Public reception – September 29
Katie Schultz: Finding Reality, curated by John Quatrale, at the Athan’s Café Art Gallery, is an exhibition of acrylic, pastel and watercolor paintings that challenges everyone to explore and search for “the benevolent spiritual nature of the universe.” Katie’s colorful dreamy paintings portray many images and reflections from our minds and eyes. They capture the deep connections between the material and non-material worlds that constantly collide and intersect for all of us. The artist challenges us to examine with her those links between “earth, humankind and the supernatural” as she searches for the reality that is all around us physically and spiritually.
