn Library, and is called Wilderness Within.
