Jean Wolff Exhibit
March 1st-May 23rd, 2012
Jean Wolff’s collages hold a deep resonance and power through her juxtaposition of organic materials and geometric hard edges and her use of sumptuous complementary colors and dark tones. Her work has been exhibited across the country to enthusiastic reception, as people respond to the different dimensions of her collages, the portals and layers which seem to move in and out of space.
