About the Item
McNellis's use of color is intense and uplifting, as are her thick, flowing lines, and the bold shapes they create. Recently, she has concentrated on clothing: she paints an item in tempera and then cuts it out, working according to the size of the original subject. Her attention to the detail in these garments is creative yet accurate: even in two dimensions she communicates a sense of space by reproducing, for example, the logos and tags along the inside of T-shirt necklines, or the rivets and stitches on a pair of jeans.
Born in 1957, McNellis grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. She is autistic, and attends Studio XI, which provides spaces to work, art, supplies, tools, equipment, and special technical assistance; their motto is to facilitate, rather than direct the creativity of their artists. While only her father, mother, and three sisters can understand her spoken language, her works on paper eloquently communicate her experiences, interests, and life.
McNellis has been with the Ricco/Maresca Gallery since 1992; in 2001 her solo show coincided with the publication of a full-color catalogue. Currently her work is included in Exhibit #4 at the Museum of Everything, presented at Selfridges in London, until October 25, 2011. McNellis's paintings have been exhibited at the Newark Museum, in Newark, NJ, the Arts Center of Henderson County, Hendersonville, NC, 2002, at The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, "Inside Out: 1970-2003," in Chicago, IL, 2004. She has had solo shows at the John F. Kennedy Center in Nashville, TN, in 1997, and at the Karsten Greve Galerie in Cologne, Germany, in 1993, as well as at the Ricco/Maresca Gallery in NYC.
