The exhibit, which is titled “A Series of Themes,” will begin with a reception Friday, Oct. 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the library and research commons. Light refreshments will be available.
“My goal is to capture the simple beauty of our surroundings and express it in a new way,” Adkins said. She has done impressionist paintings using watercolor and acrylics and most recently abstracts using acrylic and oil pastels, collages and mixed media.
She has studied with Doug Walton in Huntington and June Kilgore and Hank Keeling in Charleston.
Some of her previous exhibits in West Virginia include the Main Street Studio, Carnegie Hall, the Culture Center, Renaissance Gallery, Sunrise, the Federal Building, Stifel Fine Arts Center, the University of Charleston and the Huntington Museum of Art. In Ohio, she has shown her work at the French Art Colony.
