Art gallery to feature resin works
Unique works in resin will be showcased by Boulder City Art Guild in its gallery throughout April.
Birgit Tode, the month’s featured artist, began working in resin about two years ago. She said she “loves to play” with the fluid medium and its many colors. She has no formal training in the use of resins and is inspired by her feelings.
“It invites experimenting with different techniques and materials, beyond the usual classic approaches to resin on canvas,” she said.
The public is invited to meet Tode and see her works during a reception from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, April 6, in the gallery.
The gallery is inside Boulder Dam Hotel, 1305 Arizona St., and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.
