"Two Sarahs"  Mixed Media on Paper

About the Show:  Joyce McCarten combines her love of the abstract with the elements of her earlier figurative work to make paintings about women from biblical times whose stories have impacted her life. Neither illustrations, nor portraits, these mixed-media paintings use the formal elements of color, line and rhythm to tell the ancient stories of these women who McCarten sees as role models for living in the 21st century. The body of work she is bringing to the GFFFTA Gallery is unique in style and theme, and has
never been shown before.

About the Artist:  Joyce McCarten is an award-winning artist whose work is included in private collections in the U.S. Europe and South Africa.  Named Torpedo Factory Artist of the Year in 2008, 
McCarten has been a popular teacher at The Art League School in Alexandria for the past 13 years.  To learn more about the artist, visit www.joycemccarten.com
