Marion Art Center mixed media exhibit

Jul 1, 2016

The Marion Art Center will hold an exhibition of mixed media artwork by Judy Carver, Jane Egan, Mary Ross and Lynnette Torres.

Both of the Art Center’s galleries will be filled with watercolors, pastels and collages by the four local artists.

Judy Carver is a Marion resident who has taken watercolor classes at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Marion Art Center and the Rhode Island School of Design. Among her exhibitions are group shows at the Marion Art Center, Dover Public Library and the Springbull Gallery in Newport, Rhode Island.

Jane Egan is a multifaceted artist who works with a variety of mediums, including oil paint, watercolors and pastels. Among Egan's most recent accolades, she was awarded "Best in Show" for pastel works in both the 2015 Bourne-Wareham Art Association and 2015 Taunton Art Association member shows.

Mary Ross received a B.A. from Massachusetts College of Art. Initially a landscape painter, she took most of her inspiration from nature. Ross’s paintings and collages are featured in many permanent collections throughout the US and Europe.

Lynnette Torres is a graduate of Vesper George School of Art in Boston. She worked in the commercial art field as a stationery designer and publications artist. Torres’ creations include pastel and watercolor portraits, as well as pen and ink drawings for advertising, invitations, note cards and framed collections.

The exhibit will be open until Aug. 1.

The Marion Art Center is located at 80 Pleasant St. The gallery opening is free and open to the public.
