Broad Strokes Gallery presents their April Artists of the Month: painter Jack Hurley and ceramicist Terry Swanson.

Jack Hurley developed a love of drawing and watercolor in high school, but worked in a non-related industry for most of his career. Since retirement, he has studied with master painters, perfecting his craft. He most recently spent six years studying color and form with a focus on Renaissance techniques. Jack is inspired by classical and bravura painters such as Caravaggio, Whistler, Turner, and Dalí.

Terry Swanson spent 35 years as a seamstress, quilter, and embroidery artist, developing a strong sense of form, color, and design. She also spent four years sailing the western Caribbean, scuba diving and recording the vibrant reef life in watercolor journals— experiences that continue to influence her work. Working in sculptural clay, her pieces depict nature in the water, on land, and in the air.

Featured Student Art Pamlico High School, the advanced art class of Ms Holly Bradley presents watercolor polaroids.

The Gallery is at 730 Broad St, open 10a-5p Fri & Sat. 11a-4p Sun, Wed, & Thurs.
