IN THE GALLERY AT WOODS

WATERCOLOR GARDEN

Paintings by Joan Machinchick

April 7 through May 12

Spring comes to the Woods Gallery by way of beautiful watercolor paintings by Annapolis artist Joan Machinchick. Joan draws her inspiration from nature and often combines painting, calligraphy, digital composite art and artist’s books.  She has recently returned to her watercolor roots, focusing on flowers and gardens. 

She holds a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art.  Her professional graphic design career spanned 40 years and included a variety of clients such as publishers, NASA , entertainment professionals, wedding and event stationery and watercolor maps for Chesapeake Bay Magazine.  Included in her book design and illustration projects are an award winning book about the Magothy River, “My River Speaks” by Marianne Taylor. 

Her books, articles and book reviews have been published in several books and magazines and she as exhibited in many juried exhibits in the Mid-Atlantic area as well as in Arizona.  In May and June she will have a solo exhibit in the Galleries at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis.

We are pleased that she frequently chooses to exhibit in the Woods Gallery.
