Megan Cowans

 Megan Cowans is a local photographer who practices portraiture and landscape photography. 

Opal Mills Pendant

Opal Mills has been creating artwork in miniature form for as long as she can remember, always with an emphasis on jewelry making, fueled by inspiration from the natural world.

 Brandon Lee has been drawing most of his life with his favorite medium of charcoal.  He took his first real drawing class junior year of high school.  Being raised by two artists, Brandon says that he quickly learned that art was for him. Currently he works at Upland Brewpub and is an avid skateboarder, which has become just about as important to him as his art.  He hopes to attend an art institute.

“New Fluid Works" by Patricia C. Coleman, February 2018

“New Fluid Works", abstracts by Patricia C. Coleman opens in the Flowing Colors Studio, Friday, February 2, 2018.  

Tea Before Storm

“New Fluid Works” Studio Reception, from 5 to 8 PM.  

Light refreshments will be served.

 Patricia has been and exhibiting artist since the 1970's and shwoing in Bloomington, IN since the early 80’s.  In this current work with fluid paintings, I am manipulating the paint in a variety of ways with traditional brushes and unexpected tools such as gravity, broom straw and plastic wrap.  Each work unfolds upon its own merits to be interpreted by the viewer and occasionally in some pieces; there are so many references to concrete forms that images seem to be asking to emerge from the beautiful chaos. Both processes are very exciting.  

Studio Happenings

~Betty has just returned from a weekend at Way Cross Camp with IPAPA
(Indiana Plein Air Painters Assn.) where she spent the weekend painting
