Fresh Gallery is pleased to present its Featured Artists for May: Ann Meese and Elaine Willig. Ann Meese is an incredible two-dimensional artist with fantastic paintings whose rich colors capture breathtaking nature scenes. Her apt use of color imbues her creations with life; you can almost feel the warmth of the sun and smell the fragrance of the blooms. “I work primarily in acrylic or oil and find my inspiration in nature. I work in my studio and in plein aire and enjoy painting landscape and still life subjects. It is one my greatest joys to be able to pursue my love of art through my paintings, and I feel privileged to share my work with others at FRESH. It is always my hope that others find some measure of joy in experiencing my work,” Meese says. Elaine Willig is a jewelry artist with an instinctual talent for arranging gems, stones, beads and found objects to create stunning jewelry art. Her pieces are one-of-a-kind and range from whimsical to traditional. She is also our resident repair master and loves to take custom orders for your special events. Take some time to sit with her; you will be amazed at her ability to design exactly what you are looking for! Please stop by during the Art Walk on May 3 to meet Ann and Elaine, and to enjoy Fresh Gallery’s plethora of amazing regional talents. Fresh is a collective gallery of juried local and regional artists offering a range of fine art and craft. It is sponsored by the Springfield Regional Arts Council.
