The University of Mary Washington Galleries is pleased to present Steve Griffin:  Recent Paintings, 2020-2022.  This exhibition features evocative abstract paintings by UMW Professor Emeritus Steve Griffin.  In the artist’s own words:  “When I was around six or seven years old I remember taking a bucket of water and a large house painting brush and spending hours painting the sidewalk in front of our house. Of course the water would evaporate very quickly and I would just start painting it again.  There is still some of that in every painting I make.”

The exhibition will be on view from September 8th to October 16th in Ridderhof Martin Gallery, with the opening reception taking place on September 8th from 5pm to 7pm.  There will also be an artist lecture at 5pm in Ridderhof Martin Gallery on September 15th.  Admission is always free.
