Artists Reception for Karen Knopf and Kimberly Varnadoe

About this event

Meet the artists, Karen Kopf and Kimberly Varnadoe and learn more about their work. At 2:30 the artists will present gallery talks about the art on exhibit. Light refreshments will be served.

Karen Kopf: “Among the Feathers and Leaves”

Kopf uses gold, silver and copper leaf with an abundance of textures to fracture the light and illuminate the rich forms. Her exhibition started with a conversation about the Harpy Eagle: her mental image became women and birds as equal partners, coexisting in the same space. On canvas the idea morphed into women surrounded by birds. Other works explore plant forms.

Kimberly Varnadoe: “Radiating Spirals”

Varnadoe’s new paintings are a response to the chaotic and tumultuous experiences of today. She uses the radiating spiral as the underlying structure for these paintings to evoke a feeling of perpetual motion; a visual metaphor for the soul’s journey through transformations
