Exhibit Summary

Oxford dictionary defines the adjective “var·i·e·gat·ed” as “exhibiting different colors, patches, or streaks”. “VAriegated” is a dynamic group art exhibit where each Virginia artist explores these elements in their own unique way. The collection of works visually bridges Patricia Taylor Holz’s experimental, textured mixed media pieces with the vibrantly colored abstract work of Nancy Ramsey, and the soft moving atmospheric studies of Caroline Adams into a seamless, complimentary display.

Patricia Taylor Holz paints on paper, metal, wood and canvas with dye, watercolor, acrylics & oils. Her surfaces are then sculpted with gesso, molding paste, rice paper, twine, crackling paste, cheesecloth, sand, sawdust, and lava salt.

Nancy Ramsey‘s medium of choice has evolved from watercolor to mixed water media, acrylics and oil and includes, most recently, layering drawing and painting on translucent substrates.

Caroline Adams’s abstracted landscapes are created in oil and egg tempera on canvas and panel.
