Circle of Seven: A Group Art Exhibition

The Circle of Seven is a group of seven women brought together by artist Natalie Fleming. Once a month they gather at Natalie's to paint, share ideas, discuss trends in art, explore new techniques, and enjoy each others company. Their styles are as different as they are but their goals are similar. They are passionate about their painting and work together to expand their knowledge and perfect their skills.

This Exhibition includes artwork by:

Diana Saffo Bono: "My artwork is a celebration of life. Creating for me is the exciting interplay of brush, color and soul. I take my inspiration from nature, my travels, my family, every day living. I love the process of creating and how a painting takes on a life of it's own." Learn more about artist Diana Saffo Bono on her website.
Virginia Dragschutz: "I tend to work in series-investgating a theory.technique or just to resolve an issue in my life. I work with a chosen media and supplies on hand. This method comes to me after years of studies with well known teachers across the country and in Sweden. I am comfortable drifting from one media to another . hopefully to produce the message at hand. Because I believe that-to teach is to learn- I have shared what I have learned with many student over the years." Learn more about artist Virginia Dragschutz on her website.
Jessica Dreyer: "My style mirrors my personality, somewhat quirky, a little intense at times, a light hearted other times, chatty and visual with variations day to day. I always hope the end result when painting will reflect the joy and excitement I feel when connecting "Brush" to "Canvas". Learn more about artist Jessica Dreyer.
Natalie Fleming: "I see beauty and visual interest in many things in the world around me, in the most mundane such as a crack in the sidewalk or the texture in a rock or the more obvious such as the luminescent green in a beattle. To attempt to communicate the awe and beauty I feel when looking at such things is the challenge and excitement when I put paint to paper. In addition to the inspiration of the world around me the media of watercolor lends itself to lay in experiimentation. some of my paintings are the result of the pure joy of "playing around".
