Santa Cruz Artist Mary Karlton Featured in Exhibit Honoring

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., November 7, 2012 -- Santa Cruz artist Mary Karlton is displaying her work at the juried exhibit, "Lines and Colors: Celebrating Degas," at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock, California from November 7, 2012 through February 3, 2013. The show honors the great French impressionist Edgar Degas and offers visitors the unique perspective of artists from the region on Degas, the artist and the man. The exhibit emphasizes the use of line and color while capturing vivid moments in modern human life. Following this theme, Ms. Karlton presents her piece "In Bloom," an oil painting in the French Impressionist style of a young woman relaxing on a wooden stool. Ms. Karlton's use of bright colors and soft lighting, along with the youthful glow of the subject, are reminiscent of Degas' signature style and his celebration of the beauty of the human form.

Concurrent with this exhibit is "Edgar Degas: The Private Impressionist, Works on Paper by the Artist and his Circle," on view from October 6, 2012 until January 13, 2013. Featuring more than 100 works on paper, the exhibit includes drawings, prints, pastels, and photographs by Degas from his early days at the Louvre to late in his career as well as works by artists in his circle.
