Exhibitions to close on Nov. 29
Floyd County residents with pieces in the New Works exhibition include Barb Ackerman, Diohn Brancaleoni, Charlie Brouwer, Andrew Conner, Carrie Gault, Steve Hessler, Steven Kenny,Catheerine Pauley, Marsha Paulekas, Estela Salas, and Howard Wenger.
Three exhibitions are in their final month of display at the Floyd Center for the Arts, including one that features artists who live within 150 miles of the artistic hub.
“Atmospheric Enchantments and Earthly Astonishments” by Gina Louthian-Stanley explores the intersection of nature, texture, and light. Her layered compositions echo the rhythms of the Blue Ridge region while reflecting universal themes of renewal and wonder.
Through her use of encaustic and cold wax mediums, Louthian-Stanley creates luminous landscapes that blur the line between realism and emotion. Each of her works usually begins without a preconceived image, and the finished product invites viewers to pause — to notice the fleeting beauty of the natural world and the quiet transformations that shape it.

Louthian-Stanley, whose home studio is in Roanoke, started working with wax as a medium in 2006, her website states, and she’s been a monotype printmaker since the late-70s. She holds degrees from Hollins and Radford universities.
Floyd Center for the Arts hosted Louthian-Stanley for an Artist Talk on Oct. 25.
Also on display at the Center is a solo exhibition titled “Memories Fading into Oblivion" by Russ Young. The collection of black-and-white and digital photographs “invited viewers to experience Floyd County through a timeless lens,” the Center states.
