Presents
“Infinite Spaces of the Landscape and Still Life”
Paintings by St. Thomas Artist Frances M. Rutnik
November 15 through December 12, 2002
Alexander’s Café, Frenchtown, St. Thomas

Frances M. Rutnik’s show “Infinite Spaces of the Landscape and Still Life” reflects her intrigue with the endless possibilities that art possesses. Rutnik states, “One composition, no matter the subject, always leads to another. The process of making art always manages to turn my hours into minutes.” She currently has been exploring the serene, tranquil spaces of our landscape as well as the simplest of spaces created by objects in a still life. Equally fascinated by both compositions, she strives to transcend the viewer beyond the artwork, to a place where the essence of art itself may be experienced.
