Watercolorist to exhibit at Arts & Science Center
Nationally known watercolorist Sheila Parsons' work will be on exhibit Sept. 5-Nov. 14 at the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas. A reception and gallery talk with the artist is set for 3-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, at the Center.
Known for her loose, impressionistic and colorful style, Parsons has been a professional artist and workshop instructor since 1976. She received her master's degree in art from the Pratt Institute in New York and has studied since then with some of the greats in the watercolor field. Her work is included in public and private collections in Europe, Mexico and the U.S. She does vibrant and colorful paintings of landscapes, florals and street scenes.
She is a signature member of the MidSouthern Watercolorists, a member of Oklahoma Watercolor Association and Midwest Watercolor Association and has served on the faculty of the Arkansas Arts Center.
Her work has been included in "Watercolor USA," "MidSouthern WC" and other national shows. In 1996, Parsons received the Arkansas Governor's Award for Outstanding Individual Artist. The fall 2000 issue of "Watercolor," an American Artist publication, has an eight-page feature article about Parsons and showcases her paintings.
She currently lives and works with her husband, Richard Talley, two dogs, and a cat in her studio home in Conway.
The center, located at 701 Main St. in Pine Bluff, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 1-4 p.m. Saturday and closed on Sunday. For more information, contact the center at (870) 536-3375 or visit the website at www.artssciencecenter.org.
