Mixology art exhibit launch

by Amanda Bedgood

Artists unveil newest work in the Oil Center

Two artist. Two collections driven by something within. Jill Tauzin Broussard and Missy Cannon launch their Soul2Soul exhibit at Mixology Interiors & Art tonight and curator Johanna Villarreal promises their work won't disappoint.

"These two fabulous well-known and well-loved artists have come together to launch their Soul2Soul exhibit here at Mixology Interiors & Art," Johanna says. "You will be struck by their great talent, Jill for her ever expanding style and her continuous mastery of it so evident. Missy you will see a vast variety of styles," Johanna says pointing to Missy's background.

"Missy is most famous for Flowers to Paintings, but she is a student of Elmore Morgan and that says everything."

According to Missy, the personal journey through the elements (wind, water, fire and earth) has been a life changing one.

"Finding my truth and having the courage to express my truth in my art has become a reality for me ..." she says in her artist's statement.

For Jill, too, the work comes from more than merely her paintbrush.

"It is not what I do; it is who I am ... in painting, I am most inspired by nature and the human figure. My work is abstract and minimal as I am trying to capture the essence of the subject, not a literal interpretation."

The show opens with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight with wine and cheese and their work will be available for some time at the shop in Oil Center Gardens.
