Art Opening Reception
Friday, January 21, 5:30 – 8:00 pm
Artists Beau Whitaker & Jennifer Moreman will be paired together for the next art exhibit at Salado Wine Seller. They are combined in this collection since they both capture the magnificence in nature which they express in their own special way.
Jennifer Moreman focuses on everyday moments taken for granted in life and encourages people to notice the simple splendor in the details. She depends on her capability to pause and recognize the natural beauty of the world and the interesting features found in God’s creation that most people walk past each day and often overlook.
The ordinary moments in Beau Whitaker‘s life are conveyed with grandeur to the canvas as well. His themes are found as he works as an equine vet in Salado, Texas. He strives for detail and hopes to capture the expressions of his subjects. He too recognizes the spectacular flashes that present themselves to those who pause and reflect on beautiful splendidness surrounding them.
Jennifer Moreman is an award winning, internationally known artist. She currently lives in Tyler, Texas with her husband Greg and four dogs. Jennifer graduated from Baylor University in 2004 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Studio Art. She is originally from Dallas, Texas where she attended Trinity Christian Academy. Jennifer has developed a fresh and original style of painting that layers multiple colors and allows her inner artist to completely take over. Her work is best described as captivating, expressive and whimsical. Jennifer enjoys using traditional subjects from nature and giving them a colorful, playful twist.
