SUMMARY:Artist Talk with our Featured Gallery Artist BF Reed!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Artist Talk with our Featured Gallery Artist BF Reed\, April 25th from 11:00am to 12:00pm in the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center at 130 Turner Street\, Beaufort\, NC. Coffee and refreshments will be available as Reed will present an engaging artist talk and live demonstration focused on the pastel medium. She will begin with a brief overview of pastel – its history\, unique qualities\, and why it remains a powerful and often misunderstood fine art medium. The demonstration will follow\, offering insight into her personal process\, including surface preparation\, layering techniques\, and the development of light and form. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how a painting evolves in real time and to ask questions throughout the session.\n \nThis event is FREE\, although an RSVP is requested so we can prepare adequate seating for those who plan to attend. RSVP by calling 252.728.5225 Monday – Saturday\, 9:30am – 5:00pm.\nBF Reed is a contemporary artist working in both highly realistic pastel and expressive abstract acrylic painting. Her work explores light\, reflection\, and the balance between control and spontaneity—often juxtaposing precise observation with atmospheric\, intuitive mark-making. Drawing inspiration from coastal North Carolina and carefully constructed still life arrangements\, her paintings invite viewers to pause and look more closely at the interplay between reality and perception.\n \nAnd this recent news: We congratulate BF Reed on her 2nd Place award at the Wilmington Art Association’s 44th Annual Juried Art Show last month! The painting that received the award is ‘Tea Before the Clouds Move’ pictured far right in the accompanying image\, which is indicative of her love of blue and white porcelain and reflective objects. Curing waves\, glass\, botanicals\, and koi are also prominent subjects in her work.\nBF is currently our featured artist in the Mattie King Davis Gallery where many stunning pastel pieces are on display and available for purchase. Don’t miss the April 25th talk or her show in the Gallery through May 27\, 2026!
