November Meeting - Thursday, November 14
(moved back a week for setup of TAG Auction)
|
Our demonstrator this month is Carolyn Riegelman.
Carolyn Riegelman is an abstract painter - her main focus is the use of design and color. Spending 20 years in Southern California has had an influence in her work.
Being a layerist, her paintings evolve with each layer, making the journey spontaneous. Intuitive painting makes room for surprises as well.
Riegelman specializes in personal commission work, regularly consulting in client's homes and businesses. She enjoys collaborating with her clients and designing for their personality and interior.
She has exhibited in numerous juried competitions and has been featured in many solo shows. She has been a member of SWS and SWA where she is a signature member.
Riegelman is presently represented by The Edmund Craig Gallery on line, Swash Labs and The Classic Cafe in Roanoke.
