The Tanagers. Kate Coleman, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Through Saturday, April 30, Asheville Gallery of Art (AGA) presents Avian Skies<\/em>, an exhibition of acrylic-on-wood paintings by Kate Coleman. For this show, the artist has chosen works that feature the birds and skies of spring. \u201cI was excited to embrace the colors of spring,\u201d she says. \u201cWith this body of work I was inspired to change my colors and my palette from the ones I usually use. The results are a lot of oranges, yellows and golds. I also was interested in depicting birds that are often seen in the spring, further celebrating the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Peacock. Kate Coleman, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Coleman has been immersed in art all of her life, from childhood, to earning a degree in Fine Art, to creating a studio pottery line with her husband, to her current creative project: a love of painting that she shares with her daughter and a multi-media style that looks at birds and nature through a unique lens. \u201cI love studying birds in nature,\u201d she says. \u201cI love to witness them take to flight\u2014the beauty of that moment of the transition to the skies, or the graceful landing of a Great Blue Heron.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coleman\u2019s works also feature an educational component, as she uses paper pages from informational books about the bird in her portraits of them. \u201cAt first sight, they are a visual experience, and then as the viewer moves closer, they are an educational one,\u201d she says. \u201cThey might learn something new about a bird. Also, a lot of my landscapes include topographical maps of this area. It\u2019s always fun to find Asheville or your town included in the painting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asheville Gallery of Art is located at 82 Patton Avenue in Asheville, across from Pritchard Park. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
