Artist work: John Denny, watercolor
I had the opportunity to sit down with John, a retired architect and designer, who ‘dabbles’ in watercolor. We connected on multiple levels regarding our backgrounds in design and painting and our passion to create. John said that he used to draw to make a living, and now he draws what he wants and enjoys. His style ranges from and very technical to very loose. It was a joy to see his work on display. There was something for everyone!
The gallery changes quarterly bringing new fresh colors, textures, mediums to continue to stimulate life-long learning. From booking amazing artists, designing the gallery space, photographing the artist, providing graphic design services, developing a theme, laying out the PowerPoint for the artist talk, planning the reception menu—that reflects the artist’s work, to staging. This definitely fills my cup on a level that I had not anticipated, and I am happy to be apart of the multi-generational integration. The residents are able to view new artist works in the comfort of their home, as well as, interact with the artist at a talk and reception.
