The Trail’s End Art Association Gallery will open a new show in May featuring works created by five member artists with acrylic paints. There will be a reception for the artists on May 3, during the Gearhart Art Walk, 2-5 pm. This show will be open Fridays–Sundays, 11am–3 pm from May 2nd – June 1st. The five artists are: 
Anne Cullivan began her art style exploration about five years ago with watercolors and moved onto fluid acrylic paints a few years later. The ocean and beach have been a major source of inspiration for many of her designs, which includes painting on a variety of surfaces.
Tj Lev began painting later in life after she became overwhelmed with an urge to paint. Typically using acrylics; her art is whimsical, colorful, and fun. With no formal art training, she paints by instinct. For Tj, color creates energy, conveying happiness and joy. Color is magical! She is often inspired by something small-- a shadow or a reflection--all spiced up by her lively imagination and wacky sense of humor.
 Mary Schlunegger has had a lifelong passion for all art forms. She paints primarily with acrylics but loves to experiment with color and texture in mixed media and fiber art, mixing techniques with different unexpected materials using the art skills learned throughout her life.
​Sherise Smith is passionate about all things art and works in acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. She will be showing pieces from her "Croatian Love" series, inspired by her time spent in Croatia last summer, along with some of her other work.
 Phyllis Taylor, a retired graphic designer/illustrator, loves acrylics. Yes, they dry very quickly but she works with one color at a time in a small area while the paint is still wet. It’s the reverse of watercolor in terms of building color on the canvas and that’s a fun challenge.
