Providence Gallery in Charlotte, NC,
Offers Works by Michele Harvey Collins
More or Less, an exhibit featuring works by Michele Harvey Collins will be on view at Providence Gallery in Charlotte, NC, through Sept. 30, 2008.
Collins began pursuing her life-long love of painting full-time four years ago. Her education includes a Bachelor of Arts degree from Davidson College and studies with renowned artist and instructor, Andrew Braitman of the Braitman Studios in Charlotte.
Following her love of travel, Collins specializes in landscapes from locales near and far. Her paintings depict the countryside of Tuscany, France, and Spain, as well as areas in her native North Carolina, particularly the Appalachian Mountains. In addition to landscapes, the show will also feature figurative and still life works. Working in oil media, Collins captures her subjects with the deft use of pallet knife and skilled brushwork.
The title of this show, More or Less, centers on Collins' current focus on the application of paint, at times using layers to build texture and for other subjects, consciously choosing to use less paint, creating more of a sheer appearance.
