We are pleased to present “Continuum,” an exhibition by Illinois artist Mark Nash.  Join Mark on Saturday, September 3, from 3-5pm for the exhibit opening, comprised of thirty new paintings created especially for Anaba Tea Room. 

The recession forced Mark to reconsider his compensation options with a slowing real estate market.  Nash, a long-time Chicago broker, decided that his interest in art might be propagated in his free time while waiting out the housing recovery. Three years ago, this self-taught artist put brush to canvas.

Today, his art is sold at The Morning Glory Gallery located in the Marcus Performing Arts Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and online to collectors nationally and internationally. Nash didn’t stop with canvas; he has a line of note cards based on twenty-four of his most popular paintings with a focus on organic abstracts.  Card shops, art museum stores and direct-mail consumers make up the growing base of customers for Nash’s Gallery Greetings paper products which can be viewed on his website at http://www.gallery-worldwide.com/artist/Mark_Nash.html.

The show opens on Saturday, September 3, 2011, 3-5pm at Anaba Tea Room and will remain on view until Sunday, October 30, 2011.
