Showcasing Local Austin Texas Artists Work
November 14th, I attended a local Austin artist’s show. The artist Gretchen Gardner is a native Texan that attended the University of Texas in Austin. She received her Bachelor’s of Fine Art in 1984 with an emphasis in graphic design. Twenty years later she took an informal painting class, which inspired her to begin painting. Her passion is painting her pets and the pets of friends. She is now painting pet portraits on commission. She says the joy of painting family animals inspires her to keep painting. Clients bring photographs of the family pet and Gretchen creates colorful pet portraits from these photographs. Gretchen also paints still life paintings in a style similar to Andy Warhol on occasion. You may find Gretchen’s paintings at various art galleries around Austin. Right now she has an exhibit at The Imagine Art Gallery in east Austin, 2830 Real Street running through the end of November 2009.
