Meet the Artist Reception: Saturday, December 10 – 1:00 to 4:00 pm
The Loft Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition of new works featuring acrylic and encaustic artist, Lesley Clarke. She will be the gallery’s featured artist in December and we invite you to stop by the Loft Gallery to see her new paintings.
Lesley Clarke is an acrylic, encaustic, and collage artist and has been a member of the Loft Gallery for just over a year. Many of her acrylic and encaustic abstract landscapes are inspired by the Highlands and coastal areas of Scotland. She was born and raised in Ayrshire and visits her family regularly, traveling to her homeland to capture the colours, light, mountains, rivers, rain, and rugged terrain that show up in her work. She often embeds found objects (rusted metal, nails, paper) that help create a sense of history, age, and surprise to her work.
Lesley hopes that her work evokes the same feeling of excitement, and unexpected surprises that she experiences when she sketches, photographs and paints her Scottish surroundings.
