PRESS RELEASE
THE ARTS COUNCIL OF SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA IS PREPARING FOR AN ART EXHIBITION OF THE WORK OF SIX KENTUCKY ARTISTS IN THE BOWER-SUHRHEINRICH FOUNDATION GALLERY.
“Six Painted Ladies,†aka: Iris Gentry, Susie Rideout, Marka Kroeger and Cathe Hedgespeth of Henderson, Sandy Barry of Clay and Jan Frazier of Owensboro have been painting together for quite some time. They meet regularly in their homes and studios to drink coffee, paint, and share what they know about art as well as comment on what they like and what they don’t like about one another’s work. Harrowing? Yes, but always productive and always a pleasure. They work in a variety of media but oil and watercolor dominates and their subject matter ranges from abstract, still life, landscapes and plein air paintings to an occasional portrait.
The result of these work sessions has been some interesting area art exhibits, such as the one, titled “Six Painted Ladies,†that opens Tuesday, December 7, from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. in the Bower-Suhrheinrich Foundation Gallery in downtown Evansville.
Each artist will have several pieces in the exhibit at 318 Main Street, which will be on display through January 12, 2011. The Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
