The Wild Side Exhibition

August 2, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every day that begins at 11:00 am, repeating until September 4, 2016

“The Wild Side” features the wildlife art of Ellen Chester of Williamsport, Ohio and Marie McConnaughey of Springfield, Ohio.  The Exhibition runs August 2nd through September 4th.  The exhibition pairs Ellen’s realistic acrylic renderings of animals in their natural habitat while Marie’s watercolors are more of animal portraits painted in an aqueous style.
Ellen is an animal lover and has worked in numerous animal facilities including The Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Rescue One Sanctuary, and the Ohio Wildlife Center. Her inspiration comes from the animals she’s worked with as she first creates small sketches to make sure she likes the composition.  She then creates a habitat that is indigenous to the animal’s surroundings and utilizes many references as she paints them.
Marie is an artist of multiple mediums and styles.  Currently she works with watercolors and resin covered paintings.  “I’ve always loved trying new techniques and styles.  I began my artistic journey with painting wood cut-outs, oil paintings, sculpting clay, and now the watercolor.  This media has given me such joy and I have learned so much with this process.  It has given me the courage to compete and the joy of winning with some of the pieces in competitions.”
