Sunset River Marketplace showcases local, regional and whimsical birds in Wings exhibition

Sunset River Marketplace art gallery in Calabash, NC is featuring Wings, an exhibition of feathered creatures in different media. The show runs from Jan. 10 through Feb. 10. Gallery owner Ginny Lassiter said, “Both our local and out-of-town visitors often come in looking for artwork of the local seabirds and raptors, so we decided to curate an exhibition of art depicting our feathered friends. You’ll find a little bit of whimsy mixed in with the realistic pieces.  It’s been a lot of fun putting it together. I think folks are going to enjoy it!”

Artists include Jim Comer (carved wood), Ruth Cox (oil), Raine Middleton (clay), Jill Leach (oil), Beth Hill (acrylic), Keith White (scratch board), Brooks Pearce (oil),  Connie Parker (clay), Fred Schwartz (stained glass), Kathy Turnauer (fused glass), Ron Gold (intarsia), Freeman Beard (watercolor), Gary Halberstadt (oil) and the late Ramona Bendin (oil).
