“Rainy Days” Pastel on paper
“Painted Powerfully” is the newest exhibit of pastel paintings by artist, Jeri Greenberg.
Jeri’s past shows were mostly one subject and one focus. With her newest works her intent is to paint powerfully no matter the subject matter. This body of work features people, still lifes, side-eyed glances and teetering apples. The common denominators are powerful strokes, strong mark making and joyous color.
As an instructor, Jeri pushes her students to find their joy at their easel because for this artist the “easel has always been my “home”; the place I am the most serene, and the place where my scattered thoughts come together and settle around me like pixie dust.”
Join us in the gallery on Sunday, November 3rd, from 2-5pm. Enjoy special refreshments, meet our artists, and enjoy live music by solo guitarist, Roger Davis! On view along with this new work will be a new exhibit by painter and sculptor, Jessie Robertson, as well as the kick off to the 2024 Holiday Season! The holiday’s will begin a little early with a rotating exhibit featuring over 30 of Art in Bloom Gallery’s Artists! Feast your eyes on new work directly out of the artists’ studios. Shop for unique works of art that come with an abundance of creativity, which will bring smiles all year round! Many our artists are offering fine art under $250.
About the Artist
After many years as a fashion illustrator and sportswear designer, Jeri turned her love of graphic design towards advertising next. Having time to devote herself to painting again, and falling in love with the pastel medium, has led to a new and interesting “next act”, as a full-time painter and teacher.
Feeling that “Pastels are an immediate tool to express feelings” and the perfect vehicle in which to “Make the Ordinary, Extraordinary” and tell stories in her paintings, Jeri works to constantly get a deeper understanding of this wonderful medium. With her background in illustration, Jeri helps her students get a strongly drawn foundation down behind their color work.
Jeri loves painting still lifes, urban interiors, figures and fabrics, and the occasional landscape as well. Recently relocated, Jeri teaches weekly classes at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington NC, and holds demos and workshops around the country, as well as jurying national and international pastel exhibits.
