Artist Talk - May 23rd, 7-9pm at the Fort Gallery. Two artists who worked closely with Nancy Crawford for many years will talk about her work in our current exhibition With Love and Gratitude: The Encaustic Art of Nancy Joan Crawford.
Artist/Teacher Julia Bennett taught with Nancy for many years; during this time they had several joint shows, both at the Fort Gallery in Fort Langley and at the Mary Pratt gallery at the Langley Fine Arts School. Julia will talk about working with Nancy on these exhibitions. Artist/Sister Cindy Wilker had many opportunities to work closely with Nancy, both in Langley and in her overseas workshops. This allowed her to study first hand the many techniques that Nancy brought to her encaustic painting practice and gain valuable insights into her processes and conceptual framework. Cindy will relay these experiences and introduce selected video tutorials by Nancy herself that will shed light on how she created her encaustic collections. Wine and refreshments provided. Free admission. |
