Hope and Feathers Framing is excited to host a flash show of Isabel Margolin’s previously shown work. These pieces are priced at reduced costs and will only be available for a brief time. Be sure to stop in and see the glimmering colorful display of fanciful mosaics before they are gone in a flash.

About Isabel Margolin:
In the spring of 2009, I began to make mosaics choosing to work in the indirect method, a technique that I have employed ever since. For the indirect method, I place my materials face-side-down on sticky paper, not knowing the final results of my design until I turn the piece over into a bed of cement. Through a certain controlled randomness, a willingness to cede one’s expectations to gravitational forces, and the power of sticky tape I apply the indirect technique to expand the boundaries of this art form. This is a process of chance, choice, and discovery. 

As a practicing artist for the last 50 years, I have I have covered a lot of different mediums.  Oils, printmaking, stained glass, sumi-e, suminagashi, paper marbling, and paper-making.  For the last 20 years, I have worked mostly in watercolor.  My newest work is watercolor portraits.  It is my intention to create a portrait, not for the sake of representing a likeness, but to intrigue and interest the viewer to want to know more about the person.  What are they doing?  What are they thinking? It is my hope that the viewer will be inspired to create a story in their mind to go with the portrait; that it will resonate with their own life experience in some way.

The exhibition opens July 6th, and can be viewed Monday – Friday 10-6 pm, Thursday 10-8 pm and Saturday 10-4 pm until July 31st
