The scarf wall alone will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling, perfect for chasing away the winter blues.

Allan Appt - Featured Artist Series August 8th, 2009

Alan has been painting most of his life. He had a studio and Exhibition Gallery on the second floor of the Adler Frame Bldg, 21st and Washington Avenue, for many years with several other Artists’.

He is an impressionist in oil. He feels as though he makes a significant statement with the sole use of palette knives, for the utmost freedom with a way that is both intense and dramatic. In his application he strives to be unregimented and maintain a purity of free expression. He indicates when he walks into his studio; he becomes transported to another place. His work is in many private collections around the country.

View his work in the SAM Main Gallery on August 8th, 2009 from 1pm until 5pm!
