Are We There Yet? Opening Reception at Archway Gallery

Archway Gallery in Montrose presents an opening reception for Are We There Yet?, an exhibition featuring new paintings by Cookie Wells and wood furniture by Tom Wells.

The show profiles a journey of renewal of creativity, as well as the reinvention and metamorphosis of an artist.  Through this series of paintings, Cookie Wells reveals her journey on paper. She has focused on figures for most of her artistic career. Seeking change, Wells began painting non-objective abstracts, which strip away the details of familiar subject matter and challenge the artist to represent the emotion and essence of the experience. 

In conjunction with this exhibition of paintings, Thomas Wells' finely crafted wood furniture will be on exhibit. Some of these pieces continue the theme of integrating dark and light, linear and whimsy, form and function. 

There will be light bites and wine available, along with complimentary valet parking, during the event. The artist will be in attendance throughout the event and will speak at 6:30pm.

Are We There Yet? will be on view from Saturday, August 5 through Thursday, August 31, 2023.
