Nancy Hayes and Nanu LaRosee
July 31 - September 1, 2012

Meet the Artists at the Gallery Hop: Friday, August 3, 7 - 10 pm

Artworks Gallery presents a two-person exhibit of acrylic paintings by Nancy Hayes and Nanu LaRosee.

Nancy Hayes continues a theme developed over several years of paying homage to Earth’s creatures from the back porch to the back woods and beyond. Within the artist’s vision is a joyful and personal engagement with the wild subjects. We are asked to consider how we can revel in the beauty of our world without crossing the line to overuse and abuse of its limited resources.

Nanu Lindgren LaRosee has been making quick sketches during her lunch break outside the library where she works, concentrating on creating strong compositions that describe the space even while flattening it out. She used the drawings as a basis for these larger paintings, using her memory and imagination for color, ending up freely interpreting the objects in her drawings in order to make the paintings have an internal logic.

Nanu Lindgren LaRosee was in the High School visual arts program at UNCSA before receiving a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis.

The exhibit is free and open to the public.
