Featured Artists:

Penny Ames is an American artist that utilizes recycled materials and found objects, painting simple images that focus on basic human needs. Penny strives to produce art that everyone can appreciate and obtain and believes all should have an opportunity to enjoy art.

Elizabeth Singletary has been an artist throughout her life.  She has been a professional calligrapher since the age of 11.  Her latest work can be seen in two major motion pictures: Robert Redford's "The Conspirator" and "Mysterious Island."   Most recently she has found her new medium of collage.  She uses pieces of magazines which she glues onto a canvas. She refers to it as "painting with paper."  Growing up part time on a farm in Tennessee, Elizabeth has always been inspired by the outdoors.  Most of her pieces reflect her love of nature and animals. Elizabeth has been chosen to be the 2013 Azalea Festival featured artist.

About the Gallery:

MC Erny was a devoted friend of WHQR from its earliest days. An accomplished actress and great party host, she was always generous with her time, financial support, and affection for the staff. She worked as a supervisor during many fundraisers and was a weekly presence at the front desk. MC was kind, gracious, elegant, witty and fun to be with. Our gallery space has been named in her honor.

The MC Erny Gallery is located in WHQR's studio in The Warwick Building at 254 N. Front Street, downtown Wilmington. Call WHQR at (910) 343-1640 for more information.
