Ellen Chong paints what strikes her fancy and finds results in colorful tangents of the imagination. For “Divergent Views,” she gathers an eclectic selection of images into a collective representation of her work. A camera collection, objects on her kitchen windowsill, local landscapes and general paraphernalia. Her work is embued with personality, humor and character culminating in a distinctive style.

Nina Koepcke asks the question, what does the viewer see when looking inward or outward and what lies in front or behind an image? How does one’s view mask or reveal the artists’ intentions?”  Drawing inspiration from African Makishi masks, she explores the idea of masquerading in a series of monotypes and ceramic works.

The divergent voices of these two dynamic artists culminate in a harmonious visual experience.
