Art Show Reception: Exploring Landscapes in Clay by Paul Gruner
Paul Gruner and Wendy Johnson are hosting a joint reception for their art gallery shows at the Quiet Waters Park visitor center. The reception is on Sunday, April 6, from 1:30 to 3:30. The park admission fee is waived for the reception. The art will be on exhibit through May 18th. It’s a great opportunity to buy gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s day, or weddings.
Paul Gruner will show in the Garden Gallery with his ceramics exhibit titled “Exploring Landscapes in Clay.” He states “I’m using clay vessels and slabs as canvases for abstract and impressionist landscapes, painted with glazes. Layered glazes melt and interact when fired in the kiln, and even after years of experience, I am often surprised by the results. But I love the depth and visual texture of glazes and find them a great medium for painting natural vistas.”
Wendy D. Johnson is an Artist and Art Educator. Her exhibit, in the Willow Gallery, is titled “Coastal Roots & Tranquility.” Wendy states, “As a child growing up on Cornfield Creek, I learned to love all things surrounding the Chesapeake Bay and began by illustrating lighthouses and boats. The “Coastal” artwork trend has been an inspiration to revisit my roots, painting tranquil subject matter in relation to bodies of water. I hope you find a sense of calm from my work.”
