ARTISTS GUILD ART DISPLAYS
Ongoing
What: The River Valley Artist Guild sponsors displays by member artists.
• The display for March at Black Mountain Bistro and Bar (formerly Lisa’s Bistro), 1595 Mohave Drive, 8.7 miles from Laughlin, features the works of:
• Cathy Farrell — studied various mediums at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. As a certified operating room technologist, she began recycling disposable unused medical supply materials into her medium. She was able to create a 3D look with that added dimension. “My paintings can take hundreds of vial caps or yars of CO2 or IV tubing and take many, many hours or even months to complete.
• Georgia Craig — “As an artist, I have learned the most from teaching children. I fell in love with painting in my early 20s and have never wavered. I began my artistic adventure in oils grounded in realism. Eventually I evolved towards the mediums of acrylic and paper collage. I have experimented with other mediums and techniques and have yet to settle on one and I may never. I have shown regionally in southern California, Nevada and locally in Arizona. My work is in private collections in Australia, France, Canada and the United States.”
