‘A World Tour’
Watercolor Exhibit
Featured At Sunset River May-June
Press
Release
April 26, 2005 – Calabash,
North Carolina (NC) - An exhibit of new watercolors by Joan Sanders
is being featured at Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash, NC from
May 2 through June 18. The show,
which is entitled “A World Tour,” is a collection of works inspired
by Sunders’ many trips through Europe, China and the United States.
Sanders, originally from Long
Island, New York, has lived in Calabash, North Carolina with her
husband for over 10 years. She is well known for her vibrant
watercolors of European and local scenes. “Color is what inspires
me,” says Sanders, “and I love painting water. Some of the paintings
in this show feature water as part of the theme.” The artist feels
her early experience in oil painting had added a richness and depth
to her work that is not often associated with watercolor. Her scenic
detail allows us to experience along with her the quaintness of a
German town or the exuberance of a Parisian flower market.
Sanders is a member of the
Watercolor Society of North Carolina as well as the Wilmington Art
Association, Waterway Art Association and Waccamaw Arts & Crafts
Guild.
On Saturday afternoon, June
11, from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m., Sunset River Marketplace will be holding
its third anniversary reception, at which gallery visitors will be
able to meet Joan Sanders and many other artists who exhibit at the
gallery.
Sunset River Marketplace has,
since opening in 2002, become an important artistic center for
Brunswick County. In its 10,000 square-foot space, many local and
regional artists working in a wide range of media are represented.
The facility also offers custom, on-site framing as well as art
classes and workshops, including after-school and summer programs
for children.
The gallery is located on NC
179, just one-eighth mile from the South Carolina border. Hours are
Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Call 910-575-5999 for more
information or directions. Visit the website at
