Celebrating Women Artists @ thegallery8680

thegallery8680 opened another great show this past month, as it continues to be a forerunner for the visual arts here in Frisco.  This latest exhibit titled “Celebrating Women Artists” opened on February 11, and features the works of ten highly accomplished artists from Texas.  The show has a broad appeal, with representational and contemporary subjects, all with a unique female perspective. 

Gallery Director, Robyn Parker Feehan has assembled a cast of artists that are well known for their quality work, and each leaves her own mark on the show.

Collin College art professor, Eilene Carver, whose work observes the contradictions of a woman’s role within domestic spaces, makes a big impression upon entering the gallery.  Her large-scale oil painting and works on paper capture your attention with their detail and technical skill, as the symbolism used in her work keeps the viewer intrigued.  

“My work is generated from personal experience and observation,” says Carver.  “ Since I was a child I have had a certain affinity for interior spaces. I observed a great many contradictions about the role of women in these domestic spaces.  The matriarchs of my family were strong minded and accomplished; … yet their strengths were well concealed within the outward trappings of a ‘good’ wife and mother.  ”

The theme of home life and the roles of women are consistent throughout the show, but what seems just important to these artists is the brilliant use of color.  

Barbara Mason, a nationally acclaimed artist and resident of Frisco, is known for her vibrant palette, as color comes alive on her canvases.  Her work is featured in the side gallery, and complemented by the richly textured works of Danna Gann, also of Frisco.

Another prominent theme is the artists’ love for nature. 

From South Texas Monica Fallini’s colorful floral landscapes, too Nancy Lawrence’s love for the Texas Hill Country, an appreciation for the beauty of creation is evident.

Jan Partin, a photographer from Dallas, explains, “The outdoors is a sacred place for me and provides me with spiritual and creative energy.” 

With this inspiration, these artists also inspire others.  Elizabeth Padgett, an art teacher, hopes her work will represent to the viewer the grace and majesty of her God; Elizabeth Trosper wants her work to provoke others to creativity. 

Misty Oliver Foster is always busy developing and exploring her own art to bring vibrant energetic canvases. Marie Renfro wows us for her mastery of collage painting.

Thegallery8680 will host a luncheon reception on Wednesday, March 9 from 11:30am – 3:30pm.  All the public is invited.  “This reception will be a great time to take your lunch break and enjoy the artistic environment with these great women,” explains Robyn. “We hope you will join us to become familiar with original art and make a choice to be apart of the talented local art scene of your city.” thegallery8680 is located at 8680 Main Street, in Crestview Professional Center.  If you have questions or would like to view the artwork, please contact Robyn for an appointment at 214.585.8175.  The show closes on March 12.
