Sven Swenson, of Leslie, will have have landscape images of yesterday, but his media is watercolor. Swenson’s farm scenes, landscapes and often neighbors are infused with vivid colors. Jacquelyn Kaucher, of Little Rock, will introduce large acrylic floral paintings that allow you to enjoy flowers without having a green thumb. She has been featured in “Galleries and Artists of the South”. Kaucher teaches painting classes at the Arkansas Arts Center Museum School. The mixed media works by Tom Richard of Monticello are playful with a comic book appeal. Richard received his bachelor’s degree from Louisiana State University and Master’s in Fine Arts from the University of New York in Albany. He teaches art at the University of Arkansas Monticello. His humorous works engage an audience and make you think–and think some more.

Other artists who are currently exhibiting and will introduce new works include Ed Pennebaker with a “Reflection” photography series. Jewelers Pat Bergman and Pam Phillips will have new jewelry designs. New pottery by Helen Phillips and Adrianna Morrisette will be included. Two additional artists familiar to the gallery showing new works are painters Alex Ferrara and Carol Corning.

Join us for a diverse sampling of unique works and meet these talented artists. Refreshments and music will be provided. The event is free and open to the public. If you can’t make it to the reception the gallery is open Tuesday through Friday 10-5:30. The spring exhibit will be on display through mid June.

If you grew up in rural America you won’t want to miss the spring exhibit opening reception, Friday, March 19, from 6-8 p.m. at the Fresh Air Art Gallery, 358 Main Street, Clinton. Jim Mayfield of Springfield, Missouri will exhibit emotional, soulful black & white photographs of a simpler time, fraught with hard work and people who lived off the land. His subjects are people and places he has encountered in the hills of the Ozarks. Mayfield has spent the past 35 years carrying a camera. Blessed with patience, he and his camera have captured images that almost come to life, reminding us of who we are. He has operated his own photography studio for the past 35 years and worked at a Gannett newspaper for 10 years. Mayfield spent two years working on a special project for John Morris and Bass Pro shops documenting the seasonal changes of ten thousand acres-called Dogwood Canyon in the Ozarks.Sven Swenson, of Leslie, will have have landscape images of yesterday, but his media is watercolor.
