Event Details
Local Wilmington artist Cordelia Norris is debuting her new exhibit, Wild Cape Fear, online at etsy.com/shop/LocalLoveBoutique. The exhibit was slated to open at The Art Council’s Aces Gallery this 4th Friday, March 27th, 2020 during the monthly Fourth Friday Gallery Tour. The event is cancelled due to the novel Coronavirus outbreak.
The online exhibit allows the community to enjoy new work and show its support for the Arts Council while Aces Gallery is closed. As with the planned gallery exhibit, 30% of online sales will benefit the Arts Council.
As homogenous development claims more of Wilmington, Norris spent the last year exploring the remaining wilderness to capture the essential wild nature of the North Carolina coast.
She spent hundreds of hours in the field, serving as a bird steward for NC Audubon, volunteering with Wrightsville Beach Sea Turtle Project, and exploring the region on foot and by kayak.
The resulting exhibit is an artistic distillation of the region and its diverse coastal ecologies, from marshes, rivers, and swamps to beaches, estuaries, and maritime forests. Dramatic, funny, and powerful, the paintings and photographs in Wild Cape Fear capture the colors and moods, the skies and the waters, and the sense of place that makes this region unique.
