July Art Display
The Photography of Angie Timone
Angie Timone will be the featured artist this July at the Paso Robles City Library located at 1000 Spring Street.
According to Timone, her photographic journey began nearly twenty years ago while on a high school trip to Europe. "I have been hooked on photography ever since!" she raves. "I was intrigued then, and remain so this day, by the notion of capturing the truth of a moment in life or nature with the hope of stirring up emotion and thought."
When asked to describe her photographic style, Timone
responds that her photos are informal, yet personal. "To capture
moments that are spontaneous and to present photos that portray
people and settings in natural situations that emerge as art -
that is my mission."
The photography of Angie Timone will be on display in the Library for the entire month of July, 2010. The Paso Robles City Library is open Monday through Friday 10-8 and Saturday 10-5.
August Display
The art quilts of Jeanne Aird will be on display the entire month of August at the Paso Robles City Library located at 1000 Spring St.
Aird’s exhibit is the culmination of her work toward a
Master's Degree in Art Education through the University of
Idaho. With its focus on student creation of their own work as
well as the study of education philosophy and techniques, Aird’s
graduate program greatly increased her repertoire of surface
design techniques. Aird achieves artistic dimensions in her
quilts through the colors, textures, and patterns of fabric that
she chooses. "I also like to make my own fabrics, using dyes and
a variety of techniques, some old, some new.”"
Aird has been making art quilts for the last fifteen years,
favoring this media over more traditional modes of art. "Quilts
have warmth to them not found in other art forms. Fabric has
symbolic meaning in our lives. We are wrapped in cloth at birth
and continue to cover ourselves with it throughout our lives.
Fabric warms and comforts us.
I find it meaningful that quilt
making is a woman’s art and heritage and that through creating
these art quilts I continue that tradition."
The artist will host an opening reception for her exhibit on Thursday, August 5, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm in the Paso Robles City Library Story Hour Room.
