HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Artists Ryann Carey and Pete Rodrigues will be exhibiting recent works in their upcoming show, Drift, which will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd until May 25th. The opening reception will be on Friday, April 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm. During the reception, Ben Fisher will perform experimental/ambient music heavily influenced by North Carolina's deep tradition of folk music, on the patio in front of the gallery.

Painter Ryann Carey considers Drift an apt title for the watercolor work she has created for this show.  Says Carey "I am a bit of a wanderer both in place and mind.  Often sidetracked by the light reflecting off an electric wire or the pattern of the ripples on water, I let my observations lead the way for my watercolor paintings.  These moments surround us, often passing unnoticed, in the midst of joy, pain, sadness, hope."

Woodworker Pete Rodrigues creates not only unique handcrafted furniture, but also art that hangs on the wall. Using select hardwoods which he cuts, bends and shapes, Rodrigues uses his imagination as well as his knowledge of the properties of his materials to achieve his original designs. "For me, creating furniture as an art form is a process of visualizing what is possible- designing building, and then letting it be used as function as much as form" says Rodrigues. "For my featured show this year I'm excited about the work I will be displaying. As I continue to work on them, I'm enjoying how the process is more sculptural, having a general idea and drifting with it."
