"First in Show" <br /> Lindy Muse <br /> Contact information :art @chapelhillartgallery.com <br /> Member, Chapel Hill Art Gallery <br /> Artist's statement: <br /> "I began my painting career in 1995 with traditional folk art acrylics, I was 40 years old. I began <br /> with wood pieces and old furniture. 1 stayed busy painting faux finishes in new homes, wall murals <br /> and so many lovely baby nurseries as the years past. In 1999 1 opened Painted Collections, a gift <br /> shop with a connecting art studio. I hand painted gifts for sale and continued to custom paint for <br /> individuals. Those years were with acrylics and as I grew as an artist I added mediums as batik <br /> and watercolor. 1 think I will always be challenged by the wonderful world of watercolor! <br /> I'm a southern girl that loves fried chicken, loves to garden and paint those wonderful flowers! <br /> Color is one of the finest gifts of life. My art soothes my soul.....it has been a special part of my life and <br /> will be,always.Those quiet moments with the brush have gotten me through good times and bad.I am so <br /> thankful for the special joy it brings me and the ability to share with others" <br /> In addition to these well-established artists and others to be added,the curator <br /> intends to jury art by local"sketchers"whose work may best express the energy of <br /> drawings that sometimes is lost in finished paintings. <br />
