Davidson County Community College in
Lexington, NC, Offers Group Exhibit
Davidson County Community College in Lexington,
NC, is presenting the exhibit Expressions of Style, featuring
a group offering of works by 12 regional artists, on view through
May 13, 2011. The 108-piece exhibit is on view in the Mendenhall
Building on the Davidson Campus. The show includes paintings,
photography, fused glass art, woodturnings and drawings.
Jewel Baldwin of Charlotte, NC, displays watercolors that are
crisp and realistic. Her subject matter is eclectic, interesting
and reflects her love of travel.
Richard Siegel is also a watercolorist from Charlotte. His large,
vibrant watercolors portray the unique experience of painting
the great outdoors, experiencing the effects of sunlight and shadows.
Lexington artist Laura Poss exhibits her watercolors of nature
and landscapes which reveal the beauty of the environment.
Andrew Goliszek, also from Lexington, captures the beauty of nature
in his black and white photography. His work offers a great tonal
range, adding drama and richness.
Woodturner Glenn Mace of Mocksville, NC, uses gnarly wood to start
the process, which is almost immediately transformed when turned
on a lathe. Most of the turned wood vessels are highly lacquered
and have unique tops that accent their base.
Kure Beach, NC, artist Ginny Wagner has several traditional and
colorful watercolors in the show which depict North Carolina scenes
and landscapes.
Jack Hernon's large and boldly colorful abstract acrylic mixed
media paintings invoke a feeling of motion and excitement. The
Winston-Salem, NC, artist's images invite expansion of perception
in the minds of the viewers.
The art of Trena McNabb is a curious and elegant synthesis of
realism and imagination. Her paints of allegorical scenes are
in a distinctive style, multi-layered montage with brightly lighted,
realistically rendered, thematically related scenes and images.
McNabb is a resident of Bethania, NC.
Karen Dixon of Hoover, AL, exhibits her fused glass pieces, some
in the form of bowls and others free standing sculptures which
are inspired by nature. Kiln formed glass allows endless ways
to express the artist's creativity.
Erin Oliver of Mt. Airy, NC, portrays physical and psychological
landscape imagery by evoking natural and organic forms, using
colored pencil and watercolors. Color and self-expression are
important in Oliver's work.
Denton, NC, artist Anne Croom uses oils to create dramatic lights
and darks, bright colors, lost shadow and delicate accents. Her
style is painterly, with thick paint (impasto) on highlights.
Edna Wolf of Winston-Salem uses oil paint to capture the beauty
of the world around her.
