Water Works Art Exhibit

Six Bridges Watercolor Group

This exhibit will be on display starting Friday, February 18, 2022 thru Friday, March 11, 2022.

Artist Statement:

Our group, Six Bridges Watercolor Group, works primarily in watercolor, but members also explore other water-based media.  We came together during the current pandemic to pursue our common love of painting.  We meet regularly, primarily on "Zoom" to share ideas, discuss our work and to encourage our common pursuit of personal and collective artistic growth.

Our influences are too numerous to include them all, but some notable artists we admire and respect are George Post, Eliot O'Hara, Edward Hopper, Paul Klee, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent and Robert Wade.  You can usually see some of their influences in our work.

In our exhibition, "Water Works," is made up of our collective and individual explorations in water-based media.  Central to our work are the qualities of water.  Its fluidity, transparency and its ubiquity make it a subtle and difficult partner.  We work individually exploring our personal visions and collectively to share in the expansive, varied and unpredictable results from our common starting point.

We are as varied as our influences, and this provides "dynamic tension" both in our discussions and in our work.

Six Bridges Watercolor Group:  Stephen Lanford, Laura Remmel Powers, Kaye Ridings, Kathy Kemp, Suzzette Patterson, Rita Friend, Sage Arnold, Cheryl Hughes, Beth Darr, Joyce Steen, Marsha Pratt, Bonnie Moody
