    Art at the Main will feature the work of eclectic painter Janet Bondi. Titled, Exploration and Discovery, the exhibit includes Bondi's latest explorations in mixed media from acrylic and monotype to lace and glitter. The public is invited to meet the artist at a reception during Gallery Stroll, May 15, 6:00pm-9:00pm. Working in an expressive representational style to create a particular mood, Bondi draws her subjects from recalled memories of landscapes, still life, botanicals, and interior/exterior scenes. 'I love to experiment with materials to see what new discoveries I can make as I go along,' says Bondi. 'Frequently, I begin a painting with a thick ground of modeling paste, which enables me to move the subject around as I literally get a feeling for the placement of picture elements.' From this foundation, Bondi works in layers of color, sometimes incorporating oil pastel or watercolor crayons for fine, textured line work. Bondi is likely to use any material within reach if it 'will add to the effect I want to make. I find the less confined I am to a particular medium, the better I can invent and let my creative intuition make some decisions.' What's within reach may be anything from rice paper to hand picked flowers, that when combined with monotype printing, painting, or digital art, makes Bondi's uniquely personal statement. For this artist, the creative process doesn't end with the completion of the painting, but continues as the work informs or inspires each viewer.
