Chinese Zodiac

1 October 2009 - 31 October 2009
Reception: Oct 9th from 6 to 8pm

MacCombie uses richly applied watercolor and gouache to create sumptuous and lively images of flora and fauna. Her large portrait like paintings of animals seem like snap shots of creatures personified: the subject caught in the moment of a flash bulb bursting, but before the light's startling effect is realized. Her flowers lay in bright, delicate forms across soft paper, intricate and absent of pretense. MacCombie’s images are strong and elegant with dramatic and warm contrasts and a lively nature all their own. Turi has illustrated numerous children’s books. She lives and paints in western Massachusetts.
