For more information about the Paintbrush Gateways, contact the Arts Commission at 229-5256. Double Vision: Two Unique Insights in Fabric & Thread Jean McLaughin Cowie & Patricia Gould April 9-June 12, 2010 Both artists explore their interests in the natural world around them through the medium of quilt making. Both artists use landscape and environmental events to present the same world through two different perspectives. The exhibit will include quilted objects that transcend the traditional notion of quilt making to present work that is related to painting and sculpture. Cholla in Bloom North Rim Charleston Heights Art Center Parkside Spring Thaw "A Repository of Drumlins, from the Glittering Golden Mists to Prehistoric Boundary Markers" Lisa Bigalke Feb. 19-May 15, 2010 Lisa Bigalke’s work focuses on the natural landscape layering color, pattern and texture documenting journeys to home place. She incorporates patterns from natural objects within the landscape such as leaves, flowers, fossils and water. The spirit of each individual place comes through in color and texture used. Technically the artist combines visual and actual textures through the build up of different print media such as lithography, relief methods, silk-screen, intaglio and letter press thus adding to the rich surface of the natural textures.
