June 1st is opening night for this new exhibit of pastels by Julie Quick. Julie celebrates her 5th year as a professional artist by introducing a series of 20 pastels based on her hikes to the top of the Pinnacles at Berea. She chose to interpret one of her favorite photos of her summit experience where the view extends to the beginning of the Appalachians. Julie also explores some scenes from the Red River Gorge and surrounding areas of the Kentucky Appalachian mountains. She pushes her viewpoint from realistic to abstract in these paintings with her choices of color and shape.
