Sophisticated Whimsy

June 17 - July 17, 2009

There will be a reception with the artist 

Thursday, June 18 from 5-7 pm.          

The Public is invited.

 

Sophisticated Whimsy, hand painted paper collages by Joan Podd will be on display in the McMaster’s Gallery at the University of South Carolina from June 17 thru July 17.

 

Sophisticated Whimsy abounds in deceptively simple and joyful landscapes. These works explore the boundaries between painting and collage, fantasy and dreamscape, traditional landscape and abstraction. Podd who taught young children for most of her career states, “Through teaching the works of master artists like Rousseau and Matisse I found myself drawn to their shapes, colors, patterns and visual interpretations.”
