McMurtrey Gallery presents the exhibition Sandi Seltzer Bryant: New Works. Opening Reception: Saturday, January 14, 6-8pm. On view January 14 - February 11, 2012.

Sandi Seltzer Bryant’s new paintings are influenced by her travels across Asia. Mrs. Bryant brings back with her a color culture influenced by the East through paint and collage. The artworks include handmade papers from Vietnam, hues inspired by China, and lines from patterns and fabrics worn across Asia. Sandi Seltzer Bryant utilizes subtle color and form to layer her composition and creates a visually intricate abstract portrait of the world around her.

Her work has been exhibited throughout Texas and California, New York, London, Paris and Korea. Ms. Bryant's artwork is in many private and public collections and has been featured in Art News, Houston Chronicle, and the Houston Woman Magazine.
