Reception: Friday, February 17, 4-6 p.m.
Location: Second Floor Gallery
There are so many things blooming in our lives again. We have a new appreciation of our relationships and the things that surrounded us. Nature has shown its resilience.
Trees are growing straight and tall baring new leaves. Even the wildflowers are starting to explode. It is an exciting time to see life re-start in front of us.
We are anxious to see how each of our artists express the happiest part of re-opening in watercolor.
Waterloo Watercolor Group is a 501 (c) (3) corporation organized for educational purposes over 43 years ago.
Today, WWG has grown from a small group of 15 charter members to a large number of enthusiastic water media artists with the purpose of promoting and educating the practice and appreciation of all water media art as a significant and creative permanent medium.

Exhibit: March 28-April 6, 2023
Reception: Wednesday, March 29, 5-7 p.m.
Location: First Floor Lobby and Cafe Gallery; Second Floor Bridge and Hall Galleries
Every year since 2008, the Georgetown Public Library has partnered with the Georgetown Independent School District to offer an annual art exhibit. Last year’s exhibit of student artwork was virtual only, but this year hundreds of works of art by K-12 students will fill the library once again! It is always rewarding and eye-opening to see the creative work being done by students of all ages under the guidance of the 27 visual arts teachers in Georgetown’s 18 schools, and we are happy to welcome the show back this year.
This exhibit celebrates the creativity of student art and demonstrates the robust art programs in all GISD schools. Students in GISD explore and refine their skills in a wide variety of media and techniques including photography, ceramics, painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture and textiles.
Art students in GISD also have opportunities to experience art through service-learning projects, collaborative art in the form of community murals, capstone projects and college and career readiness.
The exhibit opens March 28 and will remain up through April 6. Come see the surprising range of work students are doing, and if you come to the exhibit reception March 29 from 5-7 p.m., you can thank the creative and engaged visual arts teachers who guide the students’ efforts every day.

Event Details
Exhibit: April 11-May 14, 2023
Reception: Friday, April 14, 4-6 p.m.
Location: Cafe Gallery
Light: Interrupted
Jan Anderson-Paxon has loved photography all her life. She has worked as a photo-journalist and photo educator, continues to take photographs for the sheer joy of it!
She prefers to work in black and white. She likes to pare the scene down to its essentials of line, shape or form, light and shadow.Light is very important in the photograph. A lot of things can affect the amount and quality of light. The direction of the angle of light changes according to the time of day. When the sun in low in sky, such as in morning, or with the setting sun, that is a much different light than when the sun is straight overhead under a noon-day sun. Something blocking the light such clouds, fog, or water, can also change the quality of light.
When light is blocked in some way, it alters the way things look. It tends to isolate objects. So, some of the photographs play on the juxtaposition of near and far objects. And besides isolating objects, with the light partly obscured, the atmosphere creates a mood of quietness, melancholy, or even a feeling of mystery.

Gretchen has been evolving her artistic expression for decades, designing clothing; creating sterling silver artisan jewelry; painting portraits and
landscapes in a variety of media; faux finishing luxury homes; painting theater sets and murals.
This collection of paintings explores areas in and around Georgetown that we all have seen but may not immediately recognize. . .the hidden back alleys, green spaces, and industrial structures that will seem familiar and have us asking “where is that?!” Otherwise unglamourous views can become studies in light, shadow, and texture.

Event Details
Exhibit: June 20-July 23, 2023
Reception: Friday, June 23 4p.m.-6p.m.
Location: Second Floor Gallery
‘It’s All About the Lights’ is a one-person show by local artist LaWann Tull. It is a multi-subject exhibit centered on emotion and contains dramatic light and atmospheric effects leading the viewer’s eyes through the artwork. The exhibit is composed of new and some retrospective paintings of animals, people, still life, and landscapes.
“I paint the things I most deeply respond to and have been described as a whimsical and romantic painter using bold color. During a recent show in Italy a guest likened my paintings to being in a dream which thrilled me! I paint idealism to stimulate the imagination. My art is set apart from most oil painters by my use of an indirect technique from the Old Master’s that creates depth, glow and colors mixed optically that don’t exist in a tube.”
LaWann Tull is a native Texan and resides in the hill country that she loves outside of Georgetown.
“I grew up in West Texas and following graduation I landed my dream job as a sales agent for two international airlines. Exposure to art museums worldwide and scenery that only seemed to exist in the movies has influenced my style and artistic expression. Italy is my favorite destination of mine to return to study. I have been influenced and painted with some of the most notable artists and teachers in the nation including Daniel E. Greene, David Chiefetz, Vie Dunn-Harr, Lajos Markos, William Henry Earle, Dick Turner and Georgetown’s own infamous artist, Dalhart Windberg.”

Exposure to art museums worldwide and scenery that only seemed to exist in the movies has influenced my style and artistic expression. Italy is my favorite destination of mine to return to study. I have been influenced and painted with some of the most notable artists and teachers in the nation including Daniel E. Greene, David Chiefetz, Vie Dunn-Harr, Lajos Markos, William Henry Earle, Dick Turner and Georgetown’s own infamous artist, Dalhart Windberg.”

Location: Cafe Gallery
Shruti’s art work spans a wide range from rural life, ethnic women, festivals and seasons, to landscapes and abstract art. She likes to create fusion of regional art styles from India with western art styles. Shruti captures her expansive vision through a variety of mediums such as oil, acrylic and mixed media. She includes elements of realism, modernism, and then adds her own perspective in her paintings.
Shruti also has passion for teaching art. She completed her Spring 2021 Emerging Teaching Artist Fellowship cohort coordinated by City of Austin, Mindpop, AISD. She has served as a jury for curated and juried art exhibits. Her art piece has been selected for the People’s Gallery, City Hall in Austin, March 2020 to January 2022 and again this year in 2022 she has her art work at the People’s Gallery. Shruti’s solo exhibit was hosted by City of Austin at the Asian American Resource center, October 4-December 14, 2019. Her artwork has been exhibited at several venues in the Austin area.
In December 2020, Decibel ATX, Austin PBS, made a short movie on Shruti’s art styles and her journey as an artist.
