Figurative art is a style of art in which the artist represents real-life subjects or objects, such as people, animals, or landscapes, in a recognizable and realistic manner. This can involve the use of accurate proportions, realistic colors, and detailed rendering to capture the essence of the subject. Figurative art is often contrasted with abstract art, which focuses on conveying emotions, ideas, or concepts through non-representational forms.

We welcome artist Stacy Kamin to the Lily Pad Gallery West for our next exhibition. Kamin says of her life-long obsession of creating art: “I believe art work is supposed to evoke emotions and feelings in human beings. When I see a great painting, it talks to my soul; it speaks to me in a profound way. The reason I strive to improve is the magic of capturing life on a flat surface will forever intrigue me. I want my own work to provoke such thoughts and emotions to the beauty that captivates me still.”

Additional exhibition art includes work by JoAnn Ballinger, Liz Gribin, France JoDoin, Kathy Jones, Dan McCaw, Danny McCaw, Alfredo Palermo, Michael Patterson, and Shirley Cean Youngs.
