Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash, NC, Features Works by Barbara Fleri
Sunset
River Marketplace in Calabash, NC, is featuring the works of Barbara
Fleri in a show entitled Coastal Images, on view through
Aug. 31, 2005. The New York native is recognized throughout the
Eastern states for her depictions of the coastline from New England
to the Carolinas. She is best known for her sensitive rendering
of atmospheric effects.
The show consists entirely of her signature coastal scenes, including seascapes, dune paintings and harbor images. Fleri, who lives in Carolina Shores has been working in transparent watercolor for over 40 years.
Fleri is an elected member of the American Artists Professional League, the Hudson Valley Art Association, the Knickerbocker Artists, and is past-president of the Art League of Nassau County. Locally she belongs to the Waccamaw Arts & Crafts Guild, Associated Artists of Southport, Waterway Art Association, North Carolina Watercolor Society and Wilmington Art Association.
Fleri's many awards include the Grumbacher Silver Medal, the National League of American Pen Women Gold Medal of Excellence and the Council of American Artists Societies Award of Merit. Her work is found in corporate collections such as Nations Bank, BB&T, Winthrop University Hospital, Sloan Kettering Hospital and Laurence Rockefeller.
Ginny Lassiter, of Sunset River Marketplace said, in a telephone interview, "The gallery is very pleased to be featuring Barbara this month. She has quite a following of collectors who will be thrilled to see her newest works in one exhibit."
Sunset River Marketplace opened its doors during the summer of 2002. Since then, the 10,000 square-foot gallery representing over 200 North and South Carolina artists has evolved into an art center for the community. The gallery includes a classroom for workshops and art classes for both adults and children, professional and amateur. There are also two on-site kilns and a full-service framing center. Gallery owners Joe and Ginny Lassiter regularly support the community's nonprofit and charitable events. Sunset River Marketplace will again be hosting the 2nd Annual Evening of Miniature Masterpieces fundraiser for the Brunswick Arts Council on Nov. 19, 2005, of this year.
