Opening reception: Wednesday, April 2, 8 pm

Originally from Pittsburgh, Margery Amdur received her B.F.A. from Carnegie-Mellon University and her M.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Ms. Amdur has had over 50 solo and two-person exhibitions and has appeared in numerous group shows. Her international exhibitions include Turkey, Hungary, and England. The artist is the recipient of more than a dozen awards and grants. She has been reviewed in national and international publications including Sculpture Magazine and New Art Examiner. Additionally, several catalogs have been published about her work, including Seams to be Constructed.

Creating elegant connections through layers of abstracted sources, Amdur's small scale-work is colorful and complex. In her "4 Across 5 Down" series, "color pots" sit atop delicate line work and numbers, evoking paint by numbers whose instructions are discarded. The layers of paper, texture, daubs of color and wax create a soothing environment that invites a deeper look.
