Building hours are Monday - Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Saturday: 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The paintings on display represent a new direction for Spartanburg, South Carolina artist Jane Nodine. These colorful and dynamic works offer a sense of optimism as felt by the artist in the advent of a new year. In Nodine’s latest work you will see paint floating in more paint. Color competing for more space. Form and flection taking hold of the overall composition.

“Since the pandemic began, I have been driven to develop works that bring joy over doom. I have a keen interest in color and how it can soothe or agitate, calm or excite. I often use dynamic color combinations with juxtapositions or overlapping to create elements that pop or peek out from under the layers. Those layers of color are made with heavy bodied and thinned paints to build a surface that draws the viewer into the work to explore spatial anomalies that often shift according to the ambient light and vantage point.” Jane Nodine 2022
