CAM Presentation and a Special Offering
February 11, 2024 @ 12:15 pm - 2:00 pm
Join Cameron Art Museum Executive Director Heather Wilson to learn more about the work of eastern North Carolina’s premiere contemporary art museum. Heather will talk about:
- Upcoming exhibitions
- Multi-disciplinary public programs like Jazz@CAM, the Boundless sculpture project
- Outreach programs including Connections, for those living with dementia, and Art Enhances Health, for those currently being treated for cancer
Come learn about this rich cultural community and find out how you can be involved.
After the presentation Carolyn Faulkner, a CAM-bassador and artist extraordinaire will offer a drawing lesson.
She will teach you how to draw a bird by using simple shapes to learn proportions, how to create the right posture, and placement of elements (the eye, wing, feet). If we have time she will also cover the basics of using colored pencils to make the bird look more 3-dimensional by creating values!
Love Offering: $10
Carolyn’s Bio: Dreams, visions and spirituality emerge from the depth of subconscious. Struggling to be free, their release is expressed by the energy of color and form.This is my art.
Using bright acrylic colors and frequently mixed-media, Carolyn brings her own imaginative interpretations of birds, nature, and her love of the sea and sky to the canvas. When Carolyn first arrived on the coast of North Carolina, excited by the mighty ocean and incredible skies, she painted realistic sea shells and birds in surrealistic settings. Her more recent work includes remarkable pop art and an ongoing series using wooden mannequins. She uses multi-level canvases, as well as found and constructed objects.
Her original works have been exhibited at 311 Gallery (Raleigh, NC), Touchstone Gallery (Washington, DC) Target Gallery associated with the Torpedo Factory (Alexandria, VA), Joanne Rose Gallery (Reston, VA), The Gallery at Keller Williams (Wilmington, NC) and Red Bluff Art Gallery (Corning, CA). Other works are included in private collections primarily on the east coast, nationally and internationally. Carolyn holds a Masters Degree in Art from East Carolina University and has been an art educator for more than 20 years. She teaches privately, as well as through Museum School at Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC.
