STONE HARBOUR – On Saturday, May 7th, the William Ris Gallery will be exhibiting the most recent originals by Wanda Kline, a Southern Jersey painter who’s name is recognized in circles of artists,students and collectors. The collection, Shades of Light, will include pastels inspired by nature’s own ability to create beauty through sun, shadow, and color mastering the mystery these elements create.
In Ms. Kline’s own words, “A good painting begins with a good composition; then comes contrast and color. I look to modern painters such as Richard Diebenkorn and Wolf Kahn to inspire my quest for wonderful color. I am constantly experimenting, manipulating, and playing with color. I want the viewer to feel that the painting is luscious; that he or she would like to walk into the painting and live there surrounded by color.
By working in a series, I am able to attempt different ways of approaching the same subject. So ultimately, though the subject of my paintings may change, it’s always about the color.”
Shades of Light will open with an afternoon reception during the annual Stone Harbor Sail into Summer event.
Open to the public.
William Ris Gallery is proud to be celebrating its 40th year in Stone Harbor and is open daily year ’round.
