Skip to main content“Wild Things”—The Paintings of Shannon Bueker Reception
The Pittsboro Gallery of Arts presents the work of guest artist Shannon Bueker in a Featured Artist Show on display Tuesday, Sept. 8, through Sunday, Oct. 4. A reception will be held Friday, Sept. 18, from 5-8 p.m.
Bueker has been an integral part of the arts community in Chatham County for decades. She is a founding member of the organization that became the Chatham Artists Guild, serving as president multiple times and consistently supporting the work of fellow artists while building her own artistic career. She is among those who helped make Chatham County a haven for artists and a destination for art lovers.
Bueker’s acrylic and watercolor paintings are easily identifiable as her own. Her color choices and remarkable brushwork capture the energy of her subjects while maintaining artistic balance. The exhibition, Wild Things, features some of Bueker’s favorite subjects, including a goddess figure carrying a bear in a bag around her waist, wild horses prancing, deer grazing, rabbits, dogs, snakes and many more creatures that seem to cavort off the canvases.
Bueker’s drawings and paintings have long been motivated by her response to the beauty she sees around her. The grace of trees and plants, the fluidity of animals and the vivid colors of the earth inspire her to paint and draw. She sees her work as an attempt to reveal nature’s grace by unfolding its layers of interconnection and surprising overlaps.
Bueker writes, “This life we have is a gift. It is a wonder to me that it comes in so many shapes, sizes, and forms.”
The Pittsboro Gallery of Arts invites visitors to celebrate the gifts of Shannon Bueker and her work.
