Last week! "Push It" at Art Now, NY

     I've had the pleasure of meeting Melissa McCaig-Welles many times over the years, first at her self-named gallery in Brooklyn and later at art fairs in Miami and New York. A good eye has she, leaning a bit towards the street/pop surreal side of things yet also showing works with a solid sense of design and composition as well as traditional painting skills.
     This show, "Push It," features 21 female artists from NY and California curated by Ms. McCaig-Welles. Mixed media, painting, and photography are the vehicles for the forty-two works in this show with an emphasis on urban or street art from ornate calligraphic messages to sketchbook work to full-on paintings to assemblages.
     There really is something here for everyone and it's the last week to catch it (hence the short post here, I want to get it up and out!) at Art Now, 548 W. 28th St, 2nd Flr, NY
