From Traditional to Abstract Watercolors - Exhibition
Presented by Gallery Saratoga at Gallery Saratoga May 8-June 3, 2012 This exhibition features watercolor paintings by Norman Dana Carter. Carter likes to paint local scenes in watercolor. Local scenes, because he believes that Saratoga is truly the most beautiful place in the world. He paints in watercolor because he enjoys the way pigment moves on wet paper. He'll sketch a scene, let the large washes flood their texture and color flowing along the canyon and crevices of the best paper possible for brilliant washes. |

In Sight of Night - Exhibition
Presented by Aegis Gallery of Fine Art at Aegis Gallery of Fine Art August 1-August 26, 2012 Rick Whitacre's passion is to create images that grab the viewers' eyes and compel them to explore the photographs in more detail. He tries to express in his photographs the awe and inspiration he feels when viewing a scene. He loves the outdoors, especially unspoiled wildernesses, and specializes in scenes from the national and state parks. Recently, his work has expanded to include night and star photography to help convey the expanse and magnitude of the natural world. |

Solo Exhibition by Starr Davis
Presented by Aegis Gallery of Fine Art at Aegis Gallery of Fine Art August 29-September 23, 2012 Starr Davis grew up in an artistic family near Chicago.

Solo Exhibition by Hae Yeon Jenny Kim
Presented by Aegis Gallery of Fine Art at Aegis Gallery of Fine Art September 27-October 21, 2012 Hae Yeon Jenny Kim explains her work in this way: "Life began from such unsuspecting circumstances. She was veiled beneath a thin, silky curtain. As time passed, and days went by, the fragile casing could no longer hide the art within. Like a graceful choreographed ballet, she danced; knocking on the door of her new life. With an effortless push, she burst through and was set free. The metamorphosis is complete. The once unnoticed caterpillar gets ready to spread her new wings for the... |

Kay Duffy and Friends - Exhibition
Presented by Aegis Gallery of Fine Art at Aegis Gallery of Fine Art October 24-November 18, 2012 The freedom, spontaneity, and speed--the "wet and loose"--of watercolor suits Kay Duffy's temperament. Her approach is "juicy"--incorporating bright colors, broad strokes, and strong shapes to depict her feelings and impressions of the natural landscape, flowers and trees, buildings, foreign lands, and exotic places. Most enjoyable to her is the freedom of painting on location--"en plein air."
Her recent, more experimental work uses collage, which... |
