Featuring Artist Ann Benton Yeager in the Main Floor Showcase
In September, artist Ann Benton Yeager will display the exhibit titled Ann Benton Yeager Modern Art Solo Show, which will include various sizes of her abstract cold wax and oil paintings. Cold wax is an oil painting medium which is a buttery soft paste made of beeswax mixed with a small amount of solvent and alkyd resin. The cold wax paste is mixed with oil paint and applied to wood panels to add body, transparency and a depth to the oil paint. Ann enjoys using tools and solvents to peel back the different layers to expose the colors that lie underneath the surface. She also adds collage, sand, and/or marble dust to add interest to her paintings. Ann hails from Millersville, PA and is a self-taught, abstract artist. Ann's great, great Uncle was Thomas Hart Benton, who mentored Jackson Pollock. She enjoys working in various mediums, including mixed media, cold wax and oil, alcohol inks, watercolor, and fluid art.
