Port Ludlow Art League names featured artists

Posted

Lucrezia Cuen Paxson is the Port Ludlow Art League’s Artist of the Month.

Paxson’s artwork bridges an extensive variety of subjects and mediums, from Western art, florals, and vivid abstracts, to works in charcoal and graphite. Her continual search for beauty — and the challenge to capture its elusive essence — is the driving force behind her artwork, according to the league.

Paxson’s charcoal-on-paper artwork entitled “Hats and Boots” was selected for the Searching for Beauty exhibition at the Maryhill Museum of Art, located at the Columbia River Gorge. This online exhibition featured student and graduate paintings from the Aristides Atelier, at Gage Academy of Art in Seattle.

Her artwork can be seen at Sound Community Bank and online at  portludlowart.org in November.

Pamela Raine has been selected as the league’s Jeweler of the Month.

Raine fuses odd bits and pieces into jewelry using the needle felting technique. “The texture you can achieve with needle felting is just delicious,” she explained.

Her jewelry is on display next month at the Port Ludlow Art Gallery, online at portludlowart.org, and in person at the Sound Community Bank. 

The bank and gallery are located at the corner of Oak Bay Road and Osprey Ridge Drive in Port Ludlow. The gallery is open from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.
