Nelson Memorial Art Exhibit: through May 2008

Food, Feathers and Favoarite Things
Original Watercolors by Tam Thomas and Lenore Binder

This is Lenore Binder's first foray in the art world. Under the tutelage of Erin Wells, of The Drawing Room in Charlottesville, she has begun the exploration of various art forms. After moving to Barboursville from Long Island NY six years ago, she started with decorative design and then went on to more serious studies in charcoal, graphite and pencil drawings which remain her first love today. Working with water colors has opened up a new world of color and expression and she hopes to expand into the use of other mediums in the future.

Tam Thomas has also been studying with Erin Wells. Before her retirement, Tam had done some decorative dabbling with acrylics, but she had always been attracted to watercolors whenever visiting a gallery or art show. Mrs. Wells' motto for The Drawing Room, "Quietly teaching people how to see" caught Tam's attention and she decided to take lessons with Erin immediately. Tam does indeed view the world differently now and she loves to paint how she perceives favorite things.
