artist statement of christine walters
Inspiration for painting surrounds me— light streaming through a window, my children playing in the sand, even my white peonies aglow in the early morning sun. Inspiration also comes from travel, be it exotic Hawaii, with its breathtaking backdrop of expansive ocean and dramatic cliffs, or quaint Elk Lake, Michigan, with its white sand beaches and calm turquoise waters.
The intricacies of painting with transparent watercolor, the delicate, detailed, gradual layering of colors attempting to portray a likeness, or conversely, the exhilarating freeness and flow of water and paint quickly applied, to mix and dance on the paper. Attempting to achieve a wonderful balance between the two is both magical and elusive.
The process of trying to capture light, color, and natural beauty, while encouraging moments of passion, where painting is truly from the soul, is a lifelong challenge I joyfully pursue.
about christine walters
Christine Walters is a self-taught local artist who has worked primarily in transparent watercolor with portraiture and florals as favorite subjects.
In preparation for this exhibition, she has challenged herself to experiment with landscape painting in oil, acrylic, and pastel. This experimentation has led to new passions which include: drawing with vine charcoal, textural palette knife painting, painting en plein air, and soft-pastel gracing loose watercolor underpainting.
Christine lives with her loving husband, Jeff, their three portrait inspiring children, Gabe, Ben, and Kate, and her beloved dog, Scout, in Plymouth, Michigan.
special vestibule exhibit: Charvi Jewelry
by vidya krishnan
The Village Theater at Cherry Hill is pleased to exhibit Charvi Jewelry by Vidya Krishnan now through January 1, 2020.
ARTIST STATEMENT OF vidya krishnan
My heart has always been drawn to creative art forms. Being of Asian Indian origin, jewelry was an inherent part of my life since childhood and that changed into a passion for handcrafting my own jewelry a few years ago.
The word “Charvi” means ‘beautiful woman’ in Sanskrit. The goal of Charvi is to make a woman feel beautiful; not just physically, but also emotionally. I like my pieces to fill the wearer with confidence, self-assurance and self-esteem that will make them beautiful inside and out. Every piece is handcrafted with love and attention to detail, style, elegance and finish. My designs are influenced by my Asian Indian heritage and by global cultures, and are uniquely mine.
ABOUT Vidya krishnan
Vidya is a Canton resident and the founder/designer of Charvi Jewelry. Vidya's educational background includes being a graduate student in Life Sciences and Urban Planning, and by profession an Urban Planner.
