Artist Beth Cartland and gallery owner Susan Calloway

THE OPENING OF artist Beth Cartland's solo show - "Multiple Choices" -- at Susan Calloway Fine Arts in Georgetown in Washington, D.C., was held on Friday evening, May 14. The show features a group of abstract paintings that embody the process of painting and illustrates the decision making involved in creating a work of art. Through formal tropes - color, line, composition - the artist builds the surface of a painting by responding to her own actions and surrounding environment.
