Victoria Franz: Temporary Exhibition at Alapocas Run State Park

Artist Victoria Franz describes her artistic process as, "I fling paint. I shoot it through a straw. I drip it, splatter it. I use a brush and palette knife but mostly my fingers. Whatever color calls out ends up on the paper, and often more paint gets on me than on the canvas. Intuitive painting is a path to cultivating trust in oneself - to get comfortable with not knowing what will show up. It is about process, not product. My art is an invitation to the viewer to accept the beautiful mess inherent in their own lives as I welcome it in mine." Exhibition will be at the Blue Ball Barn from October 3-30, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Call the park office for more information, 302-577-7020. Reception: October 7, 5:00 - 8:00 P.M.

Victoria Franz: Temporary Exhibition at Alapocas Run State Park

Artist Victoria Franz describes her artistic process as, "I fling paint. I shoot it through a straw. I drip it, splatter it. I use a brush and palette knife but mostly my fingers. Whatever color calls out ends up on the paper, and often more paint gets on me than on the canvas. Intuitive painting is a path to cultivating trust in oneself - to get comfortable with not knowing what will show up. It is about process, not product. My art is an invitation to the viewer to accept the beautiful mess inherent in their own lives as I welcome it in mine." Exhibition will be at the Blue Ball Barn from October 3-30, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Call the park office for more information, 302-577-7020. Reception: October 7, 5:00 - 8:00 P.M.

Victoria Franz: Temporary Exhibition at Alapocas Run State Park

Artist Victoria Franz describes her artistic process as, "I fling paint. I shoot it through a straw. I drip it, splatter it. I use a brush and palette knife but mostly my fingers. Whatever color calls out ends up on the paper, and often more paint gets on me than on the canvas. Intuitive painting is a path to cultivating trust in oneself - to get comfortable with not knowing what will show up. It is about process, not product. My art is an invitation to the viewer to accept the beautiful mess inherent in their own lives as I welcome it in mine." Exhibition will be at the Blue Ball Barn from October 3-30, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Call the park office for more information, 302-577-7020. Reception: October 7, 5:00 - 8:00 P.M.

Victoria Franz: Temporary Exhibition at Alapocas Run State Park

Artist Victoria Franz describes her artistic process as, "I fling paint. I shoot it through a straw. I drip it, splatter it. I use a brush and palette knife but mostly my fingers. Whatever color calls out ends up on the paper, and often more paint gets on me than on the canvas. Intuitive painting is a path to cultivating trust in oneself - to get comfortable with not knowing what will show up. It is about process, not product. My art is an invitation to the viewer to accept the beautiful mess inherent in their own lives as I welcome it in mine." Exhibition will be at the Blue Ball Barn from October 3-30, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Call the park office for more information, 302-577-7020. Reception: October 7, 5:00 - 8:00 P.M.

Victoria Franz: Temporary Exhibition at Alapocas Run State Park

Artist Victoria Franz describes her artistic process as, "I fling paint. I shoot it through a straw. I drip it, splatter it. I use a brush and palette knife but mostly my fingers. Whatever color calls out ends up on the paper, and often more paint gets on me than on the canvas. Intuitive painting is a path to cultivating trust in oneself - to get comfortable with not knowing what will show up. It is about process, not product. My art is an invitation to the viewer to accept the beautiful mess inherent in their own lives as I welcome it in mine." Exhibition will be at the Blue Ball Barn from October 3-30, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Call the park office for more information, 302-577-7020. Reception: October 7, 5:00 - 8:00 P.M.

Nahova: Temporary Exhibition at Alapocas Run State Park

Nahova is a painter influenced by Abstract Impressionism who creates timeless pieces that reflect her past and current experiences. She utilizes acrylic, oil and glass paint to create “cells” in most of her paintings and incorporates fabric 3D objects to create deeper sensations. When composing these pieces, Nahova hopes to inspire others to bend the rules, ask why, not to conform, to be their most genuine selves irrespective of how unpolished that expression of that self may appear. Exhibition will be at the Blue Ball Barn from November 1-30, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Call the park office for more information, 302-577-7020. Reception November 3, 5:00 - 8:00 P.M.
