(Aug. 3, 2017) Tomorrow’s Snow Hill Arts on the River First Friday event brings another evening filled with artist receptions at area galleries, special deals from local merchants and ample food, libations and musical entertainment from 5-8 p.m.
The Lower Shore Land Trust, 100 River Street, will feature artist Geo McElroy’s Eastern Shore inspired landscape paintings. McElroy, who will be on hand from 5-7:30 p.m. to provide insights into the creative process, shared some perspective in a press release about the event.
“I love the Shore and its environs,” she said. “We are so disconnected from nature in our daily lives, but here, on the Eastern Shore, we can still venture into wild places and explore.”
McElroy is a third generation artist, following in the steps of her mother and grandmother. In addition to taking studio courses at the Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington D.C., she also received a BFA from St. Mary’s College in Maryland. While pursuing a master’s degree from Salisbury University she rediscovered her passion for working with canvas and relaunched her painting pursuits.
