SOLO Art Gallery in Winston-Salem, NC, Features Works by Dorothy Shoemaker

SOLO Art Gallery in Winston-Salem, NC, will open a solo exhibition featuring recent oil paintings by Dorothy Shoemaker on Sept. 12. Landscapes and still lifes will be shown and Shoemaker's work will be on exhibit
at the gallery through Oct. 26, 2002.

After painting in watercolors for twenty years, Shoemaker started painting in oils and found out that they are the ultimate medium for her. Shoemaker's style reflects her love of color and expressive brushstrokes. Her favorite subjects in recent years have been landscapes, with her attention divided evenly between scenes of French towns and countrysides and vistas of Carolina coastal and mountain areas. Whenever possible, she sets up canvas, paints and her easel to do plein-air painting.

Born in Virginia, Shoemaker now lives in South Carolina. Her paintings have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in numerous museums and galleries from New Jersey to Georgia. Shoemaker's work has appeared in print in a number of publications. She has been the recipient of several grants, including two from the York County Arts Council. She has studied with a number of nationally known artists, including Connie Winters, James Kerr, Andy Braitman, Kim English, Elizabeth Ross and Frank Creech.
