Suzanne Adams-Ramsey art exhibit at Lonesome Pine Regional Library through November

Suzanne Adams-Ramsey, chair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, will exhibit a variety of her artwork throughout the month of November during a show at The Library Gallery of The Lonesome Pine Regional Library in Wise.

“Parables and Icons” includes art quilts, mixed media collage and watercolor. “The collection of work in this exhibition represents the past four years of my artistic life,” Adams-Ramsey says. “It’s been an interesting journey, of coming to terms with some things about myself.”

The work on display includes: “Country Churches,” 12 small-scale watercolor paintings of regional rural churches; and “Miniature Art Quilts,” 12 small-scale wall quilts featuring figurative imagery in combination with both traditional and non-traditional surface design processes.

“I believe my primary strength as an artist is the fact that I’m a generalist; I’m interested in so many different things,” Adams-Ramsey says. “I love to work in many different media, I’m fascinated by both the natural and the spiritual, and I have a child like curiosity for materials and forms. On the other hand, my primary weakness is also, that I’m a generalist! I simply will not live long enough to make all of the work in my head!”

The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Lonesome Pine Regional Library at 276-328-8061 or the Office of College Relations at 276-328-0130.
