Paintings by Sharman Owings at WSUV

May 29, 2009 to May 31, 2009

Time: 8 AM to 5 PM

Thirty two paintings by Sharman Owings are currently on display in the Engineering Life Science building at Washington State University Vancouver.

Thirty of the paintings on display are small-scale oil paintings. Owings painted one a day for 30 consecutive days. The subjects are portraits, landscapes and scenes painted from life. They combine a spontaneous feel, showing brush strokes and bold colors, and an attention to detail.

This exhibit will run until July 18.

"My weapon of choice is oil paint though I occasionally stray into other areas. The one constant is color," said Owings about her choice of medium. Owings is a mostly self-taught artist. She lives and works in Enumclaw, Wash.

Entry to campus exhibits is free. WSU Vancouver galleries are open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. Parking is available at parking meters or in the blue lot for $3. WSU Vancouver is celebrating 20 years of bringing quality education, research and service to the citizens of southwest Washington. The Campus is located at 14204 NE Salmon Creek Ave., east of the 134th Street exit from either I-5 or I-205, or via C-Tran bus service.
