miniMAC is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Melissa Dold and Anne Petty created as part of their partnership, Yardwork Artist Collective. Dold and Petty discover ways to bring collaboration and experimentation into their art practices through their mutual appreciation for the environment and landscape painting. Each painting is exchanged back and forth between the two artists until they determine that it is resolved. “Working collaboratively breaks old habits and challenges us to rethink our instincts by seeing the work through another’s eyes. It brings dialogue and interaction into a traditionally solitary craft”.
Melissa Dold and Anne Petty share the beauty of the natural world through their work, as well as use the collaborative work to help in the fight against climate change. A percentage of the proceeds is donated to organizations in support of the environment.
Yardwork is open to commissions based around landscapes meaningful to the buyer.
Please reach out to Yardwork via instagram with your inquiry.
