Description:
Glencoe Mansion, Museum & Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the gallery exhibit “Searching the Blue,” featuring the works of painter Felta Virginia. The Gallery will host an opening reception on Tuesday, May 14, 2019 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

“Searching the Blue” is a retrospective of twenty years of work while growing a family, exploring the spirit, and experimenting freely with ideas and techniques across realism, expressionism and abstraction.

In Felta’s work calligraphic black line is used to enhance color and contrast but also to express power and energy, as well as that struggle between personal discipline and personal freedom. Balance of composition is found in asymmetry. This collection of work is held together by a search for the color blue, which can represent the spirit, the sky, shadows, the suggestion of trust and stability, the color of a loved one’s eyes, fresh breezes, clarity of thought, and the simplicity of a favorite color.

Felta Virginia grew up between Europe and northern Virginia. She now calls Blacksburg her home. Felta served in the U.S. Army as a Chinese linguist before completing her B.A. in Painting from North Georgia College and State University in 2001. She has exhibited across the United States, in Germany, and Austria. Faith, philosophy, family, social issues, and nature are the driving inspirations for her work.

Everyone is welcome to attend the reception. “Searching the Blue” will be on display through the end of June.
