Spherical Paintings, Convex Paintings & Prints Carrie O’Coyle’s “bio-spheres” are convex and spherical paintings that explore time and memory, loneliness, family and loss. Only a third of the surface of these paintings may be viewed at one time, so the viewer must hold the memory of each part of the image in their mind in order to consider the work as a whole. O'Coyle began making these paintings 30 years ago at Penn State while studying with Kenneth Biddle. She currently teaches drawing, painting and applied design at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. |

Wild Life of Pennsylvania Coyle's artwork reflects her observations of local people, customs, and cultures. “Wild Life of Pennsylvania” humorously depicts a ritual of particular dress and behavior, based on her observations of motorcyclists throughout the region. The pieces exhibited in Art Alley include wall hangings of motorcycle mamas and hog-heads, made by applying acrylic to aluminum and masonite panels. |

Umbrella Figure Lamoree defines his work as "Social Surrealism," placing social commentary in a surreal context. His provocative artwork examines social and environmental issues such as pollution, religion, and politics. Lamoree states "I am concerned with man and his inequities; his self-destruction both morally and psychologically; and his fears, frustration and lonliness. I also am concerned with the forces that propel man to war and the devastating effects they have on the human psyche, as well as the environment." Through his work, Lamoree hopes to awaken society to its futile and destructive acts before it is too late. |
