COLOR influenced by emotion, not bound by the expected. NATURE invites vibrant expression in a variety of techniques. With vibrant color as her passion and nature as her subject, Heide Follin infuses her paintings with inventive expression. Her award-winning work evokes the joyful intimacy of natural objects and landscape interpreted in a variety of medium. Techniques include spontaneous brush work, free-form drawing, lyrical Japanese brush strokes, scraping, scratching, dripping, and precise areas for contrast while building up layers.

The opening reception, which includes light refreshments, is on Wednesday, March 4, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The exhibit is held at the ARTWorks Gallery on the Green located at St. Paul’s on the Green, 60 East Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06851. For additional information, contact [email protected].
