skàyp) noun (plural land·scapes) 1. visually distinct
scenery: an expanse of scenery of a particular type, especially
as much as can be seen by the eye 2. painting of view: a painting,

Betsy Bayne
The exhibition will feature the landscape as
interpreted by the artist's eye and explored in a variety of media:
photography, fiber, oil, printmaking, polymer clay, watercolor,
and watermedia collage. Texture and technique color and composition
are worked and weaved to create mood and feeling in works by Betsy
Bayne (oil on paper), Jane Todd Butcher (watermedia collage),
Barbara Mickelsen Ervin (printmaking), Susan Lenz (fiber), Joe
Park (watercolor), Beth Bullman Regula (polymer clay), and Bill
Robertson (photography).
From the realistic to the representational and from watercolor
farmhouses to fiber tree lines on water-soluble fabric the viewer
will journey to landscapes both familiar and exotic. Beth Bullman
Regula, a polymer clay artist from Roebuck, SC, says the basis
for her work is "The moving line, forever restless Seeking
to define shapes and forms"
Jane Todd Butcher from Greer, SC, who works
primarily in watermedia collage, prefers for work to only "suggest
a place or image" intending for the viewer to experience
her work on an emotional rather than literal level, sensing feelings
and memories rather than recognizing a particular landmark or
place.
Betsy Bayne from Greenville,SC, who works primarily with oil on
paper is a regional favorite with her dramatic often stormy compositions
that focus on light, color and texture.
