The Council will exhibit over 30 paintings by Emerald Isle artist Georgia Mason. She is a member of the Watercolor Society of NC and the Southwestern Watercolor Society. Her non-representational paintings are created in watercolors, mixed media and, often, “found objects.”
Ms. Mason states: “My painting has evolved over the years from my early beginnings in watercolor to the experimental mixed media work that I am now doing. I was fortunate to have had a disciplined education in representational art with drawing lessons, still life, landscapes and plein air painting. Then my eyes opened to the beauty of non-representational work as I began working with mixed media. My current work involves a process of creating an underpainting using inks, watercolor and acrylics. Then I build the painting with papers and paint, altering surfaces with transparent passages and opaque over-painting. I use whatever evolves in the creative process.”
Meet this fascinating artist at the Gallery Reception on Sunday August 7th from 2:30pm to 4:00pm. The Arts Council is located on New Bridge Street across from Jacksonville City Hall. Regular hours are from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday or by appointment. For more information, please call 910/455-9840 or our website at: www.jaxarts.com.
