ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES – ANN WATCHER, ORIGINAL OIL ARTIST
August 22 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
(FREE) Ann Watcher will be on hand to share her techniques and experience in oil paintings.
Ann’s inspiration is creating a visual experience. She describes herself as a painter of color and expression. It is not only subject matter that intrigues her, but the play of shapes and colors and light against one another whether an old house, a boat, or a velvet hat. She strives to put modern touches of different colors around the canvas to express what she feels and sees and often blends elements of realism and abstraction to create a dynamic composition. Two of her floral paintings were selected to appear in season three of the Showtime series, “Homeland” and another floral was featured in a commercial for the Levine Cancer Center in Charlotte. Duke University Medical Pavilion and Elon University have commissioned Ann’s art.
