Gallery

This is an invitation for you to come see the latest exhibit at the Greensboro Free Library. It is views of Caspian Lake done by local residents in a variety of media. They are done in acrylic on canvas board and wood, colored pencil, a paper collage, oil on canvas, pastels, photographs, a photo montage, prints, stained glass mosaic, watercolor, and woodblock print.

Elaine Cole-Kerr

Elaine’s works include portraits of animals and friends and depict landscapes and sights familiar to residents of the NEK. A self-taught, inspiring artist, she enjoys working in a number of mediums including pencil, watercolor, oils and acrylics. Familiar scenes presented by the artist move from the common-place to the extraordinary.

Here are some of her pictures on display at the Library:

Exhibits have been done by local craftsmen. Several are available for either a donation to the library or for a fee.

Many thanks to the owners who have given them to the library for showing in the gallery so you can enjoy the views of Caspian.
