A new exhibit, “Limitless,” is now open at Norcross Gallery & Studios. Featuring varied pieces, thoughtfully selected by judge David Paul Jackson, the show opened February 13 and will continue through March 22. A reception will be held on Sunday, March 2 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Some outstanding works included in the show are Anne Labaire’s lovely sculpture titled “Dreamers,” inspired by a quote from Van Gogh “I don’t know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.”

Kathy Collins shared that her lively acrylic painting, “Traveler,” began as “Ode to 2024,” created with quick, angry strokes, which were subsequently carved into as the painting process had a cathartic effect. The intent and effect was to create a sense of traveling through the year and across the canvas.

Wil Grewe Mullins, a noted experimental photographer, has added another fascinating abstract photograph to his body of work, which leaves viewers wondering ‘How does he do that? What is the subject?’

The title, “Inferno” describes the piece well color-wise, though Mullins’ thoughts may be something else entirely.

Terry Stone chose an unusual predominant color for his abstract “Lucania.” What isn’t unusual for him is the finished work — an excellent abstract-designed painting.
