Title: Ted Wassmer's Ninetieth Year: An Exhibition of Recent Works
Personal Creator: Ted Wassmer
Description: In celebrating his ninetieth year with an exhibition of new work, Ted Wassmer has perhaps inadvertently made his life as an artist look easy. Of course, it has not been. The standard disappointments, tragedies and heartache have been there. Ted's art is as conspicuous for what it is not as for what it is: it does not record the angst of an angry, distant world; it collectively reflects upon itself as a decision to embrace the positive. It is evidence of his choice as much as his circumstance. Exhibition held in the street Level Gallery space.

Title: Romey Stuckart: Paintings
Personal Creator: Romey Stuckart
Description: The panhandle of northern Idaho is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in North America. Sparsely populated, the small communities east of Sandpoint that border Lake Pend Oreille are backed by forests that stretch across the Cabinet and Selkirk mountains until they merge with the Canadian Rockies. To stand in these densely forested mountains, among the firs, pines, and birches, can be both moving and somewhat daunting. Here nature is wilderness. In 1987, when Romey Stuckart first moved to Hope, Idaho, her response as a painter was to adopt these woods as her subject matter. This exhibition of paintings from 1990 to 2002 acts as a record of her response to her chosen environment, as literal depiction of nature in paintings up to 1992 and then the shift to the organic, abstracted paintings that followed. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

Title: Deference to Deffebach
Personal Creator: Lee Deffebach
Description: The exhibition honors the legacy of Lee Deffebach (1928-2005), one of Utah's most talented artists. The exhibit features six paintings that provide ample evidence of Deffebach's originality, her unabashed love of color. As she expressed it, her abstract paintings were based on an intuitive and tactile experience that was only possible through an engagement with the painting process itself. In her view, the shapes and colors of nature seen and felt, do not emerge from a preconceived rendering of reality, but rather as a result of the integrity of the painting process, especially through spontaneous acts. Her depictions of nature are a metaphorical not literal. In this sense she adheres to Greenberg's insistence that Abstract Expressionism can only be a valid expression if it evolves "solely on its own terms." Exhibition held in the Projects Gallery space.
