I’ve been invited to be part of an exhibit titled, “Fresh Start. Works in Progress.” at the Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, KS. This exhibit will feature partially finished works by area artists in celebration of the beginning of the new year. The purpose is to show not only new approaches and work that the exhibiting artists are taking & making in the new year, but also the process by which we work, including sketches, reference material, etc. It also falls on Final Friday so make it part of your rounds! Refreshments will be served.
Participating Artists: Molly murphy, Stephen Johnson, Nicolette Ross, David Loewenstein, Karen Matheis, Louis Copt, Angie Pickman, Jason Barr, Eric Dobbins, Jack Collins, Leslie Kay, Lisa Grossman, Jeremy Morris. Shannon White, Darin White, Yuri Zupancic, Jennifer Jarnot, Steven Graber, Juniper Tangpuz, Kenneth Kupfur, and Alicia Kelly
