The Warner Gallery welcomes visitors to the O'Brien Arts Center, which opened to the public in October 2004 with an exhibition of 20th Century American masterworks from the Payson Collection. Each year, four visiting artist exhibitions are on view to the St. Andrew's community and the public in the Warner Gallery. Each exhibition opens with a reception and gallery talk by the artist.
For more information, please call Mr. John McGiff at 302/285-4215.

Paint On!
Anita Peghini-Raber
April 15 - May 7, 2011 (Artist Talk & Reception Friday, April 15 at 6:45 p.m.)
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I believe visual art is a strong nonverbal communication tool. It transcends the meaning of words. it expresses the unsaid. I am interested in creating mystery and mood conceived in color and found in the full expression of aggressive paint application. My joy is focused on sharing this collective consciousness in the here and now.

Light Passing

October 22 - November 19, 2010
ARTIST STATEMENT:
A chair left in the yard unattended, forms of trees reflected in a
Breton river, or a stalk of celery in a glass become memorable for me
because of the light, or the echo of a human presence. These experiences
feel like visual poetry. Painting is a way for me to join the mystery
of observed reality, the life of imagination and memory. The forms,
colors and shapes of intimate or deep spaces help me learn not just
about a cherished place, but about myself as well.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I begin much the way I would envision an author starts a piece of fiction. A character is born or a story line begins. If you listen carefully enough, the subject will help you to travel thru the entire journey. Whether it's a rusted piece of metal, branches from an oak tree, or a torn scrap of typography...the right juxtaposition can always find its way into one of my constructions. The more absurd the better. The end result happens when these various found or created elements come together to form a believable vision.
