Brand X (MetroMix) cover Kathleen Lolley’s debut LA solo show…

The new issue of Brand X (formerly MetroMix) hit stands yesterday all over the LA area and within, they gave a full page of editorial to covering Kathleen Lolley‘s debut Los Angeles solo show, opening tomorrow night from 7-11PM @ Thinkspace.
“Her new body of work is a collection of intricately embellished wooden sculptures that bring a little bit of the country to the urban east-side environs. The richness and whimsy of these dreamscapes have helped her ascent in the art world.” – Brand X
