Harry’s Roadhouse Art
(cont from page 8.)

   He’s right to be optimistic in terms of his success. This work is all of six months old. He has done graphic design logos for an airline and a software company. He has prospects with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater for their new logo. Geoffrey also will have his work hung in the Gallery at Lincoln Center in New York City.

   The other artist featured by Harry’s was Jacinta Stewart, a vibrant personality from Australia. She met Geoffrey through a friend at a SoHo gallery and was recommended to Una for this show.
   "Jacinta's personality just popped out of her website, and I just loved her work," said Una.
   She had not planned to stay in the States as long as she did but the success of her work and the opportunities that have arisen kept her here. Her work displays a love for life and a promise of love and protection. There is an obvious theme of female angels in her work. She uses heavy appliqués of acrylic paints covered in a glaze to heighten that celestial feeling. Her angels display exaggerated features, giving it a more generic look that is appealing to a broader audience.

Stewart and her artwork

   She is, like I said, the embodiment of her work. She is carefree and child-like. Her playful personality allows her to pull off big red and black angel wings.
