Civic & Cultural Arts Center of Pineville, NC, Features Works by Han Cashion, Lambeth Marshall, and Kathy Oda

The Civic & Cultural Arts Center of Pineville, NC, will present the exhibit, Journey Home, featuring works by Han Cashion, with guest artists, Lambeth Marshall, and Kathy Oda, on view from Mar. 9 through Apr. 10, 2010.

Han Cashion

Han Cashion is a Korean-born painter who's richly colored abstract works reflects Nature and the inner strength of spirituality. Journey Home, a series of oil paintings on paper depicts a spiritual voyage of healing to see the beauty and love residing beyond and yet within all things.

Cashion explained, "As my spiritual awareness grew, I learned much more about how to extend true love and compassion to all beings - and, at last, to myself. You will see that spiritual journey reflected in my paintings, in the frequent appearance of interrelationships among Nature and people."

Kathy Oda is a glassist, creating sculptural and functional art by kiln-firing glass. Her new series, "Elemental Movement', was born out of her love of nature whether it's a fiery sunset or soothing waves or a contemplative night sky. On display is Serenity, which was inspired by a dream. "The colors and shapes flowed together as I layered and built Serenity. The symbols that I chose for this piece were predominantly about peace, harmony, and enlightenment. Under the light of the blue moon, Serenity emerged as the first creation of 2010 and the first piece of my new series 'Elemental Movement'".

Lambeth Marshall has been a North Carolina potter for over 32 years. Her work has been a part of many juried shows and over 20 art galleries across the East Coast. Kathy Triplett has featured images of her work in American Style Magazine, Clay Times Magazine, and Hand Built Tableware. With two very distinct styles in electric firing and raku firing, Lambeth's work has become a recognizable addition to the long tradition of North Carolina. In her new series, "The Coyote," each piece is hand sculpted and Raku fired. "I am inspired by the southwest and its spiritual folklore." Each piece comes with a book of "Coyote Stories" written by Marshall. "I make up the names and the stories of the coyotes as I create each piece. They are such fun."
