Press Release

Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to present Color, Form, and Light by Seattle artist Betty Merken. In this exhibition, the artist continues her pursuit of minimal forms in both painting and printmaking. Known for her color, Merken’s new work feels optimistic and fresh, springlike in its sheer tones of varying shades of pink, dove grey, yellow, and blue. This exhibition also features collages made from the artist’s prints.
