HRRMC displays watercolor paintings of Louise Medved
 

SALIDA, Colo.— A collection of paintings from Salida artist Louise Medved are currently on display at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center (HRRMC) through September 30.

Medved, which translates to “bear” in Croatian, began expressing herself through art at an early age. She enjoys sketching, watercolor and acrylic mediums; her colorful work displayed at HRRMC focuses exclusively on watercolor.

“I’ll often start my paintings from a light sketch or photograph, then work in short spurts – often around 30 minutes – placing small drops of color on the paper or canvas and leaving white space in between,” said Medved. “After a short time, I’ll step away to wander and explore for more inspiration and to further develop and bring each painting to life.”

Per Medved, this method of painting allows the viewer to visually blend colors together and experience her work in a dynamic, evolving way from various distances and angles.

Medved is a 29-year resident of Salida, and has visited every place she has painted, so as to have the most authentic vision possible for her work.

HRRMC displays the work of regional artists each quarter, with an emphasis on the Arkansas Valley. Call 719-530-2217 for more information on exhibiting art at HRRMC.
