Adele Wayman, Painting
Adele Wayman is a professional artist and dedicated teacher who has exhibited for many years in North Carolina and also in Washington, DC, NYC, Florida and China. She is Hege Professor of Art at Guilford College where she has taught for 34 years. She teaches drawing, design, art history and painting, challenging her students to excel and explore their own directions while supporting their process.
Her paintings in oil stick and oils on canvas are responses to nature, its cycles, its light and never ending changes. Two of the paintings represented here were exhibited in the Guilford College Biennial Art Faculty Exhibit, Spring 2006. The third is a new painting of a dahlia disappearing in the weeds, which continues the theme and style of the daylilies. Here are some excerpts from her Wayman’s statement from that exhibit. (Day lilies) last only one day. As I walked through the garden and picked the flowers, they began to show up both in the studio and my meditation practice as images of impermanence. This awareness entered into the way I put on the paint, more loosely and freely than before, allowing the brush drawings of the forms to flow from the paint and even drip down the surface calling attention to the process, materials and impermanence.
