Anne Cunningham - Surface View, 12 x 48" Copper on panel, $1250 Anne Cunningham Since 1990, Anne Cunningham has been on an exciting exploration using metals such as copper, brass, and aluminum to create free-form wall sculptures. “Every day is an experiment” discovering new ways to texturize and shape the metals, layering with papers, weaving cut strips, applying inks, dyes, chemicals and paints. With no constricting boundaries, her work continues to change and evolve. Cunningham’s work is represented by distinguished galleries around the country and in Private and Corporate Collections such as S.A.S. Institute, Duke Medical Center, Bank of Birmingham, Marriott International, Carolina Power & Light, Wake Medical Centers and United Health Care, Salt. Lake City. Cunningham’s work was voted “Best of North Carolina Artists, First Place in Mixed Media.” Liz Hosier - Ebb Tide, Oil/Cold Wax on 24 x 24" panel, $800 Liz Hosier I believe that Art is that process of seeking truth through color, light and form inspired by sight, feeling and contemplation supported by life experiences. My work reflects my love of nature and travel, while my obsession with colors and light give me inspiration. I find my best work starts with the simplest of ideas that allows me the freedom to explore new techniques, color and materials rather than following a well-worn path. Currently, my painting is process-based abstraction using a variety of mediums including oil/cold wax, acrylic and encaustics. I also enjoy teaching cold wax/ oil workshops at the Cameron Museum of Art finding that the give and take within a workshop is a learning opportunity for both my students and me. My work can be seen at ACME Art Studios as well as in various art shows and exhibitions in the Cape Fear region.

Katherine Wolf Webb - 3 pm, 12 x 12" Mixed Media, $200 Katherine Wolf Webb A native of the south, Katherine was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and spent her childhood in Georgia. At the tender age of 7, Katherine’s mother gave her a watercolor palette and she began experimenting to see how many color variations she could create. The experimentation continues today… Katherine’s interest in the arts grew as she did, excelling in music, sewing, drawing and painting during her high school years in Charlotte, N.C. She went on to Hollins College to earn a BA degree. However, her real education was a year at the Sorbonne in Paris. This opened up new avenues of European culture as did visits to England, Scandinavia, Russia, Germany, Romania, Greece, Turkey and Italy. Katherine is an avid gardener, lover of animals and keeper of chickens! She nurtures her work through her love of nature and its rhythms while continuing to joyously (most of the time) study, show, paint, sculpt and create…
