There will be an Edwardsville Arts Center Holiday Show featuring Fern Taylor, with Dan Anderson, Caroline Bottom-Anderson, Darnell Malone, Kerry Smith running through January 7. The show is sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisors.
Opening Reception: November 19, 7 pm – 9 pm at the EAC. An amazing night of art, friends, food & drink is promised and all for free.

EAC Administrator Linda Smith curates.

The artists are:

Fern Taylor takes art into a whole new realm with her highly acclaimed paintings that boast rich textures & vibrant colors. Extraordinary lighting & texturing techniques boast bravely in every piece Fern creates. The finished result is a beautiful work of art that tempts the human eye & teases the senses – a visually & emotionally stimulating canvas that draws you in & challenges you to touch & feel its beauty. Acrylic paints are her current medium. Her painting process begins with a photograph. From there, she takes the image from the photo & adds brilliant colors until the image is soothing to the soul.

The pieces in this show created by Darnell Malone were based on feelings, truths & being led to the correct path. Each has a similar color scheme but with additional colors or tones added to reach the desired outcome & message he wishes to convey. His work expresses depth, movement, vibrancy & even a philosophical tone. Darnell has participated in numerous exhibits with his work hanging in homes & institutions across the states.

From the beginning, Kerry Smith had an extraordinary passion for design. Art classes brought to Kerry a new revelation that design wasn’t just fun, it had power, purpose & the ability to not only move others but change how people thought, felt & behaved. In an effort to achieve a genuine aura of child-like innocence, he drew upside down, closed eyed, & even drew in the dark. Over time the sketches evolved into his current medium of using heavy applications of gouache & oil stick. Once the paint dries, he rips off sections of top layers with masking tape & then reapplies additional layers of gouache, resulting in original, primal type paintings.

Dan Anderson, a noted artist & educator, headed the ceramic program at SIUE for 26 years. Anderson has lectured & demonstrated at hundreds of venues over the past four decades & received many grants & awards. His work is in numerous private & permanent collections across the US.

Caroline Bottom-Anderson has received numerous awards for the glass beauties she creates. She built & operates her own hot glass studio in rural Edwardsville. Her work is exhibited in several galleries across the US. Bottom-Anderson has work in several private & permanent collections.
