The Gallery at the Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road, welcomes new art curator Evie Zimmer.
Zimmer is an American artist and educator in Tampa.
She is active in the arts community both locally and nationally. Her work has been shown, sold, and published across the country including New York City, Art Basel Miami, Palm Springs, Calif., and shown in various publications and online shows and digital billboard displays in Baltimore and on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.
Her early work consists mainly of traditional portrait paintings, although she has always been drawn to the intricate design and beauty of op-art. Eventually, Zimmer began to explore her op-art fascination and her work blossomed into her current mesmerizing style.
Zimmer's work has been described as a "strange loop" of process and product. Her oil paintings radiate an inherent energy field not unlike traditional mandalas with acidic colors transforming into soothing pastels, and geometric patterns melting into exotically organic shapes.
Recently, Zimmer's paintings have become more floral and symmetric yet still maintain her unique and recognizable abstract style. Zimmer is constantly creating new work from her studio in Tampa where she welcomes visitors and students.
The Gallery has five areas to showcase visual art known as The Main Gallery, The Atrium, The Lobby, Corridor Gallery and Alcove Galleries. Admission is free to view the art. For more information about The Gallery, visit carrollwoodcenter.org, or email Zimmer at curator@carrollwoodcenter.org.
