I am excited to invite you to Barron Arts Center in Woodbridge, New Jersey for the opening reception of my solo show there, which will run throughout October. Many of you are familiar with my last two “Musings” shows at New Rochelle’s Lord and Andra Gallery. The new show is “Musings: Chapter 3” and will feature my completed Athena series (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter).

Please JOIN ME on Thursday, October 4th from 7pm-9pm for an opening reception. The Barron Arts Center is located at 582 Rahway Avenue in Woodbridge, NY (click here to find directions). The gallery is open Monday-Friday 11am-4pm, and Saturday-Sunday 2pm-4pm.

About Musings: Chapter 3
Marie Hines Cowan is a figurative oil painter who marries mythology with colloquial culture. Her work is narrative, life-sized, and representational, though unconstrained by realism. Willing to push color further than the average eye sees, Hines Cowan’s work is bold, colorful and painterly, but also graphic and illustrative.

Having first met Greek mythological personae in literary form in the early seventies, now Hines Cowan visualizes them on Manhattan street corners and finds her studio crowded with them and her paintings informed by their stories and tales. Her paintings have been called narratives, but perhaps conversations would be a better description.
