Coloring Pages For All Ages!
Coloring pages are no longer just for kids.
These days many adults are coloring too, and not just to give them a temporary return to the days of their youth.
There are many good therapeutic reasons why adult coloring pages are all the rage these days. Relieving stress and anxiety during these uncertain times is high on the list, but other reasons include sparking creativity, and they can even be a form of meditation.
We are very thankful to our local artists who have donated their time and talents to offer coloring sheets. Please enjoy these printable sheets, and we encourage you to post your masterpieces on Alamance Art’s Facebook page, or email them to arts@alamancearts.org.

Linda Fowler
After retiring from ABSS and moving to Winston-Salem, Fowler began to pursue a life-long interest in art. She began by taking watercolor classes with Alice Hixt Bess, a watercolor instructor with Forsyth Tech. She joined Associated Artist of Winston-Salem and Muddy River Art Association and exhibited her work around Winston-Salem and Clemmons through their community exhibit programs. She continued taking classes with local and internationally known artists, such as Sterling Edwards and Alexis Levine. In 2011, she returned to Burlington and joined the Burlington Artists League and the BAL Gallery. She has branched out into other media, but always returns to watercolors. Flowers, animals, and scenes from my travels are her favorite subjects.
Beth Hill
After a formal education in art, Hill discovered a great love of painting, explaining her choice of media (oil paints, acrylic paints, and mixed media) and subject matter (animal images). She enjoys the challenge of representing various textures, such as fur and feathers, through loose brushstrokes and experimental paint applications. Since her retirement from 30 years of teaching art in the NC public schools, she has participated in numerous group and solo shows, and accepted private and public commissions. She is represented at several of our state’s Arts Council galleries as well as numerous private galleries. Because of her love for animals, most of her paintings include nature and animal imagery.
Judy Madren
Judy Madren’s lifelong love of art began as a child with paint-by-number kits. She studied for years under the instruction of Florence Riddle and Betty Tyler. She is a versatile artist with experience in a variety of mediums, including acrylics, oils, pastels, pen and ink, and more recently – watercolors. Throughout the years her style has evolved from precision and replication to creating work that is driven by emotion and personal interpretation. Madren’s art encompasses a broad subject matter and her pieces have been displayed in many local galleries and establishments. Her most recent passion has become painting with watercolors.
Pat Scheible
Scheible was a research scientist in biology for many years before she realized that her true calling was art. A graduate of the Institut Guegan in France, she has also studied with teachers all over the US. Her decorative painting business, Painting Specialties, is regionally and nationally known. Pat and her husband have made their home in Mebane since 1976. Scheible’s aim is to transport viewers to a place of amazement and delight. Artists have taken themselves too seriously for a century or more, so she tries to lead us back to the time before history, when the artist was a magician and shaman, able to open doors to new realities. Her twin passions are color and the vanishing local landscape. Some of her favorite subjects are familiar local buildings, especially barns which are disappearing.
Pat Towery
Towery is a mixed media artist working in watercolor, acrylic and handmade paper. Her watercolors explore Irises, still lifes, bamboo and Japanese Koi. The abstract series of acrylic paintings are enhanced with her own cast handmade paper. Abstract works, still lifes and florals are just a few of the subjects explored by Towery. Her mixed media works on canvas have been inspired by several trips to Scotland and Ireland. Her travels took her to ancient landscapes, stone circles, archeological digs and historic places. Towery has won numerous awards for her mixed media and watercolor works. Her paintings of Japanese Koi have been published in KOI USA, a national magazine.

Beth O’Bryant
A sense of joy and peace is reflected in Beth O’Bryant’s vibrant paintings, art quilts, and handmade jewelry. Beth’s love of art began in childhood. She studied at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and became a versatile illustrator and designer. Her art has appeared internationally on stationery, apparel, and home decor. She creates art that promotes celebration, belonging, and connection of our spirit.
Antje Shiflett
The great part about being a painter is that one never stops learning and changing, Shiflett said. She loves painting landscapes and flowers, but what or how she paints has a lot to do with which color excites her at this moment, the music she listens to, or which palette knife fits her hand today. Shiflett was born in a small town on the North Sea in Germany and lived in many other countries before she settled in Alamance County. Painting in oils, she creates landscapes and florals inspired by memories of places she has lived as well as her current surroundings. Antje has successfully participated in many art exhibitions and had numerous one woman shows; her style is her own and her palette recognizable.
