Meet the artists of Center’s new exhibition
The Aiken Center for the Arts (ACA) will hold an opening reception for its November exhibitions on Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The new exhibitions include Sandra Etherington Tucker and Dick Dunlap, Rick Reinert and the “T’is the Season Invitational” exhibition by ACA members. The exhibition will be on display from Wednesday through Dec. 30 in the main galleries. During November, the artwork of Marsha Shelburn will be on exhibition in the Aiken Artists’ Guild Gallery.
Tucker, a Hitchcock Woods Foundation trustee, and Dunlap, a retired physician, are showing together for the first time as both friends and teacher/student. Tucker has studied under Dunlap and considers sharing an exhibition with him a high honor. Both are plein air painters and enthusiasts of their local natural environments, which have been the inspiration of their numerous paintings.
As a youth, Tucker began drawing and painting animals. After college where she majored in art, she painted many of the top equine hunter-jumpers. After a hiatus from her art in the 1990s, she returned to focus on landscapes in oils and watercolors. It is at this time she first met and began training under Dunlap. Full Details…
