Past Exhbitions -- January 2002
Bryce Hammond: American Road Paintings
Scenes from old Florida and other areas of the United States are the
subject matter of Hammond's mixed media paintings. The imagery is based
on exteriors of roadside motels and interiors from his everyday life.
In 2001, he received an Individual Artist Fellowship from the State
of Florida specifically for this exhibition. The Arts Center welcomes
Bryce Hammond for his first exhibition in the Tampa Bay area.
