Description:
Glencoe Museum is pleased to announce that it will host “The Power of Dots,” by local artist Starroot. In her art, Starroot creates intriguing and vibrant paintings that reflect her distinct artistic vision. Ranging from whimsical animals to abstract creations, her works truly reveal the essence of the artist.
Starroot grew up in Southern Germany and started to create art at an early age, inspired by nature and her unlimited fantasy. She explored and practiced conscious dreaming in her early childhood. She is a completely self-taught intuitive artist. When she was 30 years old, she had a life changing Out of Body experience in a car accident. Starroot opened up more and more for visions coming to her, which she painted.
In 1986 she moved with her two children to Tennessee and then to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Spirit Beings such as aliens, angels, ferries and totem animals appear in her visions of vibrating bright colors. She calls this series "Arcturian Dreams." Now she has created over 800 paintings, most of them showing visions from dreams.
Glencoe Museum, located at 600 Unruh Drive in Radford, VA, will hold the opening reception for Starroot’s show on July 12, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. There is no admission charge, and the reception is open to the public. Refreshments will be served. The works will be on display through the beginning of September.
