Liquidambar Featured Artists Reception
Liquidambar Gallery & Gifts 80 Hillsboro St, Pittsboro, NC, United StatesPlease join us for a Featured Artist's Reception Sunday, March 4, 2-4pm. Karen Havighurst's work as a graphic designer has led her to watercolor and collage. She tints her own rice and tissue papers, occasionally with a gesso ground for use in her collages, and often include found papers and foils. Her work is semi-abstract, often inspired by nature, with an emphasis on good design, interesting textures, and unusual color combinations. Bob Meier is a clay artist who primarily focuses on function work. All of his pieces are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. They are perfect for everyday use. He uses multiple glazing techniques to achieve his wonderful designs. Also, we have the talented Alice Osborn to entertain us during the reception! Karen Havighurst & Bob Meier are the featured artists at Liquidambar in March. Music by Alice Osborn.
