Throughout the month of June, watercolors by three members of the Catawba River Art Guild—Madie Horne, Anna McAteer, and Herb Dumaresq—are on exhibit at Erin’s Restaurant.
Madie Horne is president of the Catawba River Art Guild, a membership-based collective of local artists. Horne was interested in art as a child, but she did not begin to pursue it until she became an adult. It was then that she participated in art workshops; and took drawing and painting classes. Horne created art with oils or pastels until realizing that watercolors were her true passion.
