Opening Reception for “Super Natural” at Walter E. Terhune Art Gallery

A celebration of the start of Jules Webster’s Artist in Residency, entitled “Super Natural,” will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, June 5 in the Walter E. Terhune Art Gallery.

Julie (Jules) Webster is an American landscape painter and a former potter and metalsmith. Jules approaches two-dimensional painting with a strong materials-based sensibility. She is an educator, entrepreneur, community arts advocate, art materials expert and the owner/founder of The Art Supply Depo. With two locations located in Sylvania and Bowling Green, The Art Supply Depo provides high quality art materials, employment opportunity, exhibitions and educational workshops for adults and teens.

“The works in this exhibition are Super Natural, presenting garden, forest and floral still-lifes that depict idealized, dreamlike environments. Meticulously arranged natural elements are depicted in expressive color to evoke a sense of serenity and awe. In a complicated world, my work provides a moment of pause. As environments for appreciating wonder and enjoying privacy increasingly disappear, I seek to preserve and recreate solitude. The work transports viewers to tranquil spaces free of worry and concern – renewing a sense of calm – and connection to the beauty of stillness.” — Jules Webster
