Providence Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Three Women
Providence Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is pleased to announce the 4th annual, Three-Woman Show, featuring new works by Laurie Richardson, Sheryl Stalnaker, and Dru Warmath. The three artists' paintings will be on view from Feb. 22 through Mar. 10, 2008.
Laurie Richardson graduated from the University of Georgia with a BFA in Graphic Design. Her career has included work as an art director, a free-lance designer, and teacher. Now a full-time painter, Richardson uses pastels and oils to express her favorite elements of art - color, and composition.
Richardson explains, "Color can express so many different moods and an unusual composition allows one to see the ordinary in an extraordinary way. To express without words a certain feeling is one of my greatest joys as an artist."
In her oil paintings, Sheryl Stalnaker explores
a wide range of subject matter including landscape, architecture,
and still life. Stalnaker prefers painting with a palette knife,
using this tool to achieve a rich, vibrant textural element in
her works. Stalnaker paints en plein air and in studio
in order to engage, all of her senses in the creation of her art.
A graduate of the University of Washington, Stalnaker's award-
winning paintings have been featured in prominent juried shows
including the Telfair Museum of Art Fair in Savannah, GA, and
the Piccolo Spoleto Exhibitions in Charleston, SC.
Dru Warmath received her education at the University
of South Carolina. She has garnered acclaim for her paintings
of the female figure. In these, intensely personal works painted
in oil and watermedia, Warmath seeks to reveal her search for
a mood or deeper emotion and establish a shared moment between
the observer and the artist.
In her work, Warmath's primary focus is the creation of vibrant
rhythms based on color relationships, evident throughout her carefully
executed compositions. Having worked as a professional artist
for the past fifteen years, she now shares her knowledge by teaching.
She has taught classes at the Mint Museum of Art and Queens College,
and offers private instruction at her studio in Charlotte. Honored
as a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, Warmath's
work is featured in numerous private and corporate collections.
