Art Exhibits at Emerald Isle Parks &
Recreation gallery during September & October

The works of Emerald Isle artist Georgia
Mason will be featured during the months of September and October 2008 at the
Emerald Isle Parks & Recreation gallery. Her work in recent years reflects a
sense of freedom and experimentation. "Usually beginning with no preconceived
subject matter, the painting tells me what comes next. Each work is awash with
new possibilities when working with mixed media. –
watercolor and acrylic are intermingled. Paint can be layered,
textured, scraped and scratched. Items and images are added, subtracted,
imprinted, covered over, embedded, or then uncovered. Try layering paper –
tissues, washi, origami, any kind. Imagination and
magic are invited to slip in. What emerges generally arouses a refreshing
sense of surprise and awe for me, and hopefully for the viewer. When you can
walk away from conformity - the idea of what others expect or what has been
created in the past - you enter an exciting new realm of possibilities and
joy".
The
exhibited paintings will feature oceanic themes along with abstracts,
florals, and landscapes.
Georgia teaches a
workshop series which is titled "Cut Loose! Paint Paper &
Passion" several times a year with instruction in collage, mixed media, and
creative expression. For information on upcoming dates, contact her at bluecrab@ec.rr.com
