"Out of the Woods" February Art Exhibition at MERA

Jan 25, 2017

Three well-known and beloved local artists have come together and created an exhibition in Dean Hall at MERA for the month of February.

Come at meet these delighted people on Sunday. February 5th at 2 PM

Here is what these talented artists have to say about themselves and the chosen medium they use for their work (in alphabetical order):

Ankaret Dean:
"Living in beautiful Lanark Highlands surrounded by trees, I was drawn to their individual shapes and characteristics. Using materials found in the woods and various basketry techniques, these wall pieces represent both realistic and abstract images of trees. This is a new venture for me."
 
Rosemary Kotze:
"I love working with wool, I love the feel of the fleece, and I love seeing it and feeling it take form.  It’s kinda magical.  Needle felting is an amazing process, allowing one to both sculpt and paint with fleece.  My needle felting is inspired by the local fauna, and also by pictures of birds and animals."

Greta McDonald
"Three things I like - staring endlessly at birds, insects and plants, putting paint on wood, and watching colours move and mingle in nature - came together happily as I made these paintings."
