VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

Archway Gallery presents the exhibition Fur, Feather & Field, on view June 5 – July 1, 2010.  Opening Reception: Saturday, June 5, 5 – 8 p.m. Fur, Feather & Field, the June exhibit at Archway Gallery,  features work of sculptor Andrea Wilkinson & painter Christie Coker.

Sculptor Andrea Wilkinson and painter Christie Coker showcase their artistic passion for animals and landscapes. The artists found inspiration for their art works from the animals and landscapes that define the quiet beauty found along country roads.

Andrea Wilkinson has enjoyed a lifelong love of animals which is now expressing itself in her sculpture. Working as a docent at the Houston Zoo, educating children about animals and conservation, provides her with inspiration and opportunities to observe animals. Animals often display the uninhibited playfulness of children and she tries to capture that in her work.

Christie Coker is inspired by life's little details. She invites us to take a closer look at a quiet moment she has captured from her day. Her use of color through a variety of drawing and painting media extend the long contemplative moment she shares with us.
