Art League of Henderson County in Hendersonville, NC, Features Works by Ruth Mills and Joyce T. Cates
Works by two talented artists, Ruth Mills and Joyce T. Cates, will be featured from July 1 - 30, 2007, in the Grace Etheredge Room at Opportunity House by the Art League of Henderson County in Hendersonville, NC.
Joyce T. Cates studied three years at the Meinzinger School of Arts in Detroit, MI, majoring in commercial art. Through her marriage and child rearing years she worked as a fashion illustrator for magazines and newspapers, was a draftsman for the US Army corps of Engineers, and worked free lance artist doing medical and architectural illustrations, designing logos, and painting backdrops for children's theater. Cates also worked for a yearbook publisher helping students design their yearbooks.
Returning to the business world full time, Cates worked as Art Director for Charlotte Magazine and Vision Magazine for five years, then became Creative Director for Seimens/Pelton and Crane, designing their publications for 13 years. Her work is currently exhibited at Gallery Arena in Greenville, SC.
Ruth Mills, a resident of Hendersonville, will exhibit oils, acrylic and pastel. Her style is realistic and representational.
Mills studied from 1969 to 1985 with instructors in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, including Marcus Blahove, Evelyn Turner, Bob Hopp, and Richard Lahey. From 1993 to 1996 she attended Mt. Phoenix School for Art.
Mills has won awards and honorable mentions from Vienna Society of Artists in Virginia, the Art League of Henderson County.
Mills says of her work, "My artistic desire has always been to convey as nearly as I can the inner feelings I have of amazement and wonder when I observe the complexity and beauty of the world around me. To be able to represent those feelings through composition, color and design is a challenge and fulfillment for me. It is my heartfelt wish that my art can give pleasure or inspiration to someone else."
