SWEETWATER CENTER FOR THE ARTS presents: REMNANTS Revisited

 

SEWICKLEY, Pa.- Exhibition April 11-29, 2011  - Reception Friday, April 29, 2011 from 6:00-9:00 P.M.

 

Exhibition April 11-29, 2011 

This exhibition is free and is an encore presentation of selected pieces from Joyce Werwie Perry's solo exhibition at The Westmoreland Museum of American Art in the fall of 2010.  Images from the past collected from personal family albums are expressed through the use of oils with knives and in other cases, encaustic wax. The viewer is prompted to feel the value of the individual and to contemplate the mystery of his/her own inner spirit as well as that of others who have come and gone.  The purpose of Joyce's work is to give testimony to the mark of the human soul.

 

Joyce has won numerous awards in regional and national exhibitions; most recently, Joyce received the prestigious Westmoreland Museum Exhibition Award by Curator Barb Jones for a solo exhibition in 2010.

 

Her work has been shown at Carnegie Museum of Art, Andy Warhol Museum, The Westmoreland Museum of American Art, Butler Museum of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio, and Avampato Discovery Museum in Charleston, West Virginia, Duquesne University, Seton Hill University, Community College of Allegheny County, and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, in addition to many other local galleries. 

 

Joyce teaches her original knife technique at Sweetwater Center for the Arts as well as at le Poire Fine Art Studio.

 

Reception Friday, April 29, 2011 from 6:00-9:00 P.M.

The reception is free and coincides with the Sewickley Spring Gallery Walk and Art Blooms an exhibit of flower arrangements designed by Sewickley Garden Clubs to complement the exhibited artwork.

 

You can contact Joyce and see more of her work at le Poire Fine Art Studio, 11 E Crafton Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA  15205, 412-921-0912, www.le-poire.com.
