After thirty years making art, Liz Maugans is taking an inventory of her life and transforming her experiences into new print-based collage work titled Beautiful Mess, opening this June at HEDGE Gallery. The most fascinating aspect of this exhibit is that Liz has used almost all repurposed materials to create her multilayered work. The abundance of printed remnants, or what […]

Unlike most people, I first knew of Douglas Max Utter as a writer. Flipping through the pages of Angle Magazine and the storied Free Times (both now sadly defunct), I became a Doug Utter “The Writer” fan girl.

Douglas Max Utter’s house on the hillside above Euclid Avenue in East Cleveland is filled with his steady output of painting and ideas.

Before the SUV ruled America’s highways, before Uber and Lyft threatened the primacy of the family car, there was the Road Trip. Not that anyone called it that back when the Joad clan were fleeing the Dust Bowl.

HEDGE Gallery is proud to present Dott von Schneider’s solo exhibition titled Road Trip, opening Friday, September 21, 5:00–9:00pm. Dott and I met in 2010, while she was living and working in Las Vegas.
