Upcoming show at Dog Tired Studio and Gallery
Dog Tired Studio and Gallery 1011 Whitehead Street (corner of Whitehead and Julia ) (802)989-5910 is excited to begin this season with a show entitled “Ripplin’ Waters” by Rita Poore, and “Sea Punk” by Vernon Farris. The show features two Artists from different parts of the country. Rita from Rehoboth, Delaware, and Vernon Farris from San Francisco.
Rita Poore splits her time on our little Island and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, but has been coming here for years. Her work ranges from realism to absolute abstract. This show features her abstract work created with watercolor, acrylic, collage. When asked about her body of work for this show she replied, “Whether painting paper for collage pieces or pushing watercolor around on Yupo (a plastic painting surface), the ebb and flow of water creates the image and feel.” Rita says, “with every piece, there’s always water ripplin’ in some way.”
Vernon Farris, a native of southern CA, began creating art with his first box of crayons at the tender age of four. Fast forward to California State University at Long Beach where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. Shortly after graduation, Vernon took a job in the surf wear industry creating countless beach related pieces of art. Today, back to his passion, he imagines and produces a multitude of canvas paintings. The current collection, inspired by the ocean,
is named “Sea Punk.” Vernon creates an underwater world where robotic sea life swims through a rusty garden of metal objects.
So please help Dog Tired Studio and Gallery 1011 Whitehead and Julia (corner of Whitehead and Julia ) celebrate these two amazing Artist’s show their work in Key West for the very first time. The opening will be Friday December 2nd from 6 – 9. Rita will be in town to talk about her work and process, and we will be having some nice catered nibblies and beverages. Feel free to call the gallery for more information (802)989-5910.
