Laura Wolf Gallery Show
Exhibit: June 1-30, 2024
9:00am to 4:30pm (Tuesdays to Saturdays)
Laura Wolf, our June artist, describes herself as an elementary art teacher, artist, birder, pun enthusiast and singer (in the Baltimore Choral Arts Society). She teaches K-5 in a Howard County Elementary School. She obviously loves her job – not only helping students produce their own art, but introducing them to the creations of working artists.
Wolf visits local parks, mostly Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania, and snaps photos for reference for her exquisite bird paintings. She’ll wander in refuges, gardens and even zoos, observing (“with the greatest care”) their “peculiarities” and distinctions – what makes a species unique.
Wolf writes that in the last five years, her focus has shifted, and she has become an impassioned birdwatcher. Her bodies of work are themselves distinctive: acrylics on panels or canvas – detailed gouache – traditional with “fully developed backgrounds.” Other works in ink or digital illustration are sparser – focusing on patterns and textures – and may contain puns and jokes. Her work has been accepted for display at the American Artscape (Bazaar) and at the Columbia Art Center.
