August Art Exhibit "The World Around Us"

August 1 - August 31 2018


9 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily, Magnolia Room

Hot Springs Village Artists Shirley Anderson, Barbara Seibel and Caryl Joy Young combine their talents to present this exhibit. The interpretive feelings of all three will be vividly expressed in oils, pastel, and watercolor.

Shirley Anderson, who was recently elected to the Board of the International Association of Pastel Societies and serves as the Exhibition Chair, has a passion for plein aire painting. She recently returned from her annual California trip to join other plein aire enthusiasts and has, in the past, traveled to Spain and France to paint the landscape. Shirley performs demonstrations for art groups and teaches workshops in the Central Arkansas area.

Barbara Seibel began her lifelong painting career at the age of eight when she took her first art lessons. She later operated art schools in Kentucky and North Carolina. She has won numerous awards for her lovely watercolors. She teaches art workshops regionally and watercolor classes aboard luxury cruise ships, painting in such exotic locales as the Amazon, South Africa, Iceland, Thailand and Singapore.
Caryl Joy Young’s passion for painting began when she stood in front of Van Gogh’s Starry Night in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. Having taken classes from nationally-recognized pastel and oil painters, she had her first thrill of accomplishment in 2008 when she was invited to participate in Garvan Woodland Gardens’ Beauty and the Brush. Today her art hangs in the Artists’ Workshop Gallery in downtown Hot Springs.

All three artists have exhibited throughout Arkansas. For several years they have participated in ArtWorks at the Arkansas Repertory Theatre in Little Rock.

Art Exhibits in the Magnolia Room are free and open to the public.
