Intersections: Artist Talk: Mary Weatherford with John Zurier

Artist Mary Weatherford, whose piece black painting was gifted to the museum, will discuss her work and process with contemporary California abstract painter John Zurier.

Mary Weatherford possesses a remarkable ability to overlap deep, sultry colors in abstract paintings that radiate light, energy and movement. Critics have praised the artist, born in 1963 in Ojai, Calif., for her achievements in layering vinyl-based acrylic paint known as Flashe, and for her distinctive use of deliberately draped neon lighting tubes that further electrify her symphonic, colored landscapes.
