Artists Jim Greene and Susan Hopps are multi-media artists displaying their work in the galleries of the Tryon Fine Arts Center through the efforts of the Tryon Painters and Sculptors.
Greene’s exhibit in Gallery One feels as though ten separate artists were involved instead of just one, said TPS exhibit organizers. Greene is a multi-talented artist who paints pictures as well as carves in wood. His use of other materials such as feathers and cardboard is unique. His subjects range from hanging carved wooden cats and dogs to abstractions and emotional pieces.
Hopps’ exhibit in the Mahler Family Board Room has a large range of subjects. Exhibit organizers said Hopps’ technique, whether painting in oils or watercolor is sophisticated and her color sense quite remarkable.
Both shows run through May 7. The Tryon Fine Arts Center is located at 34 Melrose Avenue in Tryon. The galleries are open from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
