MEET OUR FEATURED ARTIST
DOWNTOWN 2025
Gwendolyn Redfern


From Gwendolyn Redfern:
"I spy with my naked eye...I have always been fascinated with architecture. All the geometric forms that line the city streets, buildings, bridges and nature in general are the inspiration for my work. My preferred mediums watercolor."
Gwen is a watercolor artist from Raleigh, North Carolina. She received her BFA in Painting from East Carolina University. Gwendolyn has exhibited in numerous art shows, galleries, and festivals since 1998, marking the beginning of her professional career. Her artwork mixes abstract cityscapes with music, emotion, and the human form. We are thrilled to showcase such inspiring work at our Downtown festival this spring!
