Takoma Park artist Marilyn Banner’s luminous and highly tactile encaustic paintings will be on view at the Adkins Arboretum Visitor’s Center through Friday, January 27, 2012.
Focusing on the myriad colors and textures found in marshes and taking full advantage of the range of drawing and painting techniques possible in this hot wax process, she creates bold, richly layered scenes with a surprisingly broad range of character and atmosphere.
The next exhibit, the thirteenth annual Art Competition, will open February 14. The theme of the competition—Discovering the Native Landscapes of Maryland’s Eastern Shore—celebrates the Arboretum’s mission of conservation.The show will be juried by Erik Neil, Executive Director of the Academy Art Museum, Easton, Md.
