Sally Meding will share her creative process in a painting demonstration entitled “Realism through Abstraction.” This event is being sponsored by the Wellesley Society of Artists, Inc. (WSA) and will take place at the Wellesley Free Library, 530 Washington Street, on Wednesday, September 27. A reception and WSA Fall show awards presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by Sally’s demo at 7 p.m. The reception and demo are free of charge and open to the public, though the Society urges those attending to bring a non-perishable food item for the WSA Food Drive for the Wellesley Food Pantry.
Sally Meding, a native of London, obtained a PhD in Freiburg, Germany and immigrated to the United States in 1990. She is a signature member of the New England and Southwestern Watercolor Societies, as well as the WSA. As a versatile artist, Sally creates mostly semi-abstract works in watercolor on paper. In her artwork, she playfully uses color and shape in a game of “contrasts,” particularly pitting warm against cool, bright against dull, and light against dark. She enjoys the challenge of painting a wide variety of subject matter where a “contrast” catches her eye. She has appeared on HGTV “That’s Clever” and is published in Nita Leland’s book, “Confident Color” (North Light, 2008). She has a studio in Natick, and teaches watercolor at all levels in the Metro West area. Sally’s artwork is in private and corporate collections in Germany, the UK, California, Texas, and Massachusetts.
