A former Home Economics teacher\, she has worked with batik and weaving which evolved into folk art quilts and a love of the modern art quilt movement. \nIn the late 90’s\, her work centered on abstract expressionism using dyed natural material and surface design\, creating gentle tonal contrasts and layers that interact with each other. Her method of direct cutting\, without the use of patterns\, was innovative at that time. Her work continues to evolve through experimentation. \nSince the early 2000s\, her work includes photography\, printed\, or transferred onto fabric\, paper or created and mixed media substrates. \nShe has created several innovative digital fiber techniques. Holographic Images presents multiple layered pieces of photographs printed on silk organza and borders of painted and surface designed fabrics. These pieces create a 3-D effect that moves as the viewer changes positions. \nWen continues to investigate the digital world\, but also imaginative presentations that add to the pioneering exploration of her media and give her work edge. \nShe splits her time from her home studio in New Hampshire and part time in North Carolina. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to read Wen Redmond’s Artist Statement. \n  URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/wen-redmond-musings-memory-and-magic/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Spring Solo Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/To-Make-Wonder-Again-300-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260417T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260607T140000 DTSTAMP:20260428T183418Z CREATED:20260317T185513Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260428T183418Z UID:10000241-1776448800-1780840800@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Oxana Kovalchuk: Turning Point DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: April 17\, 2026 from 6-8pm \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOxana Kovalchuk is a New York–based visual artist born in Kazakhstan who earned her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2019.

The wonderful aspect of painting flowers is that they won’t wilt or go to seed. In this workshop you’ll learn how to plan ahead\, paint with courage\, and know when to put your brush down. Overworking is more detrimental to flowers than Japanese beetles. Discover the art of brushstroke\, balancing water-to-pigment ratios\, color mixing\, understanding pigment behavior\, painting around the whites\, and effectively managing the background. Novice – advanced.  \nTuition: Members:$110/Non-Members: $135 \nAbout the Instructor \nDoris Ettlinger: A graduate of RISD and the University of Wisconsin – Madison; teacher/coach of the Musconetcong Watercolor Group in Hampton NJ.

Working with a clothed model\, we’ll warm up with gesture drawings\, then paint short poses with one color for the shadow. Eventually\, we will paint a longer pose exploring how light interacts with the figure\, revealing its form and details. We’ll let colors blend where the values are the same. I will try to channel what I learned from two masters\, Mel Stabin and Charles Reid. Their figures were full of light and life. \nTuition: Members:$110/Non-Members: $135 \nAbout the Instructor \nDoris Ettlinger: A graduate of RISD and the University of Wisconsin – Madison; teacher/coach of the Musconetcong Watercolor Group in Hampton NJ.
