"Contemplating Composition"
by E. Faye Collins and Holly Wilbur

Exhibit dates: January 29 - March 1, 2008
Reception: Friday, February 1, 7 - 10 p.m. (Gallery Hop)

Artworks Gallery is presenting "Contemplating Composition", showing new work by E. Faye Collins, collages, and Holly Wilbur, photographs. E. Faye Collins' collages are combinations of etching with chine collé, photos color copied on handmade papers, and objects from nature. She states: "I strive for compositions that integrate natural and man-made objects with the same considerations I give a drawing or painting --- boundaries, perspective, balance, shapes, textures, colors, size relationships --- or inherent associations that interest me. It is still my ambition to interest viewers as well as to indulge my own pleasure in the process.” Faye is a native of the Guilford College area of Greensboro where she still lives, and a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a BFA (Magna cum laude) and MFA in painting and printmaking. She studied at Kent State Blossom Festival, Penland and Arrowmont Craft schools, and has traveled and studied art history in France and painting and art history in Italy. She has been a member of Artworks Gallery since 1989 and shown there regularly, as well as with the Gallery group shows at the Hickory Museum of Fine Art, Davidson County Museum, the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, the High Point Theater Gallery, and Meredith College Gallery in Raleigh. She has shown in Art on Paper at UNCG Weatherspoon Museum, in 2002, 1992, and 1987.
Her work was included in Dimensions, 2001 (2001), Untitled: Non-Objective Art, (1997), and Southeast Spectrum, (1996 ) all sponsored by Associated Artists of Winston-Salem. Her work has also been shown in Green Hill Center and Greensboro Artists’ League in Greensboro as well as various other venues since 1980 and is in numerous private collections. E.

Holly Wilbur's photographic images are reactions to conditions of light, color, and texture that spontaneously presented themselves, often in contrast to the hollow, non-descript, or neglected public spaces in which they occurred. Ms. Wilbur is a new member of Artworks Gallery. She is self taught and has been taking pictures for about 26 years. She finds all of her inspiration in her day to day life through her children, travels, music, nature, and architecture.
	The opening reception is Friday, February 1, 7 - 10 PM, coinciding with the Gallery Hop in the Arts District. The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. Holly Wilbur, Sunset, photograph
