Conn Gallery in Landrum, SC, Features Group Exhibition
Conn Gallery in Landrum, SC, is hosting the exhibition Of Color and Composition through Jan. 24, 2003. The exhibit includes works by Betty Clark, Tony Dileo, Greg Fidler and Marie Hudson.
Betty Clark is a working artist who paints on paper and canvas. She has maintained a private studio since 1983 and is currently located in Asheville, NC. Clark graduated from Georgia State University with honors and then relocated to NC. Her abstract pieces are exhibited in group shows through out the southeast, and she's had several solo exhibitions, including at the Asheville Art Museum and Fay Gold Gallery in Atlanta, GA. Her work is in collections across the US, both private and Corporate.
Tony Dileo, born in Chicago, moved with his family to SC in 1965. Dileo graduated from the Atlanta College of Art in 1981 with honors; his work, wood sculpture, was exhibited over the next decade from Atlanta to as far away as Japan. During the nineties he focused on family and marriage, continuing with shows throughout the southeast. Dileo's sculptures are created by using multiple axis woodturners, then he goes back and carves the surfaces to produce a texture. He then paints the pieces, layering the pigment in thin layers similar to Chinese lacquering techniques. They are beautiful, eccentric pieces - some large, some small.
Greg Fidler was born in 1970 and raised in Catawba Valley, NC. He attended Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire, receiving a BS in anthropology. After working for glass artists over the next few years, from Maine to Seattle, he took classes at Penland, NC; Pilchuck in Seattle, and Haystack in Deer Isle, Maine. Graduate studies at the University of Illinois produced an MFA in glass sculpture. He now resides at Penland as a resident, and will be there for a total of three years.
Marie Hudson works out of a studio in the River district in Asheville, NC. She is a former business woman who returned to school to pursue a lifetime interest in art. Hudson attended Warren Wilson College from '79 to '82, then went on to graduate level painting at the Independent Study Art Research Studios, which she helped establish. Hudson's work has hung in group and solo exhibitions throughout the southeast, as well as corporate collections.
