Modern Day Mavericks and Western Icons: Paintings by Carrie Fell

Come see the Booth Museum's current featured exhibit now through October 14. Modern Day Mavericks and Western Icons: Paintings by Carrie Fell features Denver, Colo. artist Carrie Fell's distinctive cowboys and other Western icons. Bold and edgy, yet simple and fluid, Fell's work gives traditional icons of the West a modern twist.

Fell's work uses dramatic color and line to give life to her faceless subjects. Her work tells the traditional stories of Western art and tells them through a wide-range of subjects. She began her career in art in 1985. She studied interior design in college and the drawing style of design as well as her use of color and negative space can be seen reflected in her work.

Her works can be seen in numerous galleries and exhibitions across the nation and Fell remains active in charitable causes through her donations and time. In 1996, she established Significance of Self, an educational program that helps young people express themselves using paint and other media.

Carrie led one of the Booth Museum’s featured Artist Workshops on Friday, September 21. She worked with approximately 15 participants, teaching and encouraging various painting and artistic techniques. She also signed autographs and demonstrated painting techniques for the class.

The next Artist Workshop will feature painter William Matthews on Friday, October 26. For more information on how you can sign up to participate in this day long Plein air painting workshop, contact Darlene Gunn at 770-607-3686 or visit http://www.boothmuseum.org/artworkshops.htm
