Blue Ridge Arts Center in Seneca, SC, Features Works by Jane Todd Butcher
The Blue Ridge Arts Council in Seneca, SC, will host works by award winning artist, Jane Todd Butcher. The exhibit entitled, Landshapes and Landscapes, includes collage and water media paintings through Oct. 29. The exhibit of approximately 40 contemporary impressionistic landscapes will also include a few works from the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating the evolution of the artist's current style.
Butcher, a Greenville, SC, area artist is not
a "watercolorist" in the traditional sense. Many of
her current works are created in a medium best described as "Water
Media Collage," but she also works in pastel, charcoal, acrylic,
and watercolor. These collage paintings are composed of Japanese
rice papers which she dyes and stains individually with inks or
acrylic paints. She then tears and cuts the papers into new shapes
and adheres layers of the papers to a support board or paper.
Some of the rice papers contain fibers which create a visible
texture. While her paintings are representational, they are not
photorealistic.
Butcher has been awarded signature membership in the Georgia Watercolor
Society and the South Carolina Watercolor Society. Her work is
exhibited nationally and included in numerous private end corporate
collections.
