Butterfly miniatures to be exhibited in BG
An exhibit of ink and watercolor images of butterflies by Susan Woodard will be on
display at Akimbo Gallery, 175 N. Main St., from Sept, 7 through Oct. 3. There
will be an opening reception Sept. 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. in conjunction with the
First Friday Gallery Hop. Live traditional Irish music will be provided by
Toraigh an Sonas. Refreshments will be served.
The exhibit will feature miniature format images of butterflies.
"This series started as I sat in my garden watching the monarchs and red
admirals fluttering around my purple coneflowers," notes Woodard. "I
thought I’d just paint a monarch and be done, but the more I looked at different
butterflies, the more I was absolutely awed by their beauty and diversity. This
project quickly turned into a series.
Also, I realized right away that these images had to be miniatures. Butterflies seem
so delicate and fragile that I couldn’t imagine creating an image that seemed
big and muscular."
Also featured in the exhibit are Woodard’s hand-made butterfly feeders.
Akimbo Gallery is open from noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Call
419-806-9116.
