Summit One Gallery in Highlands, NC, Features Works by 4 Wild Women
Summit One Gallery in Highlands NC, will open
the 2004 exhibition season with Wild WomenIs it the Art, the
Women, or Both? on May 29 and continue through June 23, 2004.
Four very popular regional artists are included in this exhibition:
Rosemary Clark Stiefel, Diane McPhail, Jane Smithers and Kathrine
Coleman.
Rosemary Clark Stiefel combines botanical and architectural forms
in her paintings; choosing to abstract from these forms and create
something that is more involved with line and color and pattern
relationships, than with reality.
Diane McPhail concentrates on manipulated photographs and thematically
has been drawn to the "wildness" of the human connection
with divinitymatter and spirit. Her work has taken on the personalities
of the feminine figures from the world's spiritual traditions
of the Greek and Native American mythology.
Jane Smithers
Jane Smithers, well known for her European
and regional landscapes, has ventured beyond realism into abstract
realms; fusing the two with color. She says, "Painting with
a palette knife is almost like sculpting impressions into permanent
images, being in constant motion...sometimes big and bold, sometimes
delicate and soft". This new work offers a glimpse of something
familiar and evokes an emotional response from the viewer.
Kathrine Coleman has taken the 'still life' to a different plane.
She has taken everyday subject matter and has literally stitched
together an unusual collage of acrylic paintings while retaining
the familiar 'still life'.
