Marty Stewart’s show—April Mix, opens April 4, during the First Friday Gallery Walk from 5-9pm, and features new landscapes in soft pastel and acrylic. Her subtly atmospheric compositions sing with expressive color and light. For this show she will be exploring some new visual territory including water birds, a lily pond, and more.
Marty’s pastel paintings have won many awards, notably a first place in the Pastel 100 Competition and Artist’s Magazine 28th Annual Competition abstract categories in 2011. Her image was chosen to be the signature artwork for the 2014 Sunriver Music Festival. When taking a break from painting and sketching on trips to exotic locales, she also enjoys teaching.
