Laura Fernandes’ Embryo Series
Opening Reception:
Saturday, March 20 from 4 -7 pm
Exhibit continues through April 24, 2010
Laura Fernandes’ abstracts are appropriately created on reclaimed windows. The glass allows the oil paint to flow across its surface to produce visually intriguing yet strangely familiar images of creation and life cycles. She used a wide range of colors during the production of this series with the fate of each picture depending on mood rather than working from a specific plan. Inspiration for her textures and designs are found in many diverse sources; rusty metal, crumpled concrete, puddles, plants, and people. Working on the glass began as an experiment because Ms. Fernandes was curious about how the paint would react on the glass. It has proved well suited for the presentation of the Embryo Series and has become a unique way to be environmentally cognizant.
Ms. Fernandes has exhibited her work extensively in the Portland, OR area and is excited to begin showing her artwork in her hometown of Martinsburg.
