Helene Manzo Comes October 29 – November 23, 2013 with Singular Obsessions: Paintings and Monotypes to the Blue Mountain Gallery

In her solo show, Singular Obsessions, Helene Manzo visits and revisits subjects and themes that have long recurred in her paintings and prints. She continues to be inspired by the energy of the movement of water and the profusion of plant life. Manzo transforms those observations into evocative works that that contain dialogues between clarity and mystery, order and chaos.
