with award-winning artist
Joyce Gabiou

Saturday 5/17/08 from 1:00 to 3:30 @ THE ART CENTER


The paintings and collages of award-winning artist, Joyce Gabiou lead you on an exciting journey with her non objective mixed media collages. Joyce is an intuitive artist, painting from the heart. Enormous emotion can be seen and felt in Gabiou’s work.

Ms. Gabiou believes in being open to the creative process. She meditates, studies and uses a variety of media suitable to mood and subject matter. She believes in having fun during the creative process. Much of her work is life inspired, incorporating realism with spontaneous imagery.

Her work is included in the Preston Haskell collection and she has been recently awarded an Honorable mention in the PIE Studio show, Art on a Pedestal, juried by NY Art Gallery Director, Ethan Karp. Another recent award was in the Natl. Collage Soc. Show in Delray Beach, FL. October 2007. http://www.joycegabiou.com/

PACO

Florence Nightingale once said, “As little as we know about color and light we so know they have an actual physical effect. Variety of form and brilliance of color in the objects presented to patients are an actual means of recovery.” Patty Magee, artist and Registered Nurse Educator at Baptist Medical Center, said she agrees with Nightingale. Magee has a new exhibit at the Art Center at The Carling that will debut at First Wednesday Art Walk tomorrow. The collection is called “Weaving Wellness” and it’s just what the name implies. Each piece is actually two paintings that have been cut into strips and then woven together to create a unique work of art.
