Hollabaugh Exhibit, Reception
“Through My Eyes”
Opening Reception: 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 25
A fascinating watercolor exhibit features the work of 90-year-old Carolyn Hollabaugh. Featured in the exhibit are abstract works influenced by her Macular Degeneration, a medical condition that results in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. Other works are considered older legacy pieces.
The exhibit, “Through My Eyes,” opens Friday, April 25 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.
Hollabaugh earned her R.N. degree in 1955 at Springfield City Hospital School of Nursing before settling in Dallas, Texas. While raising three young children, she rekindled her teenage love of art by studying with watercolorist Naomi Brotherton.
Throughout her nursing career and later into retirement, Carolyn continued to create and study under master artists with the Southwestern Watercolor Society.
She has exhibited her artwork since the 1970s, and this is her eighth local exhibit since moving to Southern Illinois in 2012. Carolyn invites you to experience her evolving artistic vision “Through My Eyes.”
