Exhibit
Two local artists, Chris Small and BJ Hardin, are currently displaying their work at Elegante Restaurante in Ajijic. Both are members of the Ajijic Society of the Arts (ASA).
Small creates abstracts using acrylic paint in many layers to achieve the interesting look she is known for. The giclee prints of her work are a technique that creates a highly sophisticated reproduction of the original.
Hardin uses watercolor and ink to create vibrant images of Mexico and scenes around lakeside. She has a new series on elephants. She also loves to paint watercolor portraits of your pet from a photograph, creating a wonderful memory for your favorite pet.
