Cath Connolly Hudson
If you’ve seen Princess Bride, you’ll remember Miracle Max’s line when Westley is only slightly alive. He says, “It just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.”
That thought in mind, the Dead Artists Gallery is pleased to announce their four vibrantly-alive female artists, Carol Misner, Cath Connolly Hudson, Mary Lou Carpenter, and Sallie Taylor, all at their current zenith and on their way to new summits in future exhibitions.
Revel in their showings by attending an upcoming opening, Not Dead Yet 2.0. It’s Saturday, September 5, 3:00 – 5:00 P.M. at the Dead Artist Gallery, Wright Square, Highlands.
Mary Lou Carpenter
Here’s more about the legacy ladies:
Mary Lou Carpenter
Across America and around the world, you’ll find Mary Lou’s influence. Her award-winning works are included in major collections. It’s known for its vibrancy, dazzling depth, and radiant color. Images are largely contemporary skyscapes, Mary Lou’s specialties. They’re deliciously splashed, scored, and slathered on surfaces with oils, acrylics, cold wax, and more. Results: beautiful, highly textured surfaces for stunning décor.
Cath Connolly Hudson
Cath is an English-born artist now based in Highlands. Every day she’s grateful for the beauty that surrounds her and inspires her to create. She’s painted her entire life, always striving to create meaning and emotion in her work. Patrons adore her grand greens, ridges purple and blue, shapes bold as bears, still life anything but still, and portraits that are of the artist as much as the sitter. Her work’s an invitation to reconnect with the natural world.
Caro
Carol Misner
Carol Misner
Carol is known for her unique interpretation of flora. In monochromatic tones, it reflects the simple beauty, gracefulness, and fragility of the botanical it portrays. Its essence has a diaphanous, gossamer splendor – an x-ray of floral ambiance and feel. Her botanicals are gleaned from her travels, many hand-selected from the Plateau. Carol’s limited editions of giclée prints are collected worldwide.
Sallie Taylor
Sallie Taylor
It’s no surprise that Sallie had a significant hand in this project, word play intended, for she believes that who we are is a flow of symbols streaming from our subconscious to our conscious. As an artist, what symbol would be more important, complex, Jungian than the hand? And it just happens to be one of (or the) most complex image to draw/paint. Sallie says, “I believe that art expresses the symbolic forms of the intuitive connection to significant places and things that represent the human experience.”
As the Not Dead Yet exhibit approaches, Holly Watson, owner of Dead Artists Gallery, reflects on the energy behind the show. “I’m so excited to welcome four more of Highlands talented regional artists for our second Not Dead Yet exhibition. Mary Adair (the curator) really knows how to put on a show.”
Celebrate the extraordinarily live ones. This event is anything but closure: Saturday, September 5, 3:00 – 5:00 P.M. at the Dead Artist Gallery, Wright Square, Highlands.
