Boston Globe correspondent Cate McQuaid reviewed Jon Imber’s “Painting Up A Storm,” on view now in the Chandler Gallery and Maud Morgan Arts.

“Jon Imber still paints. The artist, who was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in the fall of 2012, can no longer walk. He can’t hold a paintbrush as he once did. The disease took the use of his right hand — his painting hand — first, so he painted with his left. Lately, he has to brace the brush between both hands. He doesn’t move his failing arms to paint. He sways his entire body.” 

“Painting Up A Storm” runs through March 21st.

Jon’s work is also featured in the Portland Press Herald: www.pressherald.com/news/Learning_to_paint_anew_.html
