Matt Wolcott received his BFA from The Ohio State University and has been working as a visual artist in Ohio, currently living in Maumee. His strong sense of design and color makes his vibrant abstracts jump off the canvas with artistic motion and rhythm. He works mainly in oil on canvas but also does think oil paintings on paper.

Sherrie Gallerie
694 N High Street

Sherrie Gallerie will be featuring Textured Edge by Leah Wong through October 5.

Drawing and traditional Chinese paper-cuts have merged organically in Leah’s contemporary art-making. The lines of drawing and cutting communicate naturally into one form in her work. The combination of drawing and cutting induces a sense of movement and energy. She explores the elements of volume, void, the gestures of hand on paper, light and shadow to transform and create new visual possibilities. The open-ended activity creates a conversation between lines and space.
