Artist Reception—Cat Lencke’s “Light Between the Leaves”

Artist Reception—Cat Lencke’s “Light Between the Leaves”

Friday, October 4, at 5:30 PM in the Patrick Lawton Lobby.

GPAC is proud to be a center for the visual arts as well as the performing arts. Our Visual Arts Exhibitions shine the spotlight on emerging and professional artists from across the region in the rotating gallery located in the Patrick Lawton Lobby. All Visual Arts Exhibitions are free to attend and open to the public during normal business hours and on days of performances.

Following her B.A. in Fine Art in Chester, England, Cat Lencke pursued an early career working as a portrait photographer in Europe and later, a Fine Art photographer in Memphis, TN. After many years in this field, she returned to her childhood passion of drawing and painting, specializing in watercolor.

Though no longer her primary medium, Cat’s years in photography remain integral to her work and have led her to create evocative and atmospheric pieces through the use of light in her watercolors. Equally, her process of layering loose watercolor washes and progressively darker, sharper layers mimics the changing focal length you’d expect to see through a camera using a wide aperture lens, in turn producing an almost photorealistic effect.

Often, the very process of studying the natural subjects in her work brings a deepened awareness and sense of awe, further inspiring Cat’s love of the great outdoors and the thematic development of her artwork.

The event is finished.
