The Ouachita River Art Gallery's featured Artist-of-the-Month for May is Monroe painter, Anne Eberle. When Anne moved to Monroe one of her first purchases was a book, The Southern Gardener. The rich soil and warmer, wetter climate of the area led to high expectations and a joy in the available beauty in local gardens. Anne feels nature offers a serenity not easily found elsewhere. She says, “I offer homage to beauty that lies all around us.”
In this exhibit Anne returns to one of her first and lasting loves, the beauty of flowers. A Touch of Floral displays different approaches to painting flowers. Watercolor is Anne's first choice of medium for this endeavor, as she feels it lends itself to the transparency and delicacy found in flowers. Graduating from Purdue University in Applied Design, Anne worked for Hallmark, Inc. and later taught silver jewelry making. She has a Masters in Painting from the then Northeast Louisiana University. Anne has taught watercolor in the Monroe area. She has had many paintings accepted in exhibitions and many of her works are held in private and public collections. Anne Eberle‘s exhibit A Touch of Floral may be seen for the entire month of May at the Ouachita River Art Gallery, 308 Trenton Street, West Monroe. When you shop at your local gallery, you not only help our economy by keeping your money in the area, you also save on taxes and shipping. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. Paintings and photographs by gallery members can also be seen at ORAG’s extension gallery located in the lobby of Ouachita Independent Bank/Bankers Mortgage Plaza at 18th and Louisville in Monroe.
