The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens is pleased to welcome an art exhibit featuring works by Theresa Bates. The exhibit, “Conversations with Color,” will be on view beginning Friday, October 4. An opening reception will be held at the park on Saturday, October 5 from 3 to 5 pm.

The show highlights the artist’s intuitive, colorful, expressive paintings full of emotion and movement.

“As a painter, color is like another language to me. It is a way of communicating. My pallets are true indications of what I am trying to express,” Bates explains. “The compositions are simple so the colors can react. I find less is more in any good conversation. It’s the constant play of speaking and listening.”

The exhibit will be on view through Sunday, October 20. Check our social media for weekly open hours: @judyblackpark on Instagram and Facebook.

The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens is pleased to welcome an art exhibit featuring works by Terri Tibbatts. The exhibit, “A Still Life” will be on view beginning Friday, November 15.

An opening reception will be held at the park on Saturday, November 16 from 3 to 5 p.m.

The show highlights the artist’s ethereal archival digital photography of seasonal fruits, vegetables and flowers.

“I take my inspiration from many sources,” Tibbatts remarks. “Dutch still life paintings, Japanese screens, scrolls and wood blocks, the sketchbooks of herbalists and naturalists, botanical prints and a multitude of gardens.”

For much of this body of work that will be on display at the park, Tibbatts largely used a horizontal landscape orientation. For some of the backgrounds, she used painted papers she recently made in a class with Suzanne Moore, book artist and calligrapher.

The exhibit will be on view through Sunday, December 1. Check our social media for weekly open hours: @judyblackpark on Instagram and Facebook.
