“Blue Landscape”
Water media on linen canvas
Art in Bloom Gallery is pleased to present Cary artist and painter, Constance Pappalardo. Whether she is working in black and white or in color Constance’s contemporary abstract watercolors evoke feelings of hope and peace, in addition to beauty. Her black and white works are inspired by music where her paintings in color are about light and imagination. Constance’s color work is heavily influenced by nature and the magic of the ever-changing landscape.
Constance was born in Lima, Peru. She moved to New York City at the age of eight. The art and culture of the city inspired her to pursue her art studies. After high school, Ms. Pappalardo studied painting at The School of Visual Arts, in Manhattan. Pappalardo now lives in Cary, North Carolina. Her contemporary abstract watercolors have been featured in numerous galleries in Cary, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and other cities in North Carolina.

Functional Pottery by Traudi Thornton (1940-2023)
Art in Bloom Gallery is pleased to continue our collaboration with the estate of master ceramicist, Traudi Thornton (1940-2023).
Traudi continues her unique presence at Art in Bloom Gallery, where she participated in exhibits and sales beginning in 2015. The gallery is pleased to present “Pottery, Pantry & ‘Seconds Sale’” featuring unique works of pottery by the artist along with a selection of “Seconds”. A second in pottery means that the work has slight imperfections such as flaws or pitting on the glazed surface, blemishes, stress cracks or glaze drips. For Traudi, most of these pieces ended up in her pantry where she used them daily. Art in Bloom Gallery is honored to be able to release this special selection of her work to honor her memory.
Join us for an opening reception, which will be held on Sunday, March 3rd from 2-5pm, with live music featuring violinist, Shirley Lebo!
Stay tuned for works that will be on sale soon!
