Urban Vibe: Watercolors by Katie Turner

(April 2018)

Hosted by Petit Branch Library - Onondaga County Public Libraries

105 Victoria Place, Syracuse, New York 13210

Paintings from Katie Turner’s “Urban Vibe” series incorporate her loose style with the structure of city buildings. Cities have contradictory traits, much the same as people with creative spirits, some of which fuels her inspiration. Her paintings are rich with color, shape and emotion. The colors she chooses speak to the excitement of city growth and beauty. On the other hand, color choice also lends itself to the dark side of decay, danger and destruction. As she paints, these cities seem to have their own spirit as they go in unplanned directions, colors mixing and mingling and developing on their own. It is exciting to see how these urban landscapes develop and the stories they tell. Join us for a reception on Thursday, April 12, from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. FREE
