Our Show for January 2012
"Down the Rabbit Hole"
by Bonnie Carter
Art Reception and Gallery Walk – Food, Wine, Music
Reception - January 6, 2012
5:30 - 8:30 p.m.
 
Alice
and her Wonderland have inspired or influenced many works of art and
entertainment over the years and Bonnie has taken her art to a new form
with collage, watercolor, acrylic and more with “Down the Rabbit Hole”.
In
2006 Bonnie took a watercolor painting class at her local library and
fell in love with its fluidity and transparency. As an emerging
watercolor artist, she was published in "Artist's Magazine",
winning third place in the Student Division with her painting of
"Lori's Luscious Pears". Since then she has won
numerous awards in local shows. She paints almost daily in her
home studio and joins six other women (The Sisterhood of the
Traveling Paint Brushes) once a week.
All
artists get a little frustrated with their medium and begin to look
beyond it and other forms of creativity. Bonnie picked up a book by
a well-known acrylic abstract artist and immediately became
interested and excited by this new medium. She started
experimenting with acrylics to produce heavily textured
impressionistic paintings as well as interesting collage pieces using
digital pictures, old magazine pages, fabric, corrugated cardboard
and various ephemera.
Refreshments will be served.
Open to the public free of charge.
