Color & Place Exhibit Opens During Spring ARTWalk Weekend at Lancaster Art Vault
Color & Place is an exploration of how color shapes our understanding and experience of place—whether real, imagined, or abstract. Featuring the work of Laura Watt, Mimi Shapiro, Ellen Silberlicht, Jennifer Domal, Karen Schory and emerging artist, Joseph Roach, this exhibition brings together artists who use color as a primary force to define landscapes, evoke environments, and reimagine spatial relationships. From vast natural expanses and urban scenes to surreal environments and abstract forms, the works in this show challenge the boundaries of how we perceive and connect to place.
Featuring a range of media including painting, photography, mixed media, and fiber art, Color & Place celebrates the power of color to define, distort, and transform our perception of the world.
Also featuring the work for the following selected artists: Ann Benton Yeager, Diann Cardello, Felicia Feemster, Jane Wolf, Jessica C. Oehme, Jordan Swartz, Kim Bricker, Kristin Whitbeck Lee, Lee Shannon, Leia Davliakos, Lindsey Cammauf, Louise Thomas, Marilyn Fox, Marlena Beiler, Morgan Scott, Nichole Madonna, Olivia Stoltzfus, Paul Engleheart, Sherrie Snyder, Steffany Minotti, Stone Stafford, Susan LePage, Terri Yacovelli, Tina Borchert, Tracy Lambros, Valerie R.
