The Delaware Division of the Arts Mezzanine Gallery will present an exhibition titled The Sky’s the Limit by Karin Snoots from October 4-25, 2013. The Gallery, open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is located in the Carvel State Office Building, 820 N. French Street, Wilmington. There will be a reception to meet the artist on Friday, October 4 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. as part of Wilmington’s Art Loop.
This solo exhibition of Karin Snoots’ work will showcase a series of paintings on canvas, surf boards, and street signs. The artist’s newly developed contemporary style is a significant shift from her more traditional renderings. Through her paintings, Karin Snoots’ fundamental mission is to have her art serve as a catalyst for environmental awareness and conservation. She finds inspiration in the drama of nature and is constantly challenged to capture the dramatic sense of scale in space and light.
Individual Artist Fellow in Painting, Karin Snoots has exhibited her work regionally and locally and is a signature member of both the American Society of Marine Artists and Artists for Conservation Foundation and a member of the Ocean Artists Society. Snoots has formal training as a commercial illustrator, but her passionate interest in nature has moved her art far beyond illustration. The artist received her degree from American University and currently lives in Harbeson, DE.
