Continuing our annual show devoted to women artists, O’Hanlon Center for the Arts is committed to bringing more gender equity to the world of art. This 15th year we extend our reach around the globe to artists who identify as female and encourage them to submit to this popular ONLINE show..

Step from the water, and the colors will find us and follow.

Do not be startled by darker spaces, nor memory that grows hair.

Further in, the history of a face, a face behind a face. Stillness and recognition.

Remember, in a blink, before the eye was framed, we were all once little girls,

looking for patterns, sunlight, and embryos.

Pale gold inside the cells. Scratch that. See what the other strands reveal.

Still bound to the vertical, we dance on a floor that shines like a sky.

Now run from what’s wild toward what is wildly lush in our own nature.

Walk in the snow toward the mountain where the mind can change its mind.

New textures, and still traveling. What’s there? A scribble and a little rapture.

Hasten, before death steals the show, before the child loses her wings. Red always wins.

Listen, Joy is a feather, an old woman in a new dress, and the return of suspenders.

Ride into yellow. Ask the cats which way to go, go pick berries, rest.

In our profiles, we ask what were we really looking for?

Sometimes the colors were so gorgeous, we just lost ourselves. It was that simple.

 

O’Hanlon Center for the Arts thanks Donna & Suzanne for their time and selections

ABOUT THE JURORS

Donna Seager & Suzanne Gray

Donna Seager & Suzanne Gray are the owners and curators of one of the most prestigious galleries on the west coast, Seager Gray Gallery seagergray.com

A native of New Orleans, Donna Seager began in the art business in 1978. She was the director of Marlborough Gallery in Boston before moving to California in 1989. She continued to work in galleries in the bay area until 2005 when she opened her own gallery. Seager has distinguished herself for her discerning eye and commitment to the arts in her community. She has given lectures on the art of the book at international fairs in Miami and San Francisco. In six years, the gallery became a destination for artists and collectors all over the bay area.

Suzanne Gray, a resident of Mill Valley grew up in upstate New York and studied journalism and art history at Syracuse University and San Jose State. Her lifelong interest and background in art and art history landed her a position at Donna Seager Gallery where she became an integral part of the business and ultimately a valued partner. Gray’s skills extend themselves to professional art consultant services and she has overseen both commercial and residential art programs. Her knowledge of the art market, sophisticated eye and understanding of art placement have gained her the trust and respect of her clients.
