Closing Reception: Sunday March 29, 1-4 pm

Participating Artists:

Linda Bigness – Abstract Narratives in oil and encaustic paintings and constructions

Linda Widstrand – Interpreting nature using shared techniques in encaustic and oil

Five artists with very different visual sensibilities have banded together to create “DUAL NATURE – across mediums – encaustic plus one”.

Linda Bigness, Joanne Holtje, Doreen LaScola, Linda Widstrand and Neil Wilkins have embraced the challenge of creating encaustic art works that communicate with art pieces created in other paint mediums.

Free to interpret the challenge in any way they chose, each artist contributes to an exhibit that is both diverse and complimentary. It is bound primarily by the challenge itself.

The artists will be available at their opening reception at the Sprinkler Factory, 38 Harlow Street, Worcester, MA on Saturday March 7, 5-8 pm to discuss their individual methods, discoveries and challenges. The exhibit will also be open to the public during the month of March. Regular gallery hours are on Saturdays and Sundays 1-4 pm.
