Artists’ Reception at Liquidambar
Liquidambar Gallery & Gifts 80 Hillsboro St, Pittsboro, NC, United StatesPlease join us for a Featured Artist's Reception Sunday, September 3, 2-4pm. Carol Kroll creates one-of-a-kind contemporary mixed media sculpture & fine craft. She says, "Living close to nature, I find inspiration all around me. I am intrigued by natures’ recurrent fractal patterns; the repetition of color, texture and form recurring throughout nature from the micro to the macro. I see this as a reflection of our inherent interconnection with all of life. My work celebrates the beauty and wonder of natures’ design and honors her resilience as well as her fragility." Every year I schedule myself (Kitty Mecham) to be a "Featured Artist". By doing this it makes me produce a body of work. It also forces me to get into my studio where I love to be when I am not running the gallery. This show is all "Portraits", but most are just images from my head. These pieces are more about what the person stands for, is trying to convey, or just an attitude, and not who is the person is. Also, we have the lovely Alice Osborne to entertain us during the reception!
