May at Sutter Creek Gallery: Jo Ann Ogburn

Painting taught Jo Ann Ogburn to really look at things in nature, to see the colors, shapes, values and textures.  She originally learned to paint in oils but eventually settled on watercolors as her preferred medium.  Her watercolor art will be featured at Sutter Creek Gallery during the month of May, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 6, from 2 to 5 p.m.

Strong colors and contrasts are important to Ogburn  The play between highlights and shadows are especially intriguing and are evident in a number of her works  She lives on a sizable parcel in Pioneer which provides her with ample opportunities for observation.  Inspired by nature and her surroundings, she paints primarily florals, animals and landscapes.  Along with her paintings, Ogburn produces an extensive line of cards.  She continues her artistic education, taking a wide variety of workshops and periodically teaching classes of her own in watercolor.  As a member of the Amador County Artists Association, her work is exhibited in various businesses around the county.

Sutter Creek Gallery invites you to meet Jo Ann Ogburn at her reception on May 6 and to view her watercolor artworks.  Besides original paintings and photography, the gallery offers many affordable items including prints, cards, jewelry, pottery, fused glass and gourds as well as custom matting and framing,  The gallery, located at 40 Main Street, Sutter Creek, is open Thursday through Monday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  For additional information, call 209-267-0228, email suttercreekgallery@gmail.com, or visit www.suttercreekgallery.com.
