Colleen Ringrose art exhibit at SCC explores watermarks

Southeastern Community College will hold a public reception on Feb. 25 from 5-7 p.m. to mark the opening of an art exhibit featuring work inspired by watermarks and wall papers from the 1930s.

Artist Colleen Ringrose created the collection of encaustic paintings by combining the ancient art of wax painting with the computer technology of digital copy transfers. Her work focuses on the intersection of pictures of people and text.

These specific works were inspired by a book for stamp collectors from 1936.

“Music Crowns” is one of the pieces by Wilmington-based Artist Colleen Ringrose that will be included in an exhibit of her work at Southeastern Community College. The exhibit opens February 25 with a reception in the A-Building Upstairs Gallery from 5-7 p.m.
