“Secrets Never Told” (acrylic and ink on paper), by Deb Mell, in a group show through July 17 at the Berta Walker Gallery, Provincetown, Mass.

The gallery says:

“Deb Mell’s paintings and sculpture surprise at every turn, incorporating fantastic creatures, imaginative figures, beads, snake skins, feathers secured from hunters, metals and recycled material. ‘There is

nothing I won’t use. I think of the stuff I use as ‘my palette’’.

"Mell’s art defies easy categorization, much as did the now-famous ‘Chicago Hairy Who’ artists”.
