Collage and mixed media at DVAA

Posted

NARROWSBURG, NY — An exhibit of collage and mixed media by Jeffrey Parker opens with a reception on Saturday, March 21 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Delaware Arts Center’s Alliance Gallery. The exhibit will be on view through April 11.

“I find the medium of collage a versatile vehicle for artistic expression,” said Parker, who blends unconventional materials such as product packaging, advertising materials and junk mail with his own drawings and paintings to create three-dimensional mixed media works. “I enjoy the challenge of processing and transforming these mundane materials, giving them a new life as components in my creative experiments,” he said.

A medical doctor with a practice in Port Jervis, Parker was born in the Bronx and raised in New Jersey. At an early age, he developed a love for drawing and painting, but he was encouraged by his parents to pursue a more traditional career. He became a podiatrist but never entirely let go of his art ambitions, and picked them up again at the age of 40.

Alliance Gallery is located at the Delaware Arts Center at 37 Main St., and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit delawarevalleyartsalliance.org or call 845/252-7576.
