FIVE: featuring artwork of five local women abstract artists Becca Day, Tara Kelley-Cruz, Valerie Lloyd, Jes Moran and Diane Reeves.

Work shown in this exhibit has been inspired by five historically important abstract expressionist female artists including Grace Hartigan, Lee Krasner, Elaine De Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell who were a part of the famous 9th Street Art Exhibition in 1951 in New York City.

This exhibit was a key moment in art history that truly embraced both abstract expressionism and the work of women artists.

In homage to these women, Surface Gallery is proud to present local work that commemorates both them and their importance to women in the art world.
