Laura Harper Lake Exhibit Opens Outside in the Garden!


On Saturday, July 18, 3p to 6p
Laura Harper Lake (of Artful Harper Studios) presents her series

"The Woodlands Above"

in the back garden gallery space at Art Up Front Street.

The rain-date is July 25, 2020.

We're thrilled to also have live music performed by Bug
(www.soundcloud.com/musicforbugs) at the the reception.

The Woodlands Above exhibit features small-scale oil painting on wood remnants by Laura Harper Lake. Inspired by the conditions of our rapidly changing planet, and specifically the large-scale wildfires that ravage our forests all over the world, Harper Lake reflects on the calming and placid nature of trees which are critical to human life on earth and often taken for granted. The positive space of the tree and the negative space around the human forms are both unpainted, letting the grain represent the wood itself and the connection of life between the two subjects.



Please note: We are requesting attendees to please bring a mask to wear should it not be possible to be physically distant in the outside gallery space or to use the inside facilities.

Thank you to Corrine Gilman and Danielle Gaynor

We are sad to say goodbye to two of our artists here at the studio, but are so glad we got the chance to be around their energy and their art. We have all had to make so many adjustments and decisions about moving forward. Both Corrine and Danielle have made moves to set up all studio operations from their homes. We will miss these friends and their color! Hopefully when this covid time has cycled out, we will see more of them.
In the meantime, follow their instagram pages to keep up with their new work. We miss you Corrine and Danielle!
