Opening Reception For Mary Vernon

"In the world of still life and landscape, conceptual events meet one another – the structural meets the narrative, the small stands in the space of the large, and color has a chance to navigate these meetings, changing everything. All my paintings show this shifting world." - Mary Vernon Valley House Gallery is pleased to present our fifth solo exhibition of paintings by Mary Vernon. Born in Southern New Mexico, educated at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, Vernon has served on the faculty of Southern Methodist University since 1967. She teaches painting and drawing, and SMU’s noted color theory course.
