Art Exhibits in Emerald Isle Community Center Lounge

Linda Anderson’s art work will be on display during the month of August in the lounge of Emerald Isle Parks & Recreation, 7500 Emerald Drive, Emerald Isle. 

Linda says, “After making a name for myself as a fish monger and a boat builder’s other ¾, I decided that I needed to take on another challenge.  Thinking it over with a “Lawng Eyeland” ice tea, my priorities (believe it or not), were clarified.  I was inspired by my playful and creative grand children gaining the ability to view the world through their eyes.  I was adopted by a stray cat named “Shim”.  (she or him, I wasn’t sure).  But something I was sure of was my love for art, for it allows me to express all of who I am….wife, mother, grandmother, organizer, tennis player, ARTIST.”

Art Exhibits at Emerald Isle Community Center during month of September

Marsha Deane’s artwork will be on display during the month of September in the lounge of Emerald Isle Parks & Recreation, 7500 Emerald Drive, Emerald Isle. 

Marsha attended Moore College of the Arts in Philadelphia.  A southern-born lady, but raised in Pennsylvania, she rediscovered her art after moving to North Carolina 12 years ago.  Retirement has allowed her more time to pursue her love of painting.  She likes to paint the coastal environment that she sees around her: the ocean, the sound, wildlife, and pets.  She is a contemporary realist and strives to paint realism with emotion.  She works in watercolor and acrylic.  She resides in Pine Knoll Shores, NC. 

Art Reception with artist Marsha Deane on Friday, September 17^th.
