“Vinalhaven” by Charles McVicker will be on display at the Garden State Watercolor Society’s 46th annual juried show, “Nature’s Beauty” August 11 to September 25, 2015.

The Garden State Watercolor Society is set to present its 46th annual juried show, “Nature’s Beauty,” at D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, Princeton, August 11 through September 25, 2015. An awards and closing reception is set to take place on September 25 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Artwork by 65 artists, from Cape May to Sussex County, was selected for the exhibition by juror Jeanne Dobie. Many of the artists are nationally known, such as Tom Chesar, Joan Gantz, Charles McVicker, Beth Shoenleber and Jinnie May.

Juror Dobie has also chosen the awards to be given September 25. Dobie is a nationally respected artist, author, educator and juror. Educated at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art (now University of the Arts), Dobie served on the faculty of Moore College of Art, Philadelphia. Her book “Making Color Sing,” well thumbed by watercolorists, is distributed internationally in English, French and Chinese. Watercolor Magazine recognized Dobie as one of the “20 Great Teachers” in 2006.

GSWS Member Emeritus Lucy McVicker will have a one-woman show in the first floor gallery. McVicker is a well-known Princeton artist who creates abstract work in water media using a wide variety of processes and techniques. This is McVicker’s first solo show at the gallery and she is excited to support D&R Greenway’s mission.

The exhibition will be on view in the Marie Matthews galleries of the Johnson Education Center Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. Closed holidays and special occasions.
