The art exhibit, “A Walk in the Woods,” by Cindy Taplin, will be opening this week at the Stokes County Arts Council in the Apple Gallery.
A reception for the artist whose work will be featured, where she will be available to meet with members of the public, is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 4 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Apple Gallery, at 500 Main Street in Danbury.
Taplin was born in High Point and has spent most of her life in Forsyth County. She earned a B.A. in mathematics at Salem College, where she also studied studio art. Her paintings were exhibited annually at Artworks Gallery in Winston-Salem from 2009 – 2017, and she is a founding member of Delurk Gallery in Winston-Salem.
Her paintings have been featured in the Southern Idiom series at SECCA. She was invited to participate in Green Hill Gallery’s Winter Show in 2013 and 2017. Most recently, she had a piece in Cameron Art Museum’s State of the Art/Art of the State exhibition in Wilmington.
Taplin mostly makes large acrylic paintings, but she said she also loves to make tiny landscape paintings for Artists in Cellophane to send all to Art-o-Mat hosts all over the United States. Most of her painting ideas come from long walks in beautiful settings. In addition to painting, Taplin enjoys gardening, and writing and playing songs.
This exhibit will be on display Nov. 16-Dec. 31 in the Apple Gallery. The Stokes County Arts Council is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. For additional information about the exhibit, contact the Stokes County Arts Council at 336-593-8159 or visit www.stokesarts.org.
