Maud Gatewood (1934-2004) was a major figure on the art scene in North Carolina in the second half of the 20th century. She is known for her patterned landscapes in rural settings. This exhibition focuses on her works on paper--watercolors, drawings, prints and oil on paper. Gatewood was born in Yanceyville in Caswell County. She taught at Queens College in Charlotte and at Averett University in Danville, VA. Her works are in a number of museum collections in North Carolina and the studio art building at UNC-Greensboro is named for her.

The three painters in this show, each with his or her own distinct style, have never shown together before. This marks the first time Charles Ladson and Sherry Sanabria have shown at this gallery. The common binder in this show is that each painter employs structures--some recognizable and some not--in his or her work.

Gregory Dowler Ivy was the first modern artist to live in North Carolina. He created the art department at Woman’s College (UNC-G), founded the Weatherspoon Art Museum and the Durham Art Guild. While he was in Greensboro, his art department was ranked in the top twenty in the nation. He was very influential in North Carolina’s 20th century cultural life, and he was mentor to scores of artists including those in this exhibition which honors him.

Ben Berns:

view more images from the show |
Precision drawings and paintings of rural landscapes in North Carolina, Montana and Wyoming will fill the exhibition spaces at Lee Hansley Gallery in Raleigh's Glenwood South beginning Feb. 26. The images are by Ben Berns (1936-2007), the Dutch born artist who spent a good part of his life in Greensboro. The gallery was recently selected to represent the late artist, a former professor of art at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. This exhibition marks the first show of works by Berns in over fifteen years.
Berns was proficient at both painting and drawing. He started out as a sculptor but quickly was recognized for his ability to draw. Upon initial encounter by viewers, his graphite works are often mistaken as photographs due in large part to their extremely precise detail. However, when examined at close range, the mark making approaches abstraction. "And keep in mind that these pieces were done at very close range," said gallery owner Lee Hansley, who organized the show. "That means the artist developed a method of drawing that, when viewed from a short distance, the marks coalesced into realistic representation," he added.
One drawing in the exhibition, entitled Boseman, Montana, is a four-panel work on paper. Each panel is 72 x 48 inches, creating a polyptych that is an amazing six feet tall by 16 feet wide when place side-to-side. In the gallery, there was no wall wide enough to accommodate that configuration, so the panels were "folded" into a corner, taking up space on two perpendicular walls.
Yet another drawing in the show is a sweeping view of the Wyoming hills that is 96 inches wide. Gallery owner Hansley added, "I cannot imagine any finer drawings ever exhibited in North Carolina than those in this show...not even in a museum setting."
While Berns was accomplished with graphite, he added color and turned to painting in the last 30 years of his life. He was fond of the Sauratown Mountains in Stokes County, north of his home in Greensboro, and he painted scores of works there. He later moved to Maryland where he began painting wetlands and landscapes with water features like rivers, ponds and lakes.
It is interesting to note the absence of humans in the Berns landscape. Occasionally, the viewer will see a plowed field, a garden or a small structure among the lush, verdant scenes. But the viewer will see no human beings, just some evidence of human presence.
Berns was born in Ginnejen, The Netherlands, on May 15, 1936. Encouraged by his mother, he began painting at age eight. Bored with school, Berns quit at 14 and went to work in a printery. He later apprenticed with a lithographer in Amsterdam. He served his required two-year stint in the Dutch army and then settled in Paris, absorbing himself in the art scene for five years.
He immigrated to the United States in 1963 on an invitation of Pratt Graphic Art Center, where he taught printmaking. He supported himself by building lofts in the Soho section of Manhattan. While in New York City he sold Japanese prints and operated an art gallery.
In 1970 Berns was invited to teach painting and drawing at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In his second year there, he was awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship. He remained at UNC-G until 1982 when he left the university to paint full-time. He continued to live in Greensboro, later moving to Maryland where he split his time between Maryland and New York City.
The artist's first solo exhibition was in Amsterdam in 1965. It was followed by one-man shows in New York City, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Memphis and Raleigh. He had been in scores of group landscape shows.
Ben Berns died in Virginia in February 2007. He was 70 years old.
Works by Berns live after him and have made their way to some of the world's great museums including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the British Museum in London and theMusee Cantini in Marseille , France. In this country his works are found in the collections of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., The New York Public Library, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Brooklyn College in New York, the Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford, Conn., the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
In North Carolina, Berns' work may be found in the North Carolina Museum of Art, the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro and the Greenville Museum of Art.
His works are in scores of major national corporate collections including the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, N.Y., Coca-Cola in Atlanta, The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States in New York, American Express in New York , Prudential Life in Newark, N.J., Sears in Chicago, Morgan Stanley-Dean Witter and the Bank of New York, among others. Locally his work is in the collection of GlaxoSmithKline, Duke University Medical Center and Mitsubishi.

Three Solo Painting Exhibitions

view more images from the show |
Public Reception: Sunday, October 17th, 2 - 5 p.m.
Three artists working in very different styles are featured in the current trio of solo shows. Sam Shelby of Roanoke Rapids is a trained commercial artist who turned to fine art. This body of work is characterized by a looser style than exemplified in prior exhibitions. All his works are rooted in the Eastern North Carolina and Southside Virginia landscape.
George Handy of Asheville is familiar to most gallery patrons as a potter. However, a few years ago, George's studio was lost in an auto accident and he turned to painting. His abstract relief paintings bear the same gestural markings and floating forms as did the surface decoration on his ceramic works.
Kenneth Peters of Raleigh is new to the gallery. His oil paintings of Victorian houses called to mind Edward Hopper, but with a limited pallet.
Lilo Kemper: Clayworks

Public Reception: Sunday, September 12th, 2 - 5 p.m.
Lilo Kemper has been making pots and showing them publicly since 1985 when she retired from her work in the pathology lab at Duke University Medical Center. She was an active potter until 2005 when health issues caused her to cease working. Lilo, who is now 90, was never a production potter; each firing produced another body of work demonstrating leaps in her development as a clay artist. This exhibition, which consists mostly of pieces loaned by collectors from the Triangle, is the first survey examination of her artistic output. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition; it was funded by gifts from her friends and collectors of her work.
This exhibition is comprised of scores of works borrowed from private collections. The pots illustrated here are available for sale. For questions and prices, contact the gallery at 919.828.7557 or email the gallery at [email protected].
Catalogues are available at the gallery for $10 or $12 via the mail.

Featuring: Matt Amante, Autumn Brown, September Krueger,
Molly Strader and Jennifer Wells
This exhibition features the works of four recent MFA graduates from the metals program and one from the fiber program at the East Carolina University School of Art and Design. The works included in the show are extraordinary and are on the level with seasoned, mature artists. –Lee Hansley
Matthew Giovanni Amante is a sculptor originally from Michigan. His undergraduate work was done at Western Michigan University where he studied Art Education and English Education while earning the majority of his elective credits in Sculpture. After graduation he accepted a position teaching high school art in Darlington, South Carolina. After teaching there for 2 1/2 years he came to ECU to earn his MFA in sculpture.
Amante’s work deals with stone as an inspiration, stemming from a childhood interest in collecting rocks. These sculptures take ideas from sculptural processes, Chinese aesthetic criteria having to do with “Scholars’ Rocks”, and geology. The work focuses on blending and transforming these concepts into sculptural form. “The Transformation of Stone” is the title of his thesis exhibition and contains sculpture separated into three MFA 2010 necklacecategories: “Geological Impressions”, “Scholars’ Rocks”, and “Outdoor Sculpture.” This body of work uses a variety of process and materials including, cast bronze, cast iron, wood, and fabricated steel to express his ideas.
Autumn Brown is a native of Augusta, Georgia. After receiving her BFA in metalwork from the University of Georgia she came to East Carolina University to pursue her Masters in metal design. After graduation, Autumn plans to begin her teaching career instructing students in the summer metalworking class at Interlochen Arts Center in Interlochen, Michigan.
September Krueger completed her undergraduate studies in Textile Design at Philadelphia University. She worked in a wearable art studio producing a line of women's clothing prior to her graduate studies. Her work focuses on storytelling, using silkscreened motifs to develop the images. Details are sketched onto the final surface of her textiles using the sewing machine and hand embroidery.
Molly Strader was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1979. She obtained her Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with a major in metalsmithing and a minor in ceramics and sculpture in May 2004. Ms. Strader graduated Magnum Cum Laude, and with Departmental Honors from the University of Toledo, Department of Art. She completed a Small Business Management certificate from Florida Keys Community College in 2005, and her Masters of Fine Art in metalsmithing and jewelry design from East Carolina University in 2010.
Growing up Ms. Strader was surrounded with art; her mother was a painter, interested in cultural arts of the Native Americans as well as other native and ancient cultures. Her father was an engineer and owned a travel agency. For two summers in the mid 90’s she traveled to Bali, Indonesia, to study Balinese culture, dance, and work under a master wood carver. That trip and subsequent studies set Strader on a life long journey concentrating on her artwork and developing her views of simplicity and oneness with nature within the art. Creating artwork was an essential part of Strader’s youth and still is today, along with her continued interest in the world’s cultures. She has taught metalsmithing at MFA 2010 paintingFlorida Keys Community College through the Continuing Education Department, as well as private lessons out of her studio. Strader continues to design and create new work in her studio; her work has won many awards in shows nationwide.
Jennifer Wells completed her BFA in Craft and Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2006. She emphasized in Metal Design within the Craft and Material Studies Department, under James Meyer and Susie Ganch. After graduation Jennifer took a year off from school to go adventuring on a several months long sailing trip to the Bahaman Islands. She is presently an MFA candidate at East Carolina University with Linda Darty, Bob Ebendorf, Tim Lazure and Mi-Sook Hur. Jennifer has been very fortunate and been able to travel to Europe several times. Her more recent trips to Switzerland and Italy have left a lasting impression which permeates her artwork.

The Paul Hartley LegacyJanuary 17 thru February 27, 2010
This exhibition is at both Lee Hansley Gallery locations: Lee Hansley Gallery (225 Glenwood Ave) Public Reception: Sunday, January 17th, 2 - 5 p.m. Read Salisbury Post Article » Lee Hansley Gallery and Lee Hansley Gallery, Too presents "The Paul Hartley Legacy," an exhibition honoring the memory of the late painter from East Carolina University who died Thanksgiving Day. Hartley's influence lives on through the work of his students; over 100 of them are included in this exhibition, the largest exhibition ever held in a commercial gallery in North Carolina. The artists are from 17 states and India and many are art professors themselves. Paul Hartley had more student contact hour than any art professor ever in the state university system. His influence is great and far reaching and his inspiration is without bounds. A committee of eight identified the outstanding students who should be invited to honor Paul Hartley through their work. Each is represented by work in the exhibition. Many are unaware that East Carolina University’s School of Art is the oldest and largest accredited art school in the South. Paul Hartley taught there for 37 years and most of that time was the head of the painting department. His work was the subject of a recent exhibition at Lee Hansley Gallery and featured old work and new work. The North Carolina Museum of Art acquired a Hartley painting from that exhibition. The Paul Hartley Legend show is so large it will be housed in both galleries. Exhibitions run through Feb. 27. A book featuring over 100 tributes to the late artist was published by the gallery in conjunction with the exhibition and is available at the gallery. The book cost 10 dollars. Books may be purchased by contacting the gallery at 919.828.7557 |

THIS EXHIBITION AND RECEPTION IS AT 126 GLENWOOD AVE
Vincent Mastracco, an abstractionist through and through, was a personal friend of the late Sam Tarlton. It is fitting that this exhibition of 20 works by Mastracco honor the memory of Tarlton. Tarlton introduced Mastracco to Lee Hansley Gallery in 1999 and today the gallery represents the artist's estate of works. The paintings are characterized by layer upon layer of oil paint and a heavy application of paint over an armature of a formalized geographic framework.
Paul
Hartley: Looking Back
|
view more images from the show |
Reception for the Artist: Sunday, September 20th, 2 - 5 p.m.
This is the largest exhibition of Paul Hartley’s work ever held at the gallery. The show features 55 paintings covering the last two decades of work by the Greenville painter. Hartley, a native of Atlanta, earned his MFA at East Carolina University and returned there to teach art. He was on the faculty for 33 years and was head of the painting program until his retirement last year. While this is not a true retrospective, the show does reflect the artist’s style, technique and subject matter of his mature oeuvre as a painter. Some paintings are narrative, some have art historical references and some simply celebrate the beauty of an isolated common object. Few would disagree that Paul Hartley is the most skilled painter working in North Carolina today.

Lisa Neher and Kevin Mayer, two artists who have shown with us in the past in group exhibitions, are having their first solo shows at the gallery. Lisa Neher's paintings are all done on the Outer Banks of North Carolina from the area around Duck down to Ocracoke. In her oil paintings, she captures the uniqueness of the architecture of Nags Head, the quaintness of Ocracoke with its wild ponies, the majesty of the lighthouses at Bodie Island and at Buxton as well as the fishing village atmosphere of Hatteras. Neher is from Falls Church, Virginia. Kevin Mayer, a native of Chapel Hill, rediscovers the charm of the agrarian aspect of his home state. These nine intimate paintings are the result of his spending the summer in Chatham painting. Mayer graduated from UNCG with a degree in French. He studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and the Art Students League in New York City. Mayer currently lives in Leesville, New York.

Opening reception: Sunday, May 3rd, from 2-5 p.m.
The 22 large-scale photographic images in this
exhibition were all taken from a tidal pool on the west end of Emerald
Isle on North Carolina's central coast. They are deceptive
in that their scale is ambiguous. A number of the works appear
to be aerial photographs but they were taken at ground level. This
marks Kolkin's second solo show at the gallery.

Opening reception: Sunday, October 26th, from 2-5 p.m.
Paintings by Bernard Martin of Richmond and a new body of sculpture by Roger Halligan of Chattanooga comprise the current exhibition. Prior to this show the artists had not met and their work was paired not because of any thematic or design similarities but because the two series have little in common and are ideal compliments. Martin's narrative paintings, most of which are based on classic comic book covers with an art historical twist, are show alongside the three-dimensional works by Halligan, works which deal with the more formal aspects of art--juxtaposition of various organic shapes as well as color harmony and contrast.
This is Martin's first major show at the gallery, though he has been involved in group exhibitions in the past. He is professor emeritis at Virginia Commonwealth University. He maintains a studio in downtown Richmond where he paints fulltime. Martin has work in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond and at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk as well as the Smithsonian's American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
Halligan, who has shown with the gallery since it opened, has works in a number of public collections including the City of Raleigh, the North Carolina Zoological Park in Asheboro, the Maitland Art Center in Florida and the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro. He is a founding member of the Tri-State Sculptor's Guild and is listed in Who's Who in American Art. He shares Two Oaks Studio with his artist partner Jan Chenoweth in Chattanooga.

Opening reception: Sunday, 15 June, from 2-5 p.m.
This show marks the fifth Howard Thomas exhibition organized and hosted by the gallery. Thomas (1899-1971) is most identified with the University of Georgia where he was professor of art for two decades. He also taught painting at UNC-Greensboro in 1942-43. This exhibition begins with early painting that date back to his North Carolina days and follows his development from a representational, expressionistic painter through his mature, lyrically abstract paintings that are his hallmark. Works by Howard Thomas are in over 30 museum collections nationally including the Smithsonian's American Art Museum, the High Museum of Art, the Georgia Museum and the North Carolina Museum of Art.
Tom Turner, master potter, moved to Mars Hill, N.C., three years ago after a career in clay that included establishing the ceramics program at Clemson University in South Carolina. He is considered one of the leading porcelain potters working today. His works have their basis in classical vase and jar forms which are adorned with colorful and inventive glaze techniques and surface decoration.

Opening reception: Sunday, 4 May, from 2-5 p.m.
Closing reception: Friday, 6 June, from 7-10 p.m.
Nona Short is one of North Carolina's leading photographers.
She has been active for the past four decades and is founder of the
North Carolina Photographers Annual competition. She taught Latin
and photography at Meredith College in Raleigh beginning in 1963
until her retirement three years ago. Her photographs of nature and
architecture are marked by a straight-forward, honest approach in
which she confronts her subject matter head-on. Nona displays a love
of rural life perhaps because she comes from a very small town in
western Tennessee.
Concurrent with the Nona Short exhibition is a show and sale of North
Carolina pottery. Included are works by Ben Owen, Jugtown, A.R. Cole,
Neolia Cole and Kenneth George, Conrad Weiser, Sally Bowen Prange,
Mark Hewitt and others.

Lynch

Public Reception: Sunday, March 23, from 2 until 5 p.m.
Gerry Lynch’s first exhibition with the gallery
features 18 works executed over the last three years. Most
are large scale abstraction on paper employing a variety of media. The
works are abstract expressions of the artist’s interpretations
of people, places and events in her life.
Her work is paired with the sculpture of Hanna Jubran,
professor of art at East Carolina University. Jubran’s
work in this exhibition incorporates stainless steel, bronze, soapstone
and marble. A trademark of his work is applying bronze to stone
and there are several pieces that illustrate that combination of
materials.
The paintings and sculptures complement one another remarkably well. There
is a shared aesthetic interest in shapes both with the painter and
the sculptor that makes for a harmonious marriage.
Fifteen: An Exhibition Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Lee Hansley Gallery17 February thru 19 March 2008
Birthday Party : Over 50 artists whose works have figured prominently on the walls of the gallery since it opened on Feb. 5, 1993, have submitted works to commemorate the gallery's landmark anniversary. Artists were asked to consider the number 15 in creating their works, and a free-wheeling variety of clever interpretations of the theme has resulted. Some are more obvious than others. Join us for a creative exhibition honoring our first 15 years of service to North Carolina art patrons. Featured artists:

Vincent
Mastracco:

Vincent Mastracco's paintings are characterized by heavy applications of paint generally in an organized pattern. His paintings are about the act of painting and are purely abstract in origin. Often the viewer will discern and underlying grid as the armature of the work. In some cases the grid is obvious and is an integral part of the painting. Mastracco's paint is applied generously and thickly employing a variety of tools, including but not restricted to his fingers. The artist was born in 1941 and died in 2001 at the age of 59. His studio was in the World Financial Center in Lower Manhattan and he spent the weekends in his country home in Washington Depot, Conn. He died of a heart attack prior to the September 11th terrorist attacks. The building where his studio was located was damaged, but not destroyed. Mastracco was labeled a “second generation abstract expressionist” in a New York Times review of one of his exhibitions.
Ruth Pinnell's exhibition of silver gelatin prints includes a portfolio of works the artist did on two trips to Iceland as well as a suite of related images grouped together in a single frame. Another suite of work has a rooftop theme. Pinnell lives in Durham and teaches photography in Durham, Carrboro and Thomasville.

Jody dePew McLeane: Pastel DrawingsThor Bueno: Glass WorksOctober 12 - November 10, 2007Reception:
Jody dePew McLeane is one of the leading pastel artists in the nation. She employs a century old technique (similar to the method used by Edgar Degas) to create her imagined interiors and her nostalgic still lifes. Her use of light is skillful and her color is rich. This exhibition incorporates works completed in the last two years. Thor Bueno teaches and works out of a studio at the Penland School of Crafts.

Paul Harley: New Paintings
This exhibition features the two-year output of this East Carolina
University painting professor. It includes some of his classic paintings
in which he isolates a single realistic object or image over a background
of abstraction. A few allegorical paintings compliment the exhibition.
Hartley is a Charlotte native who grew up in Atlanta and earned an
art degree at the University of North Texas and his MFA at East Carolina
University. He has been teaching full time at ECU since 1975. After
next year he will retire from teaching and devote his time to painting.
Paul Hartley has earned the respect of thousands of art students
and hundreds of patrons over the decades and is considered one of
North Carolina's best painters.
Secondary Market Works
Visitors to the gallery never know what might be in store for them.
When they engage gallery personnel in conversation, they realize
that the gallery has a storehouse of art--much of it of historical
nature from estates or collectors who are selling all or parts of
their collections. The gallery has mounted a secondary market show
that runs concurrently with the Hartley exhibition. It consists of
a number of works by well-known local, regional and national artists.
Works are removed as they are purchased and new works are brought
out to replace them, meaning the gallery is ever changing. Don't
miss the opportunity to see a beautiful watercolor by Washington,
D.C.'s Patricia Tobacco Forrester, paintings by New York's David
Kapp, a beautiful abstract painting by the late Edith London, or
a barnacle glazed porcelain by the recently deceased Sally Bowen
Prange.

Charlotte
Robinson: A Retrospective
|
view more images from the show |
Curated by McDonald Bane and Lee Hansley, long-time friends of the artist, this exhibition surveys over 40 years of artistic output of this Washington, D.C. painter. The viewer will observe four distinct stages in her work beginning with abstraction and moving through major art movements of her time as an artist. However, Charlotte Robinson has always had her own distinct voice in art, regardless of the current mode of expression or the media employed to make the art. She has almost always derived her work from natural sources--most particularly water.
Robinson, a Texas native, is first and foremost a colorist. Her work is most assuredly about the expression of vivid color and its power to evoke feeling, and this, along with her signature expressive brushwork provides a language for Charlotte's artistic comments on the environment and man's relationship to it.
The show is as much about Charlotte Robinson, the woman, as it is
about her artwork. She has spent years in the political trenches
of the woman's art movement, is credited with organizing the school
at The Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia, and spent
a decade on an exhibition that brought famous women artists and traditional
quilt-makers together for the first time in a show that traveled
for three years to 19 venues nationally.
This exhibition, containing over 35 works of art, is accompanied by a fully illustrated color catalogue. It features an essay by Andrea Pollan, an independent curator in Washington, D.C., and an essay by New York author Eleanor Munro. The catalogue is available at the gallery as are two books, Charlotte Robinson's The Artist and The Quilt, and Lives and Works: Talks with Women Artists, which features an interview with Robinson.
This exhibition at Lee Hansley Gallery is the first stop of a national tour planned for this show.

Both these artists are alumni of the College of Design at N.C. State University. Joyce Watkins King, who is showing here for the first time, is a native of Oxford, N.C., and has lived in Raleigh since 1975. Most of her professional life has been dedicated to marketing and development for nonprofits. Her art medium has been painting and her subject matter representational until three years ago when she studied at the Penland School. Since that time she has been creating abstract images employing a wide variety of media.
Luke Buchanan, who has been in thee group shows here prior to this exhibition, graduated from the College of Design at NCSU in 2002 with a degree in environmental design and architecture. He was born in Morristown, N.J., and moved to Raleigh with his parents when he was 8 years old. He graduated from Enloe High School. Buchanan's paintings deal primarily with space and the history of place. He uses a photomontague technique in building his paintings and often incorporates objects found at the site in his works.

THE SOUTHERN LANDSCAPEAugust 25 - September 30, 2006Reception:
This exhibition explores in a variety of media the visual manifestation of the essence of the South, particularly the mid-Atlantic region. This show’s inspirations come from the flora, the vernacular and formal architecture,the maritime influence and the mysterious mountains, the lush vegetation, suburbia, cultural iconography, the lowlands, the wetlands and vast expanses of fields and forests, the inhabited and the uninhabited land. Capturing scenes from everyday life are painters Andras Bality of Richmond along with the somewhat quirky and humorous paintings by Kirk Fanelly of Charlotte. Drawing inspiration from the mountains are painters Elizabeth Bradford of Davidson, Robert Dance of Kinston, John Borden Evans of North Garden, Va., Maryann Harman of Blacksburg, Va., and Chis Stephens of Front Royal, Va. Coastal scenes are depicted in drawings by Ben Berns of Fairfax, Va., and also by Robert Dance. Margaret Peery of Charleston, S.C., derives her imagery in her watercolors from the Low Country of South Carolina Painters Joyce Fillip of Raleigh and Barbara Fisher of Asheville explore southern symbols, real and surreal, while drawings by Robert Marsh of Danville, Va., depict southern classic landmarks like front steps, a family cemetery and a golf course. Expressive painters Richard Fennell of Whitsett, Richard Marshall of Raleigh, Sam Shelby of Roanoke Rapids, Bruce Shores of Greensboro and Breck Smith of Holly Springs paint what they know best, the landscapes they see around them. Painter Charlotte Robinson of Falls Church, Va., documents her impression of an early morning sunrise over the Atlantic at 15-minute intervals. Painters Wayne McDowell of Wilmington and Lisa Neher of Falls Church, Va., also derive their imagery from the coast. Sculptors Lin Barnhardt of Mt. Pleasant, N.C., and Marie Ringwald of Washington, D.C., and ceramist Ronan Peterson of Chapel Hill contribute three-dimensional works to the show in an attempt to stretch the idea of landscape beyond the painting surface.
