Just in time for Spring!  The Birds & the Bees pairs painting by Jeff  Kapfer with elfin sculpture by Karen Woodward to create a waggish display at PHD Gallery.

On view are more than 24 of Kapfer’s clean edged, acrylic on canvas paintings ranging in size from one foot square to four feet by three feet.  Clustered around the brightly colored and tightly composed bird paintings are dozens of 1-2 inch high glass bees by artist Karen Woodward.  The interspersed bodies of work create a comical and playful dialogue and a humorous fantasy environment.

Jeff Kapfer earned a BFA from Webster University with an emphasis in graphic design.  He is currently the senior designer and art director for the new Vital Voice Magazine.   Karen Woodward earned her MFA in sculpture from Washington University.  She specializes in the creation of flameworked glass sculpture and is Chair of the Glass Department at the Craft Alliance Education Center in St. Louis.

In addition to her flameworked bees, Karen Woodward’s more complex narrative works, whose properties utilize humor to make social commentary, are featured in PHD’s Portfolio Gallery.
