Exhibit showcases beauty of nature

CAZENOVIA, N.Y. >> Cazenovia College welcomes the work of three acclaimed artists to campus Sept. 5 through Oct. 28 at the Art Gallery in Reisman Hall at 6 Sullivan Street in the village of Cazenovia.

“Big Color, Earth & Sky” is amixed-media group exhibition featuring the work of Wendy Harris, Jeremy Randall, and Alison Weld. An artists’ lecture series and opening reception will be held on Thursday, Sept. 5, from 4-6:30 p.m., which is free and open to the public.

“‘ Big Color, Earth & Sky’ brings together three visual artists who use vibrant color that expresses natural phenomena and human made structures that surround us,” explains Professor of Art and Art Gallery Director Jen Pepper. “Focusing in on cloudscapes, shadows and sunlight that dance on the earth’s surface below a tree, or vernacular architecture from the last century, the artists in this exhibition bring together intense chromatic compositions that beg for our perceptual alertness via concept and form.”

WendyHarris’s paintings are mixed media, predominantly pastel. Harris says she lives to paint “en plein air,” on site in the open. Her work expresses her love for nature and as she describes it, “the way light plays in it [nature] throughout the day in every season.” Harris’ award winning work has been on exhibit in 57 group exhibitions and 18 solo exhibitions across the US.
