Winter Surf by Debra Nadelhoffer
The July-August exhibit at River Gallery will feature works by Debra Nadelhoffer and Bill Suttles. There will be an opening reception on Friday from 5:30-7 p.m. The artists will be in attendance. Admission is free.
Ms. Nadelhoffer said, "I have loved color and creating since I was a child. Rainy days spent inside coloring or painting were my favorite activities. Not much has changed, a rainy day remains an invitation to turn on some beautiful music and create at the easel. Art has the power to transport the viewer to a remembered place in time. Plein air painting (painting on location) connects me to the sights, sounds and feeling of a scene. I can bring my memories of a place back into the studio through studies, sketches and photos hoping to bring more to my work than merely copying a photograph."
Mr. Suttle's painterly landscapes and figurative works in oil and pastel have appeared in galleries around the Southeast for six decades. He graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1950 and credits the great Impressionist Collection at Chicago's Art Institute and artists Wolf Kahn, Irwin Greenberg, and Coralie Tweed as inspiration for his life's work.
