Raw Inspiration: Mark Ashworth, an exhibition of works created between 2014 - 2025, opens in the Main Gallery this Fri, May 29, with an evening reception from 7 - 9 pm. Following the opening, gallery hours are Fri - Sat - Sun, 1 - 5 pm.

The exhibition features contemporary abstract paintings that capture a spontaneous and intuitive process with color, shapes, and lines. Ashworth notes, "My physical conversation with the canvas results in a fusion of stratum, primordial images, and random shapes, emphasizing the relationships between colors. Hints of botanical imagery and architecture add layers of depth to these modernism pieces."
