F.W. Front Gallery
in Asheville, NC, Features Works by Diana Christian and Christina
Serra
The F.W. Front Gallery at Woolworth Walk in Asheville, NC, will present the exhibit, Nature Merging, featuring paintings by Diana Christian: Paintings and painting and felt art by Christina Serra, on view from Feb. 1 - 27, 2010.
Painter Diana Christian works predominantly with acrylic paint and adds realism to her work through shadows and detail. She nearly always paints from photographs a family member takes, which for her adds a personal connection to the piece.
Felt artist Christina Serra was first inspired to begin felting in 2007 after visiting the Animal Fiber Fair at the Agricultural Center. She says that "Needle felting is like painting a picture. I use carded and dyed wool fibers as my paint, and barbed needles as my brush." Serra creates colorful felt wall hangings often of nature scenes and figures ranging from people and animals to festive pumpkins and Christmas trees.
