PARKERSBURG -- Christine Rhodes will exhibit her mixed-medium paintings at WesBanco Bank in July.
Rhodes is a native West Virginian and lifelong artist. She is the president of the West Virginia Watercolor Society.
She is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and West Virginia Watercolor Society and an associate member of the American Watercolor Society where her work has been exhibited in its International Juried Exhibition.
Rhodes is a juried Tamarack artist and has earned numerous awards in juried exhibitions, both regionally and at the national level.
"My artwork ranges from pure abstraction to realism. Rocks and cairns are among my favorite subjects. I enjoy the challenge of water media with its versatility and sometimes unexpected results," Rhodes said. "I am sometimes satisfied to paint what I see, but it's often more rewarding to paint from my imagination and show the viewer something they have never seen before."
Rhodes' art practice includes oil painting, water media, acrylic, collage and mixed media with subject matter ranging from realism to abstraction. Her work is held in private and corporate collections and is included in the permanent collection of contemporary art at the West Virginia State Museum.
The Christine Rhodes exhibit may be viewed during July at WesBanco Bank, 415 Market St., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday.
