December 14 Studio Visit Recap
Updated: Jan 20
In case you missed the annual Holiday Studio Visit with Barbara Lister-Sink and Melrose Tapscott Buchanan on Saturday, December 14, 2024, this video is for you!
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Barbara is passionate about both music and art. An internationally distinguished pianist and teacher, and a native North Carolinian, she developed an interest in art and art history while majoring in music at Smith College. Throughout her early career, Barbara created pastel drawings of the landscapes, seascapes, and irises of her native state. She has now navigated to ink and full heartedly pushed her artwork to complete abstraction. Barbara’s mediums of choice allow her easy access to color and line—coincidentally her favorite aspects of musical performance.
Melrose is an artist and an educator. She has taught drawing and painting classes and workshops at Reynolda House Museum of American Art, Sawtooth School of Visual Art, and Salem Academy and College. For many years Melrose taught two-day and week-long watercolor workshops in the mountains and at the beaches of North Carolina and Virginia (Chincoteague Island was a favorite spot). Melrose chooses to be a careful observer of the world around her. Her passion for observing and sketching from life, dreams, and memories drives her work. Her art is about the complexity of perception: the art of seeing, believing, meditating, and then giving herself permission to play with the images from her sketchbooks.
