Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public. The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out, enjoy a pleasant evening, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you! The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday, September 20 from 5-7 pm.
About the exhibit:
Inspired by the sun shining through rainbow window film, the idea for “Everyday Rainbows” began when I captured pictures of sun painted rainbows across my bathroom sink vanity and evolved into an exploration of color.
While studying for my art degree, I discovered my love of color went deeper than the clothes I wore or how I decorated. I began utilizing color to tell a story, emphasize a design, or create an emotion. Combining those colors with simple shapes allowed me to think minimally while making a big impact. As I was naturally drawn to bright, neon, and iridescent colors, it steadily became a focus in my art to incorporate eye catching color.
Every piece of art you see here is created from just 3 colors: pink, yellow, and blue. By limiting myself, I explored, experimented, and showed the versatility of color. It is satisfying to see the way combinations, layers, and techniques, can elicit vastly different reactions. I tried new, experimental styles of creation with media outside my norm to further explore the opportunities these 3 colors could provide.
As you peruse the gallery, you will see the breadth of opportunity within these 3 colors. Though each start from the same place, the results can be vastly different.
