Join us for a reception featuring the work of oil painter Ron Mack and watercolorist William Borden with live music by Justin Bird and light refreshments.

William Borden, a native of Indianapolis, is a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art where he earned a B.F.A. in industrial design. He was employed for thirty years as a designer by the Ford Motor Company Design Center in Dearborn, Michigan and the Ford Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia. A freshman class sparked an intense interest in transparent watercolor painting and since the early 70’s he has pursued a second career as a painter of landscapes and mechanical compositions. In 1988 he was elected a signature member of the American Watercolor Society. He retired from Ford in 1997 and is now a full time watercolor painter living in Hanover, Indiana. Bill’s work has been displayed in a number of well known local and national exhibits and is available at the Brown County Art Guild in Nashville, IN, The Hoosier Salon Galleries in Indianapolis and New Harmony, IN, and the Madison Art Club Gallery in Madison, IN. Bill has been a member of the Brown County Art Guild since 2003. Read more at: http://wmbordenwatercolors.com/

Ronald P. Mack doesn’t recall ever deciding to become an artist, but somewhere along the way he certainly did. A love of art was nurtured early when his father took the seven year old Mack and his brother to John Herron Art Institute (Indianapolis, IN) on Saturday mornings for art instruction. Throughout his thirty-eight years working as Design Coordinator in Engineering for Eli Lilly & Company, creativity and ingenuity were not foreign to Mack, nor was his desire to create fine art. In 1978, in the midst of his professional career, Mack attended a two week plein-air workshop in Connecticut where he studied under Foster Caddell, a New England artist. The experience is still a great source of inspiration for Mack. Ronald has been a member of the Brown County Art Guild since 2003.
