Illumbra Art Gallery in Bakersville, NC, Features Exhibit Focused on Autumn Season

The Illumbra Art Gallery, located in downtown Bakersville, NC, is proud to present the exhibit, Autumn in the Mountains. The exhibition will open on Oct. 4 and continues through Nov. 12, 2005. 

This exhibition will showcase works by regional landscape artists with an emphasis on the fall season here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The brilliant colors, hues and textures of autumn are both a challenge and a thrill for artists to capture an image that is both original and also follows their unique vision of the season.  

Linda Cheek

A full range of styles and media such as oil, pastels, watercolor, acrylic, photography and mixed-media are represented. Plein-air artist Linda Cheek who works in both oil and pastels has an unusual mix of impressionistic and realist styles. Wendy Whitsons' mixed-media work is an explosion of harmonious colors and a rhythm of kinetic, visual movement in her shapes. Watercolorist Penny Johnson's work is different from most watercolorists in that her work is very strong and vivid. Pastelist Nancy Oppenheimer who is being featured in the Nov-Dec edition of Wildlife magazine will also be showing her work. 

Other equally talented artists using other mediums in the show are Jerry Cram, John Smith, Mary Vogel, Rolf Holmquist, David Trophia, Jann Welch, Anita Connelly, Vinita Stoddard, and to complete the list, E. W. Gibson.
