She and her husband met Ann DerGara at Red Wolf Gallery, and Chapman says it was her husband who \u201ccajoled\u201d DerGara into giving her lessons in acrylic painting. \u201cShe taught me the basics and how to \u2018see\u2019 objects and sketch them with paint,\u201d Chapman says. \u201cI learned a lot. Such a wonderful thing to let the stresses of life and daily routine go when you\u2019re concentrating on your creativity.\u201d She worked with DerGara for three years during weekly lessons, had her work displayed at Red Wolf Gallery and then began taking workshops in other mediums and techniques such as oil and cold wax, plein air and abstraction.<\/p>\n<p>Workshops have taken her as far afield as Ballycastle, Ireland and Ghost Ranch in New Mexico and to points closer to home. \u201cIt has been a grand time meeting artists from all over the country and world on my art workshop journeys,\u201d she says. \u201cSuch generous, talented people whom I continue to stay connected to.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_49023\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49023\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49023\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist-Trio-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist-Trio-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist-Trio-copy-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist-Trio-copy-1024x394.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist-Trio-copy-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist-Trio-copy-810x312.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist-Trio-copy-1140x439.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-49023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(From left) Abstract 7; Raven; Beautiful Day at Lake Toxaway. Maureen Chapman, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Her artistic past included 20 years of work in technical drafting, which she loved and considered her art form at the time. \u201cI loved the vellum, my Rapidograph technical pens, the ink and, of course, my Pentel pencils,\u201d she says. Over the years, she also explored fiber arts, pottery and One Stroke painting.<\/p>\n<p>She finds herself especially drawn to plein air painting. \u201cAs I drive around, I find myself always scoping out a good spot to paint,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen painting outside, I feel connected with nature. It\u2019s a very peaceful experience. Time flies. It has also helped to inspire my studio work a great deal, and has helped me paint intuitively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Involvement in shows at the Transylvania and Henderson county arts councils keeps her busy and inspired. Last year she was the featured artist for the first annual Art is in the Air En Plein Air Arts Festival sponsored by Heart of Brevard, and she is currently painting a fiberglass bear for Henderson County\u2019s 2022 Bearfootin\u2019 Art Walk. The themed bears will be on display this summer and fall prior to the auction that raises funds for area nonprofits and Downtown Hendersonville. \u201cEvery time I paint,\u201d Chapman says, \u201cmy goal is to express nature, capturing its beauty and animating spirit through colors, shapes and textures.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_49026\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49026\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49026\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist_-MAUREEN-CHAPMAN-The-Wall-at-Lake-Jocassee.-Maureen-Chapman-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist_-MAUREEN-CHAPMAN-The-Wall-at-Lake-Jocassee.-Maureen-Chapman-artist.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist_-MAUREEN-CHAPMAN-The-Wall-at-Lake-Jocassee.-Maureen-Chapman-artist-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist_-MAUREEN-CHAPMAN-The-Wall-at-Lake-Jocassee.-Maureen-Chapman-artist-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist_-MAUREEN-CHAPMAN-The-Wall-at-Lake-Jocassee.-Maureen-Chapman-artist-768x307.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist_-MAUREEN-CHAPMAN-The-Wall-at-Lake-Jocassee.-Maureen-Chapman-artist-810x324.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cover-Artist_-MAUREEN-CHAPMAN-The-Wall-at-Lake-Jocassee.-Maureen-Chapman-artist-1140x456.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-49026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Wall at Lake Jocassee.

Each season brings new palette choices. I find myself daydreaming about color combinations. How can I mix that sky color or paint that pasture scene? Which green would I use?
