The Mark Ford Galleries has two locations: Ford Fine Art in Delray Beach, Florida and Galeria Rancho Santana in Nicaragua which opened this year at the Pacific resort with the same name. The hotel and gallery have been written about in several international travel magazines.
After 3 years of extensive research, Suzanne Snider and Mark Ford will soon publish a substantial, bi-lingual book on Central American Modernism. Each of the 6 nations will have an essay and biographies of the leading Modernist artists. They continue collecting works from these important artists, some of which will be displayed in this exhibition.

Ashok Jain Gallery, currently located on the Lower East Side, opened its doors in New York City in 1980. The gallery's roots, however, stretch back to India when in 1936 my father, Ram Chand, established the first gallery in New Delhi, committed to promoting art in India and to helping struggling artists.

| Patricia Rieger, Expulcion He, Ceramic |
Patricia's artistic language is poetic: the animating materiality of the clay, and the methods through which she arrives at such compelling form. There is fluidity in the way she externalizes the internal dialogues of her practice and the life that it forms. She is passionately inventive and lyrically profound. Patricia's work is an art of color and shape and dynamism.
