Fine Artist in Residence Exhibition
August 31, 2013 - September 14, 2013 Four rising artists worked with mentors through this Strathmore program; now see their works on display in the Mansion Galleries. Adrienne (Ang) Gaither doesn’t confine herself to one medium, working in paint, digital graphic arts and organic sculpture, switching adroitly among them to best convey a message through her work. Mixed media artist and airbrush master Drew Storm Graham carves and constructs relief sculptures that are beautifully colored, working expertly with shading, gradient, shadows and three-dimensionality. Illustrator Jessica Rose views her art as an escape route from reality and a manifesto to defy convention. Susan Stacks’ complex works in pencil, ink and watercolor are designed with painstaking detail and exhibit excruciating patience—thousands of tiny dots and dashes are arranged in a pattern-like way, creating works that are incredibly intricate and meditative.
