Artworks Gallery in Winston-Salem, NC, Offers Works by E. Faye Collins & Lucy Spencer

Artworks Gallery in Winston-Salem, NC, is presenting a two-person exhibit of handmade paper collages by E. Faye Collins and oil paintings by Lucy Spencer, on view through Mar. 31, 2012. A reception will be held on Mar. 11, from 2-4pm.

Collins’ collages reflect her interest in the details of plant, especially the leaves, related shapes, and colors. Spencer’s paintings include birds in trees and fanciful landscapes, ranging in size from very small to very large.

Collins says that collage is a medium that allows the composition to be reformed and refined to the maker’s

satisfaction before the pasting down. She is an avid gardener and patron of trees, an admirer of tomatoes and nature, and a novice birder.

Collins is a native of the Guilford College area in Greensboro, NC, where she resides today. She has a BFA and a MFA in painting and printmaking from the University of NC in Greensboro. She has studied at Kent State Blossom Festival, Penland and Arrowmont craft schools

Spencer earned her BFA from the University of Georgia, and her MFA from the University of NC at Greensboro. She taught art for 30 years in Guilford, Alamance, and Forsyth Counties, and operated the Ark Gallery in her home in Greensboro for 3 years.
