McDunn Fine Craft and Art Gallery in Greenville, SC, Offers Works by Jane Allen Nodine

The McDunn Fine Craft and Art Gallery in Greenville, SC, will present the exhibit, Fire and Wax, featuring encaustic paintings by Jane Allen Nodine, on view from May 6 through June 11, 2011. A reception will be held on May 20, from 6-8:30pm.

Nodine began working with the encaustic process in 2006, and has quickly developed a national presence through her participation in exhibition conferences such as the National Encaustic Conference organized by Joanne Mattera, author of the highly acclaimed book The Art of Encaustic Painting.

A series of her encaustic works were acquired by MUSC, the Medical University of South Carolina for the Ashley River Towers Contemporary Carolina Collection, the largest collection of contemporary art in the state.

Nodine is Professor of Art and Director of the Curtis R. Harley Art Gallery at the University of South Carolina Upstate. She exhibits widely in the United States and has been included in several exhibitions in Europe. Recognized with numerous awards, Nodine received an NEA/SECCA Southeastern Seven IV Fellowship from the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, NC, and two South Carolina Arts Commission Artist Fellowships. In 1999 she was selected by the South Carolina State Museum and the South Carolina Arts Commission as one of the one hundred most significant artists in South Carolina during the 20th Century.

McDunn Fine Craft and Art Gallery showcases original works by over thirty artists of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and the surrounding southeast region. You will find studio furniture, woodturning, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, blacksmithing and more.
