artist reception
cathy mabius
first friday, may 7
Over the past 20 years Cathy Mabius has become known for paintings that blend impressionism and realism. Landscape, light on land forms, and atmosphere have been central focuses of her work. She has become a strong advocate of plein air (open air) painting, believing it crucial to capturing mood, light, and color. Cathy tries to convey dynamic tranquility in her work, balancing the opposites—yin and yang—to capture the life and power of a scene with a concurrent tranquility, peace, and beauty. Meet Cathy at our wine-and-cheese reception on First Friday, May 7, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. when many of her paintings will be on display. |
