Huntersville artist Beth Ybarra will talk about her work and
studies at the monthly meeting of the Lake Norman Art League on
Monday, Dec. 4, at 7 p.m., at Ada Jenkins Center, 212 Gamble
St., in Davidson.
Ybarra¹s colorful acrylic paintings depict landscapes and still-lifes.
She also creates works of papier mache. Since moving to
Huntersville from Baltimore three years ago, she has earned
honors at several area juried art shows. Her painting ³Rooftops
of Cadiz Spain² won Best of Show at the Lake Norman Art League¹s
Spring 2006 show, and her bright ³Watchful Ewe² took a third
place in the Art League¹s recently concluded Fall Show.
A Kentucky native, she is a member of both the Lake Norman Art
League and Charlotte Art League. She maintains a studio at the
Charlotte Art League studios in Charlotte.
Ybarra has a bachelor of fine arts degree in graphic design from
Drake University, in Iowa, and a master¹s degree in interior
design from the University of Kentucky.
She says she has always been a painter, since her childhood, and
she has continued to take classes throughout her painting
career. In 2004, she traveled to Cartuja, Spain, for a painting
workshop. She believes artists should begin with the basics and
develop their skills from there.
³Learn to draw first. Then you have the fundamentals. It¹s like
grammar. You need to know grammar before you can write an
essay,² she says.
