Jen Tough Gallery
The Heart Of It
942 Tyler Street
Benicia, California
February 09 – February 22, 2018.
Pressman’s vibrant, moody work explores transformation and movement, using vessels, windows, doors, and imagery relating to the inside/outside metaphor. In The Heart of It, Pressman turns inward, focusing on where the work comes from, “turning the outside noise down and tuning in to the inside.”

Working in series, she creates families of imagery that share thematic points of departure while generating individual works that are discrete and distinctive”
