FEATURED ARTIST Lower Gallery:  KIMBERLY HEMPEL FINE ART PAINTING Artists’ Statement: In Kimberly’s own words— “In my home studio, I work mostly with photo references to create oil paintings from my travels. When possible I work plein air to capture the mood of the light. I work from direct observation when possible and from photographic reference when the weather is inhospitable. Working from photographic references allows me to make a record of what I see and spend time in my studio translating that image on to the canvas. My current works feature still life in landscape, and explorations of interior settings as well.”

REFRESHMENTS Our show artists really put out an amazing food table tonight.

Virginia Mack is a native Californian. She has been exploring and savoring the wild lands of the state throughout her life. She has been living on the Central Coast for 15 years. She is a part-time instructor at Cuesta College in the fine arts departments.Virginia works primarily in watercolors and mixed media and is a colorist at heart. She builds most of her pieces in a wet-on-wet process (wet watercolor paints on wet watercolor paper) resolving the pieces as the paper slowly dries. She creates the forms with rich colors that she plays off against contrasting colors thereby subduing them while preserving their presence in layers of color. She often mixes the watercolor process with work using colored pencils, pastel, charcoal, and pencil.Virginia received her education in fine arts at the University of California, Berkeley. She has taken additional classes at The California College of Arts and Crafts and in independent workshops. SHOW DATES:  AUGUST 1 TO  AUGUST 2018 OPENING RECEPTION, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10th from 5-8 pm FEATURED ARTIST Lower Gallery:  VIRGINIA MACK FINE ART WATERCOLOR PAINTING
