Show Dates: December 4, 2009—January 23, 2010
Opening Reception: IDADA First Friday December 4, 2009, 5-9pm.

From the studio of Creative Renewal Fellow, Gayla Hodson, and inspired by a recent trip to the Butchart Gardens, Victoria, BC, comes “Northern Blooms.”

Flowers are not just flowers. They have a deeper meaning, a life and soul of their own. Their essence speaks to the heart, filling the senses with vibrant color, symmetry, design, patterns, and intoxicating perfumes. The beauty of gardens creates a sanctuary, a place of deep, silent understanding.

“My artistic inspiration and intuition takes my painting beyond the limits of my color pallet and canvas. I have received the gifts of flowers, and am now bringing those gifts to you in abstract, representational paintings rich with texture in layers of color and light, and abundant with poetry in the language of paint,” says Hodson.

Come in and enjoy at AV Framing Gallery.  As always, you will be welcomed!

The Indianapolis Art Center is presenting its Annual Faculty Exhibit. This is an excellent way to view the wide range of work coming from the faculty. Because the Art Center has so many faculty we have to split the exhibition alphabetically to accommodate. This year we are in the "L-Z" rotation.

All faculty at the Art Center are also Artist Members and perform a vital service to our core mission. Don't miss this glimpse into the diverse talent of the Indianapolis Art Center faculty. It is a truly strong exhibition.

Also on display are the Best of the Student Show 2008-09 Divisional Award Winners and Best of Show Exhibition, Faculty of the Year Shirley Werner Carr, prints by Pat Herring, and recent paintings by Gayla Hodson.
