SOCIETY OF BLUFFTON ARTISTS (SoBA) presents
“Thru My Eyes”
by Helen Evans
November 16th through December 14th
After a career as a legal secretary and raising a family, Helen Evans went back to school and studied art at the College of DuPage. Initially working in clay as a ceramic artist, Helen studied under internationally known artist Jaime Suarez. She gradually switched to painting and began her artist endeavors in Liturgical Art, making pulpit hangings and banners for churches in Illinois, Utah and Puerto Rico. Helen says, “I don’t have a “style”, the subject determines how it will be handled and what medium will be used. I am attracted to a subject because it may present a challenge, it may evoke a pleasant memory or one of melancholy—a subject that speaks to me in some way.” For her, art has been a journey of not only learning the basics of laying on color, but of expressing who she is and what she feels through her work. Her show will feature landscapes and florals
The public is invited to a reception for the artist on Sunday, November 21st from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Gallery where refreshments will be served. In addition to Helen’s work, the six-week show will also exhibit the art of over 80 other artist members of SoBA. The gallery is located on Boundary Street in old Bluffton and is open Mon. through Sat. from 10-5. Call 843-757-6586 or visit the SoBA web site at www.sobagalleries.com for more information about the organization and participating artists.
