Recent works by ceramic artist Pat Herzog and Artist Diana Dee Sarkar will be on display. An opening reception for the featured artists will begin at 5:30 p.m., June 3; with complimentary refreshments and music performed by Kevin Walters.

Patricia Herzog – Pat has been working as a professional clay artist since 1978 after graduating from the University of Tennessee with a Master of Science Degree in Ceramics. Her recent work reflects her continued interest in color, decoration, texture and function. Her ceramic forms are inspired by her travels and Tennessee surroundings with an emphasis on animal imagery, universal patterns in nature, and the art of ancient cultures. She hopes her work portrays a sense of humaneness in this otherwise digital world.

Diana Dee Sarkar - During her 34 years as a physician with a busy medical practice, Diana Dee found time to paint. She liked to paint portraits and landscapes of the people and places she encountered doing volunteer medicine in third world countries because she wanted to share these experiences with her patients back home. Thus began her life in art. This versatile artist, who works in various mediums, enjoys painting landscapes which include people and animals. She remained a self-taught artist until 2005 until she decided to obtain an art education. She began studying oil painting at Woodstock School of Art with Hongnian Zhang, and figure oil painting with Nelson Shanks, Anthony Ryder, and Warren Chang. She also trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. Diana completed her MFA in figure painting at the Academy of Art University in 2014. While at AAU, she has continued to study pastel landscape painting with Gil Dellinger, Susan Olgilvie, Kim Lordier, Lorenzo Chavez and Clark Mitchell.
