''Six Figure Artists'' at Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts

The concept for the exhibition is for each local artist member of Six Figure Artists to paint the same model during the same session, showing the different perspectives (both literally and artistically) that each artist uses in rendering a common subject. In addition, each has created a second, smaller painting that is an extension of the artist's individuality, to hang alongside the group subject. Six Figure Artists has been meeting twice a month in the Tomball area since November 2006. The group was established as a way for the participating artists to develop their skills by painting a live model while enjoying the fellowship of like-minded artists. Apart from one change early in the group's history, the line-up has remained unchanged: Lesley Humphrey, Marty Hatcher, Liz Hill, Fred Hulser, Dawn McKelvy and Howie Doyle. The group's artists practice a variety of painting mediums and styles, but each is dedicated to continuous creative growth and development. Six Figure Artists is united as a group around the human figure as an ideal subject, with each member dedicated to exploring and sharing the figure's unlimited artistic possibilities. This is an ongoing exhibit. The "meet the artists" reception will be held on July 24.
