Kathy Alderman and Elaine Pelkey-Herrick
Friday, July 21 - Tuesday, September 19, 2017
Find out how the love of nature has inspired artists Kathy Alderman and Elaine Pelkey-Herrick paintings. Alderman is originally from Alamance County, though spent half her youth living by the shore on Oak Island. Memories of her life by the sea inspire her art ever as much as the beautiful hills and valleys of her current home in rural North Carolina. Currently a resident of Burlington, Pelkey-Herrick started painting with oils at sixteen living in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Being a self taught artist she has earned the respect of many of her peers. Pelkey-Herrick's favorite subjects relate to landscapes, seascapes, flowers, pet portraits, wildlife and abstracts.
