Indianapolis Artist to exhibit at Artworks Gallery

Sandy Ezell will exhibit watercolors in varied techniques during the month of September at Artworks Gallery in downtown Muncie. The show will open on First Thursday, September 7, with the artist in attendance from 5 to 8 pm. The public is invited to attend and partake of light refreshments.

Always expanding her vision, Sandy is currently exploring new techniques in experimental watermedia with the goal of allowing the viewer to become more involved in the painting. "If everything is spelled out, it's a one-sided conversation, "Sandy explains. " By creating impressions and abstract areas, someone looking at the painting can bring their own experience to it, and see something unique to them. Then the artist and the viewer have a more interesting discussion."

A native of LaCrosse, WI, Sandy first pursued training and a career in music, receiving her BA from St Olaf College, Northfield, Mn. It was only after her children were in school that she became interested in painting. Since that time, Sandy has gone after her artistic training at the then Indianapolis Art League, and workshops from Masters around the country. Sandy lives in Indianapolis where she is a Signature member of the Kentucky Watercolor Society and the Water Color Society of Indiana.

In addition to being a studio artist, Sandy teaches watermedia at the Indianapolis Art Center, does workshops as requested and operates a custom frame studio in her home. She has had numerous solo exhibits and her work in many corporate and private collections. She has won awards in both regional and local juried art shows, and has shown at the Hoosier Salon regularly.

Artworks is located at 301 S Walnut, in the Mitchell building. The show will be on display through October 4 and may be viewed Monday through Saturday from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm.
