SUMMARY:Drift
DESCRIPTION:Artists Ryann Carey and Pete Rodrigues will be exhibiting recent works in their upcoming show\, Drift\, which will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd until May 25th. The opening reception will be on Friday\, April 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm. During the reception\, Ben Fisher will perform experimental/ambient music heavily influenced by North Carolina’s deep tradition of folk music\, on the patio in front of the gallery.  \nPainter Ryann Carey considers Drift an apt title for the watercolor work she has created for this show.  Says Carey “I am a bit of a wanderer both in place and mind.  Often sidetracked by the light reflecting off an electric wire or the pattern of the ripples on water\, I let my observations lead the way for my watercolor paintings.  These moments surround us\, often passing unnoticed\, in the midst of joy\, pain\, sadness\, hope.”   \nWoodworker Pete Rodrigues creates not only unique handcrafted furniture\, but also art that hangs on the wall. Using select hardwoods which he cuts\, bends and shapes\, Rodrigues uses his imagination as well as his knowledge of the properties of his materials to achieve his original designs. “For me\, creating furniture as an art form is a process of visualizing what is possible- designing building\, and then letting it be used as function as much as form” says Rodrigues. “For my featured show this year I’m excited about the work I will be displaying. As I continue to work on them\, I’m enjoying how the process is more sculptural\, having a general idea and drifting with it.” \nDrift will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd through May 25th with a talk by the artists in the gallery on Saturday\, May 10th at 4pm.  \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts:\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 20 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, weaving\, jewelry\, glass\, gourd sculpture\, scratchboard\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery is open 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, and 12pm-4pm on Sunday.

SUMMARY:Tapping Into Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Artists Jason Smith\, Jude Lobe\, and Martha Danek will be exhibiting recent works in their upcoming show\, Tapping Into Spirit\, which will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from March 25th until April 20th. The opening reception will be on Friday\, March 28th from 6:00-9:00 pm with live music on the patio provided by Steve Fishman & the Pied Vipers. \nMetal sculptor\, Jason Smith\, has created a variety of large and small-scale sculptures for this show. Smith combines found objects with metal that he has cut\, welded\, and forged\, to create sculptures of great balance\, strength\, and beauty. Smith writes\, “As an artist\, I am driven by the belief that spirit resides in the overlooked and the ordinary. My work is a journey of transformation\, where I take found objects—discarded fragments of the world—and re-forge them into metal sculptures that embody tranquility and mindfulness.” Smith sees his sculptures as “invitations to pause\, to breathe\, and to find harmony in the interplay of strength and softness\, chaos and calm.” \nJude Lobe is an artist who enjoys working with many different types of media\, and she will be exhibiting both sculptures and paintings in this show. Lobe writes that her new collection presents “an expression of the Native American philosophy of interconnectedness\, balance\, and respect for nature\, manifesting in both my totemic sculptures and my endangered landscapes.” Her totems are intended to bridge the ancient and the contemporary\, serving “as both a narrative and a conversation” through the use of bold expression and thoughtfully crafted details. \nLobe’s endangered landscape paintings are done in the minimalist style\, allowing the viewers “to infuse their own emotions into the landscape.” She hopes that they will serve a dual purpose of encouraging the viewers to consider the interconnectedness of all things while reminding us to respect the fragile balance we share with our surroundings. \nMartha Danek’s painted gourd sculptures and mixed-media assemblages are inspired by an awareness of details\, both in nature and in the everyday items from our lives. Danek writes\, “I looked back at the meanings assigned to flowers during Victorian times\, as well as the symbolism that many cultures have connected to animals\, for inspiration in creating this collection of gourd sculptures. I love the images that our title\, “Tapping into Spirit”\, evokes—I believe that there are messages of inspiration all around us\, and that our lives are enriched when we allow ourselves to notice them.” \nHer mixed-media wall sculptures incorporate found objects\, such as old washboards or pieces of barn wood\, to create sculptures that reflect different aspects of contemporary life. The found objects themselves are already filled with history and potential symbolism; Danek enjoys marrying these objects with small paintings and sculptures of her own making\, creating assemblages that nod to the past while representing life today.  \n Tapping Into Spirit will be on display from March 25th until April 20th at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts.  \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts:\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, weaving\, jewelry\, glass\, gourd sculpture\, scratchboard\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N.

SUMMARY:Moving Heaven and Earth: an Invitational Show of Ten North Carolina Artists
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is pleased to present an invitational show\, “Moving Heaven and Earth\,” featuring the works of ten North Carolina artists. The show will run January 7th through February 9th\, and a reception will be held on Jan. 31st from 6-9 pm. \nThe participating artists are: Jane Filer\, Sarah Graham\, Katie Hayes\, Ian Herdell\, Alexis Joyner\, Ley Killeya\, Oami Powers\, Suzan Scribner-Reed\, Darcy Szeremi\, and Nadine Zenobi. This dynamic exhibition will include works in a variety of media—paintings\, block prints\, jewelry\, wooden sculptures\, graphite drawings\, ceramic sculptures\, and handmade wooden furniture.  \nAlthough there will be a rich variety of media and artistic styles represented in this show\, a common denominator among all of the exhibiting artists is a dedication to creating works with great depth of meaning. The title of the show\, “Moving Heaven and Earth\,” is meant to encompass the range of their subject matter\, from the earthy to the mystic\, as well as express admiration for the artistic skill and the emotional energy shown by this talented group of creators. \nJane Filer’s acrylic paintings invite viewers into a world of what she describes as “magical realism\,” featuring both real and imagined creatures in landscapes that are simultaneously familiar and fantastic. Jane says\, “In our immediate experiences and memories are locked the sweetness of a moment and interesting animated visual impressions. I work with this to express my love and amazement for life.” \nSarah Graham’s painted abstract landscapes draw on her lifelong engagement with the natural world. Sarah writes\, “I believe we take in natural beauty and goodness as we do food; it sustains us\, it becomes us.” She imagines her paintings as the direct result of these moments. “They are thank you notes\, love letters back to our generous\, breathtaking\, mysterious world.”	 \nKatie Hayes draws on her Western North Carolina roots to create naturalist-inspired block prints. Her hand-pressed\, limited-edition prints show respect to all creatures\, from salamanders to crayfish to herons. Hayes created New South Pattern House\, located in Hillsborough\, NC\, “to highlight the vibrant cities and amazing ecosystems of the Southeastern U.S.” \nIan Herdell uses wood to create his handmade furniture and artwork at his Hillsborough studio\, Cambrian Company. Ian writes\, “Through storms of sawdust I seek the stories that trees can tell. I strive to forge a connection between nature and human intention\, making something new and beautiful to share.” \nAlexis Joyner creates figurative wood carvings with an emphasis on familial relationships. “I find myself drawn to the special bond between mother and child\,” Joyner notes. “I often address social issues and concerns and I like to gently remind young folk that they don’t need to reinvent the wheel.” \nLey Killeya uses acrylic paint and a range of printmaking techniques to create her abstract figurative paintings. Her pieces are meant to represent the body\, “without clear markers of person or place\,” instead allowing Killeya and the viewer to consider\, “how our identities\, and the ways others perceive them\, are used to confer power\, limit rights\, exercise control\, and interrogate identity.” \nOami Powers creates contemporary ceramic sculpture\, installations\, and graphite drawings\, all of which are “inspired by personal history and a lifelong love for Myths and folklore.” Created with simple elements such as mud\, fire\, and graphite\, her pieces “use gesture and expression to evoke the intimacy and complexity of the human experience.” \nSuzan Scribner-Reed creates her mixed media paintings using multiple layers of acrylic paint\, oil pastels\, pencils\, vintage papers\, and wax on birch panels. Inspired by nature\, poetry\, and weathered surfaces\, her pieces are meant to contain an element of mystery. Scribner-Reed writes\, “Each layer and mark I make adds depth\, history\, and richness. I use line\, form\, color and unexpected imperfections to build a narrative that feels familiar to our own individual memories.” \nDarcy Szeremi’s handcrafted sterling jewelry often tells stories\, many of which feature animals or people who cavort around the pieces in poses that are meant to make the viewer smile. She is especially drawn to horses and cats for her animal imagery\, and says that\, “the people in my work are either dancing or reaching for stars\, depending on my mood. I hope that my art brings joy.” \nNadine Zenobi’s interest in the healing arts influences her unique jewelry creations. She gives careful attention to the choice of stones and metals in her work\, and takes inspiration from the natural world for her designs. Nadine is a painter as well as a jeweler\, and one of her pieces in the show will feature a section taken from a painting that\, “signals the energy of sound without boundary.” \nPlease join us as we welcome this talented group to the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts. Moving Heaven and Earth runs from January 7th through February 9th\, with a reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on Friday\, January 31st from 6-9pm. \nAbout the Gallery\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The gallery’s offerings include watercolor\, oil and acrylic paintings\, metal and figurative sculpture\, ceramics\, scratchboard\, painted gourd sculpture\, jewelry\, glass arts\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, fiber arts\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery’s hours are 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, 12-4 Sunday.

SUMMARY:Color Comes Alive
DESCRIPTION:A new show\, Color Comes Alive\, highlights the work of artists Marcy Lansman\, Pat Merriman and Pringle Teetor. It will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from September 24th through October 20th\, with a reception in the gallery on Friday\, September 27th from 6-9pm with live swing and blues music on the patio provided by The Pied Vipers. \nMany of Marcy Lansman’s paintings have been inspired by what she sees on walks in the woods near her home in Chapel Hill.  Lansman begins with an underpainting of bright patches of color. Then\, using a palette knife\, she fills the painting with random strokes that together create the illusion of light hitting trees. Speckles of color from the underpainting show through the random shapes created by the palette knife.  “The effect\,” says Lansman\, “is to liven up the painting\, mimicking splashes of light we see in nature.” This technique is especially suited to paintings of trees since\, from a distance\, the leaves on a tree look like random patches that vary not only in brightness\, but in color.”\nLansman wants her paintings to take the viewers out of their busy world into the peace and quiet of the woods. \nPat Merriman’s paintings reflect her love of North Carolina\, her native state. Constant experimentation keeps her work fresh\, innovative\, interesting and unique. “I am inspired to try new techniques\, paints\, and brushes and see what they add to my work. Currently I am exploring the use of different techniques and materials to create snow scenes.” Experimentation helps encourage creativity\, and broadens an artist’s perspective. “I believe it breathes life into artwork\,” says Merriman\, “and hope you will come see what it has brought to my work in this show.”\nThis year has been challenging for glassblower Pringle Teetor. She missed almost 3 months in the studio due to shoulder surgery and was not able to get back until mid-June. “At first\, I just practiced simple forms” said Teetor\, “but I made them a little different. I picked random colors for these pieces as I was mainly practicing\, but they turned out very well. Footed bowls are something I love to make but have struggled with in the past because of my shoulder problems. With Color Comes Alive as the theme of the show\, I put colors together for bright contrast\, like purple and orange for some of the bowls.” Teetor also has carved pieces in the show\, a cold decorative technique called battuto\, done with diamond wheels on a lathe.  It is a very lengthy\, tedious technique\, and requires planning layers of color so that cutting through one layer reveals another color underneath.\n“Years ago\, I fell in love with the motion and dance of the heat and fire.  It blends physical\, technical and artistic skills. It’s physically demanding and hard on the body.  It’s exhausting\, but yet\, I still love it.” \nAbout the Gallery:\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor paintings\, metal sculpture\, figurative sculpture\, ceramics\, photography\, photomontage\, painted gourds\, mixed media\, jewelry\, glass\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery’s hours are 10am-6pm Monday–Saturday\, 12-4pm Sunday.

SUMMARY:INTERTWINED
DESCRIPTION:Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry by Arianna Bara\, nature and figurative art by Ryann Carey\, painted gourd sculptures by Martha Danek. In the gallery August 27th through September 22nd. Opening reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk\, August 30th\, 6-9pm.\nHillsborough musician Ben Fisher will perform on the patio in front of the gallery during the Last Friday Art Walk. Ben plays folk\, medieval and early renaissance music on a Pono Nui – a very large ukulele. \nJeweler Arianna Bara describes her interpretation of the show’s title Intertwined as the relationships between the stones\, the metal and her own creative processes. “I strive for the harmonious but also the unexpected; the shiny and the muted\, the darkened and the bright. The interplay of light\, color and shape combine and\, in the best of circumstances\, result in a piece that is greater than the sum of its parts. Those moments are my favorites.” \nIn a literal way\, Martha Danek’s artistic medium\, gourds\, grow on vines that twine around any stationary object near them.\n“When I paint the mottled surface of a gourd with a wash of watercolor\, whorls and patterns emerge that remind me of clouds or seawater or a nebula. I love using these naturally occurring patterns as inspirational starting points for my gourd sculptures.” Her gourd pieces feature trees\, flowers\, birds\, fish\, and many other life forms that have inspired her work for more than thirty years. “They seem to fit very comfortably on a natural gourd ‘canvas.’ “I love the idea of nest-building\, and have used found materials such as leather\, twigs\, and hemp to create stylized nests perched at the tops of some of my pieces.” Intertwined lives\, vines\, nests\, relationships…the opportunities for inspiration have been rich! \nPhotography was painter Ryann Carey’s first love as an artistic medium. Her love of observation provides the inspiration to capture moments\, first on camera\, and then in her paintings. “I strive to paint the representational world converged with the emotional response that it elicits. With my paintings\, I then rely heavily on my sense memory to portray not only what the eye has seen but also the feeling that a space and time have evoked.” More recently\, Carey has begun intertwining photography\, cyanotype\, and ink\, with watercolor. “Opening my practice to additional mediums adds challenges and benefits that make the process that much more interesting for me.” \nIntertwined will be on display from August 27th to September 22nd at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts. \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts:\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, photography\, photomontage\, jewelry\, glass\, gourd sculpture\, scratchboard\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery is open 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, and 12pm-4pm on Sunday.

SUMMARY:It’s All About the Story\, Volume X: Mary Rocap
DESCRIPTION:In 2013 the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts began an annual show highlighting the work of a local writer by responding visually to his or her work. In the past\, this show has been inspired by the work of writers with local ties: Michael Malone\, Lee Smith\, Allan Gurganus\, Jill McCorkle\, Nancy Peacock\, John Bemis\, Elizabeth Keckly\, composer Billy Strayhorn and poet Jaki Shelton Green. This year the show returns\, highlighting the work of North Carolina singer/songwriter Mary Rocap. The gallery’s 21 artists have each chosen a song from Ms. Rocap’s CD\, Deep December Dreams\, as inspiration for a work of art in their chosen medium.\nSculptor Lynn Wartski has interpreted Mary Rocap’s song Jupiter and Venus as a dancing rabbit\, in a felted wool sculpture titled “Venus Dances for Herself”. “The song is a re-imagining of the myth based on the December sky conjunction of the two planets\,” explained Wartski. “My sculpture is a re-imagining of Mary’s song. She tells the tale of Venus’s yearly plea to Jupiter to accept her and Mars’ love child. My Venus is dancing to please herself\, and doesn’t care if she has Jupiter’s approval. She is dancing with her own joy.”\nBotanical artist Chris Graebner was inspired by the song “Cotton” to look at the cotton blossom more closely. Cotton is in the mallow family which makes it a relative of hibiscus\, okra and hollyhocks\, among other garden favorites. Its flowers are similar to theirs in shape\, but while cotton flowers are white when they open\, after pollination they begin to change color and in several days they become a bright fuchsia.\nNancy Smith was inspired by the song “Oleander” to create a portrait. The song speaks about a mother’s giving her beautiful daughter a poisonous name for protection. In creating the painting\, Nancy imagined the daughter holding onto her innocence despite living the legacy of her mother’s curse.\nThe images in Deep December Dreams provided fertile inspiration for the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts’ 21 visual artists. Their work will be on display from February 20th through March 24th with a reception in the gallery on February 23rd from 6-9pm during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk. In addition\, HGA will host a performance by Ms. Rocap in the gallery on Sunday\, March 10th from 4-6pm. Both events are free and open to the public.\nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, photography\, photomontage\, jewelry\, glass\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, and wood. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery is open 10am-6pm Tuesday – Saturday\, and 12pm-4pm on Sunday.

SUMMARY:CONNECTING VISIONS
DESCRIPTION:Opening on April 25th at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts\, Connecting Visions presents the work of three artists. Painter Eduardo Lapetina\, photographer and digital artist Eric Saunders\, and metal sculptor Jason Smith\, come together to create a show that pushes boundaries.  \nEduardo Lapetina’s desire is to connect with the outside world through his paintings. “I want the present work to be the catalyst to rethink the significance of our future and to stimulate ideas and dialogue. To have a fresh outlook with an explosion of vibrant colors\, impactful textures and messages of hope.” “I also want to interpret color as a tangible form\, yet simultaneously retaining a dichotomy of fluidity giving way to shifting patterns to mirror a harmony resonating with emotional feelings. I want my journey in art to be a nature orchestration of my experiences and emotions.” \nEric Saunders’ work is a blend of abstract natural landscapes and digitally altered images. “In the past year I have re-involved myself with making composite images by combining elements of two or more photographs into one image.” Saunders’ often uses this technique to make whimsical combinations of elements that ultimately fit together in a different way than one might expect from looking at the original images. “Sometimes odd combinations actually present themselves in the original image” he says\, “for example\, shadows on an umbrella or berries against a cloudy sky.” \nJason Smith is a metal sculptor who creates works of art that challenge the boundaries of traditional sculpting techniques. With a passion for working with metal\, he transforms this raw material into pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also thought-provoking. “My work reflects my deep interest in the duality of the material I work with – its strength and fragility\, its power and delicacy.” Each piece is a unique expression of his artistic vision\, exploring the relationship between form and function\, the organic and the geometric\, and the harmony and chaos of the natural world. \n“Connecting Visions” will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 25th through May 21st with a reception in the gallery on Friday\, April 28th from 6-9pm.  \nAbout the Gallery\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil and acrylic paintings\, sculpture\, ceramics\, photography\, jewelry\, glass\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, and wood. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery’s hours are 10am-6pm Tuesday –Saturday\, 12-4pm on Sunday.

SUMMARY:MELTING
DESCRIPTION:Melting into the New Year\nThe twenty one artists of the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts\, will begin 2023 with a group show entitled MELTING\, a title that suggests many different things to the individual artists.\nFor the gallery’s newest member\, Catharine Carter\, it evoked images of flooded homes and rising water which are frequently in the news and weather forecasts these days. Says Catharine “I worry about the future of our planet and the kind of world we are leaving to future generations.”\nFor painter Jude Lobe “Melting” also evoked ideas of climate change. “As an environmentalist\, I immediately envisioned a lone Polar Bear standing on a small broken piece of ice with the sun setting in the background. Of course\, that image has been burned in our mind as climate change is a hot topic these days.”\nFigurative sculptor\, Lynn Wartski\, was also thinking about arctic climates with her piece “So Many Questions” which features a male emperor penguin with his penguin chick.  “I anthropomorphize the chick in this sculpture to be about the stage of a human 2 or 3 year old\, when questions starting with ‘why?’ are frequently asked. I picture this young chick asking why it is taking mommy so long to walk back to the ice from the shore.”\nAbstract painter Marcy Lansman wasn’t thinking about “melting” when she created her painting.  “I was playing with paint\, hoping to create a pleasing composition.  Now when I look at what I created\, I see melting arctic islands\, and I can give the painting an environmental interpretation\, something related to climate change.”\nPainters Nancy Smith and Chris Graebner weren’t thinking about climate change either with their pieces for the show. Nancy’s painting “Melting into Spring” refers to that time of year when winter begins to give way to spring. I tried to capture the winter chill\, bare trees\, and the contrasting soft beginnings of new leaves sprouting. Botanical artist Chris Graebner’s painting “Winter Kale” shows snow melting on a head of bright pink ornamental kale.\nPringle Teetor\, a glass blower\, describes her piece this way “I made a lovely vase and purposely overheated the top. I allowed it to sag inward\, using heat and gravity\, as if the sun was beating down\, so hot\, that nothing could survive in our world. Not even glass.”\nOne word\, Melting\, can evoke so many different responses in creative people. Come see the show at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from January 10th through February 12th with a reception in the gallery on Friday\, January 27th from 6-9pm.\nAbout the Gallery\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil and acrylic paintings\, sculpture\, ceramics\, photography\, jewelry\, glass\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, and wood. 121 N.

SUMMARY:Sweet Impossible Blossoms
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents Sweet Impossible Blossoms\, a show of new work by jeweler Arianna Bara\, painter Chris Graebner and woodworker Ian Herdell. Just in time for spring. \nThe title of the show comes from Arianna Bara’s favorite poem “From Blossoms” by Li-Young Lee. The final stanza is There are days we live/as if death were nowhere in the background; from joy/to joy to joy\, from wing to wing\, from blossom to blossom to/impossible blossom\, to sweet impossible/blossom. Says Bara “It reminds me that days of sweetness can exist even in the midst of loss and that the creative process can renew and spark even under difficult circumstances. I have used an ancient Korean gilding technique called Keum Boo to incorporate 24 kt gold into many of my new pieces. The gold is a brilliance arising from the blackness of the darkened silver. A sweet impossible blossom.” \nChris Graebner wasn’t familiar with the poem\, but her new paintings are bouquets of flowers\, so the title felt appropriate. “Now having read it\, From Blossoms feels even more appropriate. The poem is about moments of joy and beauty and of living life in those moments with gratitude. Painting flowers is an exercise in taking something brief and mysterious and making it familiar and lasting. I find that the process of painting flowers makes them part of me. Perhaps it is some sort of Zen – paying close attention to each individual flower and petal – because it results in ‘knowing’ a plant in a way that makes it a permanent part of my world. I hope that spending time with my Sweet Impossible Blossoms will do that for the viewer as well.” \nIan Herdell is inspired by the beauty and structure of forms found in nature and brings that into his furniture designs. “I find that each tree has a story to tell\, a snapshot into its unique life. My designs incorporate and harness the knots\, splits\, rot\, spalting\, special grain and sculpting done by insects\, wind and weather. At times I also highlight these ‘imperfections’ with inlaid shells to bring more attention to them.” Among his influences are the simplicity and beautiful craftsmanship of Asian woodwork and the diagrams and sketches by naturalists of past centuries. \nSweet Impossible Blossoms will be in the gallery from March 22nd through April 24th with an opening reception in the gallery on March 25th from 6-9pm. \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts:\nOwned and operated by 21 local artists\, HGA represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include paintings\, sculpture\, ceramics\, photography\, textiles\, jewelry\, glass\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, and wood. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278.
