Open Mic

Anne-Joelle Galley’s art is a true reflection of her personality -- her paintings and prints are fresh, radiant, colorful and full of life.

The honesty of Galley’s work has made it a hot commodity. She frequently exhibits in galleries throughout Houston and beyond, and her works also show up in gathering places, private collections and unique art spaces.

She is currently busy preparing for a group exhibit entitled “Capricious Curios” in May at Betz Gallery. An artist reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 19 at the gallery’s 1208 West Gray Street location.

She is also developing a new series entitled “Cities of the World,” which will mainly be created using her favorite painting technique, oil pastels on wood.

In April, her work was shown in the Houston Height’s popular First Saturday Arts Market and also was featured in the Spring Bluebonnet Wine and Cheese Trail. Her art was recently exhibited at Block 7 Wine Company, Roman Law Firm and Gateway Graphic.

Galley is a current member of The Art League of Houston, ISMA Estudio and The Visual Arts Alliance.
