EXHIBITS AT CROSSLAND GALLERY

Catherine “Kitty” Kistenmacher Exhibit

“Semi-Abstract Acrylics”, an exhibition of paintings by Catherine B. Kistenmacher, will open at the El Paso Art Association’s Crossland Gallery on Saturday, Aug. 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. The show, which will contain approximately 50 paintings, will be a retrospective of the artist’s work over the past 20 years.     

Four of the paintings will be transparent watercolors, the medium in which Kistenmacher worked before switching to acrylic and collage in 1991. The major part of the exhibit will feature paintings influenced by acrylic techniques taught by Colorado artist Louise Cadillac and Texas artist Jerry Seagle, who also incorporates collage into his acrylic paintings.      

Kistenmacher is an award winning artist and presently serves on the Board of Directors of the El Paso Art Association, the Rio Bravo Watercolorists and the International Association for the Visual Arts.     

A cordial invitation to her opening is being extended to members of the El Paso Art Association and art patrons of the El Paso community.
