Mars Hill University Exhibits "Four Artists, Four Views" in January and February

Mars Hill, NC (01/19/2023) — Mars Hill University's Weizenblatt Gallery will showcase the work of four of Asheville's pre-eminent abstract artists during January and February. Betty Clark, Grace Carol Bomer, Genie Maples, and Cindy Walton will exhibit some of their newest and most challenging work. Each artist is pursuing her own vision, all of which are very different. This is the first time these four have joined forces in a single exhibition.

Betty Clark uses paintings as a way to process events in her life and in the larger world. Grace Carol Bomer's work is infused with a strong Christian religious ethos. Genie Maples lets her paintings develop organically through her, rather than consciously guiding them. Cindy Walton's work combines oil painting and cold wax in beautiful and joyful expressions. Many of the artworks in this exhibition will be very large-scale, taking advantage of Weizenblatt Gallery's expansive wall space.

The exhibition opened January 11. There will be a reception on Friday, February 3, from 6-8 pm. The show will run through Friday, February 10. Hours are 10-4 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, closed Tuesday and Thursday. Weizenblatt Gallery is in the Moore Fine Art Building on Cascade Street. Admission is free.
