Three generations share a distinct passion for color. Erin, Karen and Don are Apprentice, Journeyman and Master. They each tell visual stories. The three artists contrast and complement each other. Paintings use line, color, free forms, and architecture, transforming these basics into emotional personal allegories. They are motivated by the foundations set by Matisse, Pollack, Rothko, Albers, Diebenkorn and Frankenthaler. Erin, Karen and Don have established their own statements. They bring visual joy for you to immerse yourself in. Commission or Purchase a powerful work
Inside the studio: Don Munson’s “Haiku” paintings speak to each other. References to Morse code and runic letterforms explore a new language of painting without boundaries.

With an eye always on the audience, Erin Reid’s newest drawings dare the viewer to piece together a persona from charismatic line in nondescript space.
“To Be Watched” and three more of Erin’s self-portraits are included in our “Small Works on Paper” show. See EKD Gallery’s very first exhibition at www.ekdgallery.com/shows
EKD Gallery’s first exhibition, “Small Works on Paper,” is officially open on www.ekdgallery.com/shows .
Join us for a special exhibition of work from Erin, Karen, and Don highlighting their unique approaches to the intimate scale on 11” x 14” paper.
Experience the threads of color that bind Don Munson’s geometric haikus, Karen Reid’s vigorous play on color, and Erin Reid’s ominous self portraits. The show will be on display from October 20th, 2020 - January 12, 2021.
“These works are outstanding in the rare combination of beauty and power, forceful use of paint and graceful skill in drawing with that paint to describe human form.”
- Elaine Smollin, artist and educator
