“FROM TRUTH TO ABSTRACTION: THE VISION OF THREE WOMEN ARTISTS”,
AN EXHIBIT OF WORKS BY HILDA ADELSON, JEANE McINTOSH & RENEE WRENWOOD
IN THE EISEMANN CENTER’S GREEN MEZZANINE-GALLERY FEB. 1-27, 2007 

RICHARDSON, TX – A resident of Dallas, Hilda Adelson has been painting since early childhood and her award-winning work also includes clay and soft sculpture and appliqué wall hangings. Her clay dogs and standing cow sculptures have been showcased at Richland College, the Fretz Park Public Library and the North Texas Area Art League show in Denton. In her Artist Statement, Ms. Adelson says, “I think people should get a reward from looking at my art. It should enhance their senses and bring them happiness. I like bold colors, flowing lines and abstract subjects so each person can find their own interpretation or their own way through studying the piece. My pictures usually start with a line or a shape and develop from there. Each previous stroke tells me what to do next. The art comes from deep within my soul. My art literally designs itself.”

JeanE C. McIntosh, a resident of Dallas is a well-traveled, award-winning painter whose work has been featured in solo and group shows, juried exhibitions and in the permanent collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, Mountain View College in Dallas and the Southern Graphics Council at the University of Mississippi. In describing her vision and process, Ms. McIntosh says, “My work captures the intersection between the physical and spiritual. By the combination of color, texture and surface pattern, I express my inner spirit. My current series of paintings are about dance, water, reflection, movement and memories. My painting process begins by covering the white of the canvas with paint using words, numbers, symbols, texture and color. Once there is something on the surface, it becomes a conversation between the paint application and my intuition as to what happens next.”

Renee F. Wrenwood, a resident of Anna, Texas is a member of the Southwestern Watercolor Society and the McKinney Art Club. Ms. Wrenwood believes in giving back to the community and she, along with other artists from the Art Institute of McKinney Gallery, painted a rainforest mural for the Collin County Children’s Advocacy Center at the E-Care Center in McKinney. Her painterly approach to realism and beyond is apparent in her landscapes, portraits, fantasies and botanicals. Describing her work, Ms. Wrenwood says, “I work predominately in transparent watercolor. I have always been drawn to the luminescence and freshness of works in this medium. I love the unpredictability; the way the paint mixes with the water and takes on a life of its own. When I paint a watercolor, I know that I will paint and that I must also step back and let the paints themselves do a part of the painting; almost a metaphor for the letting go I’ve learned to do in live.”

From Truth to Abstraction: the Vision of Three Women Artists will be on exhibit February 1-27. Gallery hours are 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday and during all public events. The Charles W. Eisemann Center is located at 2351 Performance Drive in Richardson, Texas in the Galatyn Park Urban Center.
