Woven Images Using Paper and Watercolor 

Artist Reception: Jun 3, 4-6 PM

Artist Talk: Jun 4, 2:00 PM

About The Artist:

While most of the work of Cynthia Reid has been in watercolor, she also works with graphite, ink, collage, and most recently, paper weaving, a medium that began as something new for her to explore during the pandemic.

Cynthia’s love of paper weaving—and the possibilities it presented—bloomed as she discovered beautiful handmade papers from around the world. Cynthia especially likes weaving those papers with her own watercolors, as shown here in one of the works that will exhibit at the Art Center.

Born in New York City and raised nearby, Cynthia later moved to Texas where she completed her formal training in art and worked as a high school art teacher before retiring to continue a life of making and teaching art. Her works on paper have been shown nationally and internationally.

Photographic Interpretations and Personality 

Artist Reception: July 8, 4-6 PM

Artist Talk: July 9, 2:00 PM

About The Artist:

At her core, Sydney Paige Richardson is a creator, a storyteller. Her work focuses on her emotional responses to occurrences in life. Her goal is to create work that explores emotions, bends reality, and creates new worlds. She primarily shoots in her backyard or fields near her house. Using compositing in Photoshop, she moves the subject into worlds she creates by piecing together other photographs she has taken. For her, it’s like building a puzzle that only she knows how to finish. She creates other realms through this conceptual portraiture and adds textures to give each piece a painterly, timeless feel. Her work allows others to dive into a story, reflect on the beauty of emotions, and discover the magical possibilities of where our minds can take us.

Sydney resides in Round Rock with her husband, where they foster and foster-to-adopt teens in the foster care system. They currently have two sassy kids and three slightly oversized cats.

Ten-Year Anniversary Exhibit 

Artist Reception: August 19, 4-6 PM

Artist Talk: August 20, 2:00 PM

About The Artist:

The work of Houston-based artist Laura Spector was shown as the inaugural exhibit of the Georgetown Art Center when it opened its doors in October 2013. Aptly labeled as our “Ten Year Anniversary Exhibit”, Laura’s August-September showing at the Art Center will present a sampling of her nationally and internationally acclaimed work.

Laura is perhaps best known for her Museum-Anatomy project which began in 1996, where she collaborated with museum curators in 16 countries searching for hidden, stolen, lost, and destroyed paintings to be re-contextualized in paint onto the human body and made permanent through photography.

Widely honored, Laura is currently an Artist-in-Residence recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation and teaches art at the School of Continuing Studies at Rice University, The High School for Performing and Visual Art, and private studio lessons.
