Join us for a guided gallery visit and curator talk at the Ashe & Norton Gallery, a new 150-square-foot art space in Glover Park. We’ll meet outside the gallery at 3 pm before heading in together for a guided tour of the current exhibition featuring the work of Monica Stroik.

About Monica Stroik:

Having explored a variety of media throughout her life, including silversmithing, batik, and fashion, Stroik currently focuses on painting and video. She works through the process of series, creating bodies of work that are ignited by ideas. She uses drawings, collages, personal photography, writing, and travel as the inspiration for her artwork. Within the medium of painting she explores the  use of color and the contrasting elements of line, shape, and movement and will incorporate the use of the wood panel surface as an integral synthesis of her ideas. Having grown up with a father and two brothers that are all architects, she has always been enveloped by the arrangement of physical spaces and their interaction with light,  shadow, and materials. ​She received her MFA in 2013 from the Mount Royal School of Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She currently has a studio at the Columbia Pike Artists Studios in Arlington, VA.

Given the limited space in the gallery, there is a 5-participant limit to this tour, and each attendee must RSVP seperately. Thank you so much!
