Lee Munsell, Pop- Up Gallery 608 Broadway St. Artist statement: “One event had a major impact on my direction as an artist. It probably has an influence on me. The Promise Keepers organi- zation held an event in Washington, DC. After attending that event, I had a chance to visit the National Gallery of Art, which was having an exhibit of the late 1800’s painter Thomas Moran. This introduced me to the Hudson River School painters, their spiritual views of the Creation and has become a whole new level of painting to seek to strive for. Since that time, I have concentrated primarily on the west coast for subject matter, taking several trips up through central and northern California, Washington, Oregon.” — Lee Munsell. The Pop-Up Studio and Gallery, is sponsored by the Gilbert Block Building and Fairweather Gallery. 11.
