Gordon Gray and Merry Gregg at STIIIZY

160 E. N Street, Benicia

Merry Gregg: “My early training in the art of designing with fabric taught me principles that carried over and became the foundation that led to a thirty-five-year career as a graphic production artist in the printing and publishing industry.

“I’m drawn to the feel of textural fabric, highly saturated colors, and bold graphics. When I’m working with acrylic paint and collage papers and fabric, I try not to think too much when I put down the first gestural marks. But let those marks inform what comes next. The feeling of not knowing what’s coming next is both intimidating and exhilarating. I hope that the result is work that leaves the viewer exclaiming, “I love how this painting makes me feel!” … that’s all…” — Merry Gregg. Read her entire bio and  artist statement.
