Relationships Art Show
May 3-26, 2013 ~ Twentynine Palms Art Gallery
The relationship between Helen Hayes, Patrice Cooley, Ed Keesling and John Fisher has been forged over many years, participating in and teaching for the California Arts Project at Cal State San Bernardino. Their combined teaching experience represents over 100 years in Visual Art High School and Elementary classrooms. Much of what they teach grows from their knowledge and experience as practicing professional artists.
Through their exploration of interpersonal, natural, and artistic design relationships the artists have created an intriguing array of individual works of art, that are as different as the media they use, yet as similar as the aesthetic values expressed through the use of the elements and principals of art. The beauty of this Relationships group show is found in the variety of expression and unity of thought.
