While looking for
Art Hansen's work to blog about at
Davidson Gallery in Seattle, we stumbled across the work of
Ellen Heck. Heck's etchings recall
Mary Cassatt's palatte, subject, composition and rendering--somehow, without being simply derivative. There is very little tenderness in art today, yet Heck manages to portray lovely moments without becoming precious. As for the wonderful Mr.Hansen's work...stay tuned.
