Over the years a wonderful collection of our smaller creatives has found its way to my studio on Lula Lake Road. In this cozy little space, these art students have grown in their abilities to capture the essence of many subjects, from a wide range of animals to the proper perspective of a city street. All with fun and fellowship.
This summer I took studio space at the ClearStory Arts and challenged the students with an assignment to produce a piece of work that reflects “what comes through the clear story to us.” A memory, a thought, or a direction could take the form of a message, an encouragement or a comfort. Although a bit daunted by the abstract nature of the challenge, they all jumped right in with conversations about memories that encouraged them. Their reflections on how they feel when they are making a decision would make any parent proud.
It is a pleasure and joy to make a space for these young creative spirits to grow into the problem-solvers of the future. Their work will be on display at ClearStory Arts at 1673 S. Holtzclaw Avenue on Friday, August 4.
