Our upcoming Featured Artists are CGA members Sonia Kane and Dona McNeill.

‘Travels Near and Far’ by painter Sonia Kane: “When I travel, whether near or far, I try to look at the world through eyes of wonder, always ready to be surprised and delighted. This collection of original oil paintings was inspired by many such wondrous moments and my hope is that they will bring you a sense of peace.” Sonia is inspired primarily by light. “Whether landscapes, animals, water, or flowers, I’m drawn to every aspect of light. The nuanced colors of reflected light, the drama of backlighting, the glow of sunlight shining through translucent flowers, the shapes of shadows cast by the sun … all inspire my oil paintings.” – Sonia

‘Golden Bright Beings’ by ceramist Dona McNeill: “Throughout my career I have explored ideas and feelings through the arts.  I continue to be fascinated by discoveries of pattern, color and playfulness in clay and mixed materials. Transformations of the elements, through fire, into an object that can be held in your hand seems quite magical. I work with Raku and high-fired stoneware processes to produce table-sized ‘Spirit Guides’ and functional ceramic vessels.” – Dona

Join us for the Opening Reception! Come chat with the artists about their work over a relaxing glass of wine and light refreshments. The reception is part of Cary’s Final Friday Art Loop. The show runs to August 27.
