Her oil paintings are rendered in a loose and painterly manner that convey the vitality and essence of a moment. From Diebenkorn to Vermeer, Jennifer loves and is influenced by a wide range of painters.<br /><br />Padgett works exclusively in oils. She says, “I like the tactile, buttery substance; I love the smells; I love how the paint responds to you—how you put it on, the depth of pressure, the movement of your arm. If you stand when you paint, it becomes a dance.” Padgett enjoys travel and her paintings reflect her love of France and the café scene. The colors and moods of ordinary vignettes of everyday life inspire her. <br /><br />She graduated in 1995 from Lipscomb University with a bachelors degree in fine art. Widely collected, her paintings are found in many private and corporate collections such as Ingram Industries and Vanderbilt University.<br /><br />Special thanks to artist, Pete Sullivan, vocalist, Kirstie Lane, and Fox & Vixen for our March show.<br /><br />Auld Alliance Gallery<br />Westgate Center <br />6019 Hwy 100<br />Nashville, TN 37205<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7201691298635682627-6350852616899474334?l=auldalliancegallerynet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Auld Alliance Gallerynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201691298635682627.post-31328763391840846952010-01-25T14:08:00.001-08:002010-01-25T14:08:25.812-08:00Art After Hours<br />Thursday February 4, 2010<br />5:00 to 8:00 PM<br />Presentation by artist Ron York <br />Jewelry Trunk Show by Fox and Vixen and Co. <br />Music by Kirstie Lane<br />Light refreshments served<br /><br />February 4, 2009 <br /><br />As a self-taught artist, Ron works in acrylic on canvas or board in a colorful and whimsical style. His acrylics on canvas and board have become a Nashville tradition, with colorful and whimsical figures and flowers, often jazzed up with a musical or dance theme. He now pursues art full time, and has been expanding his subject matter to include farms, landscapes, birds, animals.<br /><br />We’ll also be featuring a trunk show of jewelry from Fox and Vixen and Co. These one-of-a-kind pieces are an exciting blend of vintage and modern, offering signature style for the woman who is looking for that extra pizzazz in her jewelry and accessories. <br /><br />Music will be performed by vocalist/guitarist Kirstie Lane.
