Liberated Figuratively
This solo show at the Fisher/Wall Gallery contained 15 of my works across the spectrum of 2D media including paintings, drawings and photography. At the heart of the exhibit is the female figure, its beautiful forms, tones, and textures revealed by the light cast in both contrived and natural settings. The works evoke the viewer's appreciation for the visual subtlety and complexity of the human form as well as a psychological response to the posture, expression and narrative composition of each piece. October 5 - November 9.

The Human Body, Reconsidered
BY Hunter Kissel /Arts UnderMain, September 2017
....Spinney’s conceptual premise is dwarfed by the artist’s application of paint as well as the vividness of nudes by Beck, Chris Corson, and Martha Gaustad in the same gallery.
