Patricia Aaron of Greenwood Village, Best of Show winner in last year’s Heritage Fine Arts’ “This is Colorado” show for “Youngstown, circa 1964,” is exhibiting recent paintings in a show called “Honest Work” at Spark Gallery in Denver March 1-25.
She grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, which was a bustling place in the 1960s. “I remember looking at the night sky over the steel mills with wonder,” she said. “Stimulated by my deep roots in the American Midwest, I painted abstract, colorful images of armatures of aging steel mills, rusted-out car shells, abandoned and boarded jazz clubs and billboards layered with faded images of Motor City cars and cigarettes.”
