Center for Craft, Creativity and Design in Hendersonville, NC, Features Works by Molly Mabe
The Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, located at UNC Asheville Kellogg Center, in Hendersonville, NC, is presenting an exhibition of landscape paintings by Molly Mabe, from May 4 - 31, 2002. The exhibition is being presented in conjunction with Mabe's two-week residency at the Center. The work reflects her impression of the environment on the Perry N. Rudnick Nature Trail recently opened at the Kellogg Center.
Selected as the first environmental artist-in-residence from a national call-to-artists, Mabe recently moved to Durham, NC, from Florida. She earned her BS from Simmons College and her MFA in painting from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her paintings and commissions have been on exhibit across the country, including most recently an Art in Public Places commission for the new Volusia County (FL) Courthouse (2002); Landscape and the Environment Exhibition, at the Florida State Museum in Tallahassee (2002); Marsh Morning, a commission for the New Common Room of the Hospice of North Florida (2001) and an installation of The Way in the Panama Canal Zone as part of the United States in Embassies Program.
In Mabe's application for the residency, she wrote: "One of the many privileges and requirements of being an artist is to directly experience the environment. In the unique world of the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains the geology, the natural forms and plants work together to communicate their ancient secrets...the possibility of working with the pants as they emerge in their environments is exciting".
