Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash, NC, Features Works by Three Artists
A joint show of three artists opens at Sunset
River Marketplace in Calabash, NC, on Sept. 3 and continues through
Sept. 30, 2004. The exhibition entitled, Diane, Sherry &
Cherl: Three Artists from North Carolina, includes a variety
of work from Diane P. Kendrick, Sherry Thurston, and Cherl Theresa
Harrison. All three of the artists are art educators. They continue
to pursue the spirit of creativity for themselves and their students.
Diane P. Kendrick
Diane P. Kendrick, whose studio is located
in Milton, NC, is currently a professor of art at Averett University
in Danville, VA. She works in soft pastels, oil pastels and mixed
media. Her pieces reflect the local genre of North Carolina and
Virginia. Kendrick works from the figure as a vehicle to move
back into the landscape.
Kendrick's work has been featured in many juried shows and one-woman
shows, including in the 2003 juried exhibition, Women's Work
from Women's Hands at the Women's Center in Chapel Hill, NC.
Sherry Thurston, who owns her own gallery in Sneed's Ferry, NC,
has an extensive career in portraits and local genre. She works
in oils, acrylics and watercolors. The local high school teacher
is best known for her coastal themes, one of which was chosen
to represent Sneeds Ferry's 2003 Shrimp Festival. Thurston's style
of painting has evolved through the years from very realistic
watercolors to sensitive, colorful, textured layers of paint with
drawing scratched beneath and through layers.
Cherl Theresa
Harrison
High Point, NC, artist Cherl Theresa Harrison
is both painter and photographer, and the two media are represented
here. For the past ten years, she has been including the skeleton
frame in her paintings as a part of her exploration into her immediate
family of origin.
After Sunset River Marketplace, the exhibition is scheduled to
open at the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History on Jan. 6,
2005 and run there through Mar., 2005.
