In Their Own Words
Mollie Flack:
"I treasured the gift of art ever since childhood, when I drew horses, while sitting on the back of a big quarterhorse named Buck on a farm in Ohio. When our family moved to Alaska, I was inspired by its beauty with breath taking compositions at every turn. My formal instruction began in Georgia in 2000, and it continued in our present Northern California location. I work primarily in oils, and I consider myself a pursuer of light and a recorder of historically significant people and places. Committed to a lifetime of learning, I am passionate about creating beauty in my paintings and teaching others to find their own creative expression on canvas. Both bring me joy."
Sharon Crabill:
"I was born and raised in Southern California. In 1988, I moved to Redding and became a part of the community of Shasta County artists. I studied painting and design at Shasta College, and figure drawing and 3-D design at the University of South Alabama. I am strongly influenced by the Hudson River School of artists whose works captured the airy feeling and serene atmosphere of nature. The many natural wonders here in Northern California bring that same lure to my senses. Whether it's a rushing creek or a magnificent waterfall, I want to transfer that feeling to my paintings, and the result can be as quiet as a whisper or as loud as a shout. That is my hope."
Meet and visit with the artists at the Orland Art Center Gallery.
