The Blue Rock Studio features 'New Art Adventures'

The Blue Rock Studio, 262 Hideaway Hills Drive, is featuring a special exhibit, "New Art Adventures," with new works and experiments by Hot Springs artists Barbara Cade and Lana Taliaferro and Christina Nickerson, of Tulsa, Okla.

"Artists change direction in their art lives for a variety of reasons. Taliaferro has been in a life-drawing group for many years and produced many unfinished charcoal drawings. One day she 'found a red dress in a thrift store that changed the direction of everything,'" a news release said.

She is exhibiting five of her new charcoal and gouache drawings. Taliaferro, a Hot Springs native, received her Bachelor of Arts from Henderson State University and her Master of Fine Arts from Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpellier. She is a full-time faculty member at NPC where she teaches drawing, painting, 2-D design, and public school art and humanities classes. She maintains her own studio practice.

Cade is showing some woven and felted landscapes, and Nickerson is showing her multimedia assemblages.

The exhibit opened April 8 and continues through May 5. Hours are Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 4 and 5 for the Studio Tours. Call 501-262-4065 for more information.
