Under $2500 - A quick look

I dropped off my two entries at Maryland Art Place's Under $2500 exhibition and sale, and chatted for a while with hardworking MAP Exhibitions Director Caitlin Gill about Picts and Scotland and The Lillith.

I walked around the gallery and checked the works that had been delivered -- I have no idea who most of these artists are, but here are some of my top picks for the show.  If anyone knows the name, send me a note or leave a comment, so that they can get credit.

The below three pieces were my top picks for the show, so I asked Gill about them.  They are gorgeous works on reclaimed, repurposed solar panels.

This is good on several levels - not only because it is high quality, smart and intelligent art, but also re-employs discarded solar panels, which are the most toxic thing produced on planet Earth today when they are no longer of use and discarded.

The artist with this wonderful idea and superior artistic skills: Caitlin Gill.
