Donna Whittsitt, a nature-inspired artist, will have her “Expressions of Nature” series exhibited at the Venue, Fine Art and Gifts Friday.
Described as an artist, hiker, camper and lover of nature by the Venue, Whittsitt uses watercolor, pen ink and acrylic paint to express her relationship with nature.
Most of her work is paintings, yet this series used portions of the painted paper to create bookmarks and magnets.
Kathryn Heath, Whittsitt’s daughter, manipulated portions of her original paintings into pendants, bracelets and earrings, which depict nature scenes.
Through these pieces of art, Whitsitt brings her viewers “Expressions of Nature” in multiple forms, two- and three-dimensional. Whittsitt’s paintings, bookmarks, magnets and jewelry are available for purchase at a reasonable price, according to a press release from the Venue.
Whittsitt will be present at the opening event Friday. Whittsitt’s paintings and jewelry will be on display and available for purchase until Aug. 28. Free parking can be found in the lot at 4th and Grant and refreshments will be served during the event.
