Mimi McBride named featured artist by Potomac Valley organization

April 26, 2022

Mimi McBride (spouse of Jon McBride ’64) was named the featured artist for April by Potomac Valley Watercolorists (PVW), a juried society of watercolor painters. PVW includes many watercolor instructors and artists who exhibit at prominent galleries, museums, and nationally acclaimed shows. Some serve as jurors; others give demonstrations and programs for art and community groups.

Mimi wrote: “As a former landscape designer and current avid gardener I have always found great beauty in trees, plants, and landscapes. Many of my watercolors attempt to capture their forms and textures and how light illuminates their many intricacies. I love landscapes which focus on the vastness of the natural world.”
