"Recently, I've been developing a new style: neo-biomorphic abstraction. The concept here is to take the sensual organic forms
that repeat themselves naturally in my art and construct fantastic worlds from them. Small watercolor drawings are often used
as a base image for the larger acrylic paintings. Eventually the paintings take on a life of their own
and evolve into fleshy abstractions reminiscent of living things. Continued here

Art Twisted Together
  by Joe Nolan

"For this month's First Saturday Art Crawl, Twist welcomes a
prodigal daughter with a brand new perspective and a perpetual
wanderer who has trouble shaking off the memories of his travels.
In Twist's 58 Arcade Space, John Dowell's I Want to Capture
Your City brings horizons from around the country to our own
Nashville skyline with evocative photographs of cityscapes from
Houston to Norfolk. Former Nashvillian Shana Kohnstamm fills
the 73 Arcade Space with her newly inspired abstracts, exploring
the meeting ground of the organic, the exotic and the erotic.
Kohnstamm was an active pioneer in the construction of the
downtown art scene, and Growing Season marks a strong, new
vision in her work. The Twist event will serve as a sort of
homecoming for this hometown fave."
