EXHIBITION: Jan Ross Watercolors: People, Places, and Things
February 10 - March 10 in the Miliken Art Gallery during gallery hours - FREE
|
Jan Ross Watercolors: People, Places and Things will open in February of 2022 in the Milliken Art Gallery. Ross describes her work as ‘Up Close and Personal’ as she strives to have the viewer feel a connection to the subject matter, as if they are within reach, rather than simply being an observer at a distance. She enjoys vibrant, rich colors which are obtained by layering or ‘glazing’ transparent watercolor numerous times on 100% cotton rag paper. Ross hopes viewers will continue to look closely at the world around them rather than overlooking the beauty and fascination of People, Places and Things.
