Cary Gallery Art Opening November 25, Thanksgiving Friday

carygallery — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 22:02:00 +0000

Please join us from 6-9 pm this Friday to celebrate the work of our featured artists. Enjoy music and refreshments while viewing Recent Works by painter Kathleen Ward and Paint, Paper, and Possibilities by collage artist E. Tracy Williams. Painter Kathleen Ward is a master with the brush. Inspired by time spent living on her grandparent’s farm in Western Carolina, Kathleen has found a harmony in the cycles of growing and tending, but is also inspired by the glorious and tempestuous nature of the rugged mountain terrain. Her themes are diverse—she embraces landscape, still life, and portraiture—as she explores the pastoral as well as the isolating qualities of life. E. Tracy Williams takes us into a special world where abstraction is inspired by emotion. Her abstract collages are a medley of color, texture, shape, and depth, exploring the interaction among seemingly unrelated materials to achieve a harmonious, emotional effect. Fabric, papers, metals, paint, and twigs: nothing is taboo. An award-winning artist, E. Tracy Williams is known in exhibitions throughout North Carolina and beyond. Her unique approach allows the viewer to bring their own interpretive possibilities to her exciting compositions in paint and paper. Bring your guests and family this Friday evening!
