Spiritual Art Exhibits Open in Red Bluff Art Gallery

Jan. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Corning resident Fran Watson is a dedicated and driven artist opening an exhibit of her new work at the Red Bluff Art Gallery on Friday, February 3. Ms. Watson is 93-years-young.

The exhibit is called “Songs of Divine Intent Collection” and will feature paintings and written work by Watson.

“Fran has her own unique style. She developed her style as a ‘spiritual painter’ and ‘constructionist’ in the 1970’s. By ‘constructionist.’  I mean she builds each piece of her art, glues them together and forms a completed painting. It is a unique style,” according to Ana Nelson, Co-Director of the Red Bluff Art Gallery.

Watson is also a writer and has recently had her 11th book published. Enititled, “What If…We the People” it explores the possibility of individual transformation into a more spiritual human being. She will be signing copies of the new book at her Opening Reception on Friday, February 3rd.

“I truly believe that we are all basically creative geniuses at heart, using our God given creativity as a means of developing our human life, persona, and world.” says Ms. Watson, “ I hope my art and poetry will reflect some of that.”

This high-energy artist will have about 35 pieces on exhibit. She paints everyday and has 11 new pieces in the works at the moment. She is also working on her next book.

“Fran has a lot of energy  and uses it to express herself in her art and writing. She works harder than a lot of younger people and has accomplished a great deal in her life,” says Gallery Director Nelson.

Watson formerly had art studios in Oroville and Grass Valley over the years. She now works out of her studio in Corning.

“I look to the future with joyful anticipation. It has taken me a long time to ‘grow-up’ and I aim to make the most of it,” relates Fran.

This interesting and spiritually-oriented exhibit certainly reflects Watson’s positive attitude.

An Artists’ Reception and Opening will be held at the Red Bluff Art Gallery, 601 Walnut Street, on Friday, February 3, from 5 to 8 PM. All are welcome and dress is casual.
