“As I See It” – Lu Wixon
Lu Wixon invites you to the opening reception for her solo show titled “As I see It” at the Metropolitan Arts Council on July 24, 2025. Come meet the artist, enjoy light refreshments, and see her artwork!
Lu grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana where she earned a BFA from the University of Louisiana. After graduation, she spent two years in Trinidad, West Indies, quickly earning a reputation as an artist. She currently lives in Greenville, South Carolina with her husband where she is involved in the arts community as an artist and former arts educator. Lu exhibits regularly in the Carolinas and Louisiana and welcomes the community into her studio.
I paint on wood because I enjoy the organic feel the surface evokes. Line, shape, color, and negative space, are the tools I use to portray my feelings of the joy and beauty of the world. The “outlines’ in my work are actually where I don’t paint, allowing the wood surface to be part of the composition. My current subjects include figures interacting with the landscape and various aspects of nature. A partial documentation of my body of work is available at www.LuWixon.com.
