Opening Reception Friday Dec. 14, 5-7pm, for “Demarcation” exhibit-artwork by Pamela Flynn

The exhibiting of this work at Jed Williams Studio is a step by Pamela Flynn to bring her work directly to the community, as opposed to having it confined in the white cubes of the gallery districts in our cities.

Flynn addresses the charged issue of immigration with images that are at times subtle and at times blunt and to the point. Pamela Flynn’s work can be seen on her website www.pamelaflynnart.com
