Program Description
Event Details
This exhibit showcases the art of Lydia Watson with a display of 32 works on paper: a collection of drawings in which pen and ink dots are used to create 2D visuals. The visual interpretations presented in “Embracing Stippling” are intended to encourage, challenge, elevate others to a different state of being and even look deeper at what is seen as ordinary images.
Plainfield native, Lydia Watson is a visual artist with a passion for creating mixed media art. In retrospect, she began focusing on the use of dots in her artistic creation to alleviate the effects brought on by the stressful limitations of being confined during the pandemic and to cope with negative life experiences of our times.
Stippling is a drawing technique in which small, distinct dots are used to create a desired image or effect. The term “stippling” comes from the Dutch word for “small dot.” This technique can be used with a variety of mediums, including pencils, ink, and even in digital art.
This program is partly made possible by a 2024 HEART Grant from the Union County Board of County Commissioners.
This exhibition will run from October 21, 2024, through January 11, 2025.
