Drama Queen
A Sensual Body of Work By Laurie McClave

Laurie McClave has been drawing obsessively since she was a young child. This California native knew she was destined to become an artist.

She earned an honors studio spot at the San Francisco Art Institute where she concentrated on figure drawing and painting; she received her BFA in Painting with emphasis in Art History in 1994.

After graduating and exhibiting work around the Bay area, Laurie decided to move and raise her family in Port Townsend. She continues painting, and has been showing her work in galleries throughout the Northwest.

Her "Pantheon of Women" is a comment on iconic representations of femininity. These paintings are suffused with color, symbolism, and animal imagery. The "La Raison" trio explores the different roles women play while representing the erotic nature of the human psyche. Laurie follows with another series, "Queens", which links allegorical elements to the natural world of the feminine.

Join us for a soft opening on June 6th during the local gallery walk from 6 to 8 p.m. Then on June 13th, from 6 to 8, we will have our formal opening with Mrs. McClave. Meet the artist, listen to music by Four Eyes, and feast your eyes on our new exhibit.

Also in JUNE... Megan Trenary will be with us in "The Annex"
