JAMESTOWN – If you\u2019ve ever wondered what the artist was pondering when she created her work, Women Create<\/strong> is offering an opportunity for you to find out.<\/p>\n

Every Wednesday evening in March, Salons will feature artists whose works are on display at Women Create, the biennial juried exhibit of women\u2019s art in Jamestown, New York. The presenters will give brief talks about their work, interspersed with questions, answers, and conversation.<\/p>\n

The Salons will be 7-9 p.m. at the 3rd on 3rd Gallery<\/strong>, 116 East Third Street, next to Reg Lenna Center for the Arts<\/strong> in downtown Jamestown.<\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5<\/h3>\n

On Wednesday, March 5, the first Salon of the series will spotlight Audrey Dowling<\/strong> and Margaret \u201cMegan\u201d Urban<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dowling, who is exhibiting her stoneware \u201cBlue Jay Energy,\u201d has been a professional artist for 30 years. Her work is widely collected and is represented in collections throughout the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I feel like the water of Bemus Creek stills flows through me,\u201d says Dowling. \u201cMy father and I would talk about the trees, the plants, the woods flowers, the birds, the animals and the people who came before. It gave me a deep understanding of the importance of stewardship and passion for preserving the earth\u2019s natural beauty. I try to convey these feelings through my art.\u201d<\/p>\n

Margaret \u201cMegan\u201d Urban has a pair of works on display at Women Create. Entitled \u201cTeak\u201d and \u201cOrange,\u201d both use pigment, wax and gold leaf on lead, steel and wood.<\/p>\n

Urban explains, \u201cThe Teak and Orange Shots were 3.8 megaton nuclear weapons exploded over the Marshall Islands as part of the 1958 Hardtack 1 test series. According to declassified reports from Los Alamos National Labs, [these explosions] were conducted even though there was a very real question that they might burn a hole in the ozone layer. The diagrams inscribed into the surfaces of the paintings had profound effect on scientific discovery, and this knowledge became the foundation for our understanding of the universe and for the splitting of the atom in the atomic bomb.”<\/p>\n
