Seeking Harmony: Watercolor paintings by Jamie Hansen

Jamie Hansen is a professional watercolor artist living in Anderson, South Carolina. She studied art in the US and Germany and worked as a graphic artist in the giftware industry for over a decade. She has sold watercolor paintings and custom watercolor illustrations to buyers across the US and around the world.

She will exhibit at the Anderson Arts Center this summer. Her newest works explore the ways light describes objects within the painting, paired with reflective metals applied to the surface of the art. Her watercolor paintings include metals such as gold and copper leaf. Metal leaf reflects light in semi-darkness, even if there is not enough light to see the colors in the artwork. In that way, the art adapts and changes in response to its environment and lighting.

Her show is in the downstairs atrium space at the Anderson Arts Center and runs in conjunction with the Alamance Artisans Guild show in the gallery upstairs. It opens on Friday, July 27 and the works will be on display through August 30, 2018.
