Laku has the NERVE: A Preview

Butterfly Clover Three Daisy Jazz During the month of November, stop by Wug Laku’s Studio and Garage to see, Nerve, a collection of some of the gallery owner’s personal work.  His drawings and paintings are worth an extra trip downtown when his gallery is not crowded with people and conversations, but if one only has time to [...]

Beauty of Process or Anatomy of a Butterfly

There is something beautiful about the process of forming of ideas, thoughts, and art.  At a gallery or museum one can sometimes see the development of a series by viewing its parts, but this process is still fairly opaque with only a showing of the final work. Thankfully artist blogs are full of studies showing [...]

Friedrich: Traveling Exhibit part II

More thoughts on works by Caspar David Friedrich from the Hermitage. The Dreamer sits on a window ledge of a ruin.  He is not inside the ruin nor is he outside the ruin.  Inside the ruin are dead trees, while outside life thrives.  The dreamer looks sideways, neither out of the ruin nor into the ruin.  [...]

Rachel, how is it that we are just now "official" friends?! That's wierd! Anyway I had a wonderful time at your opening and was delighted at how well your powerful work was received. You have much talent and creative drive, and I was glad to be a small part of your evening. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

I am very impressed with the color use in the monochromatic pieces on your site. Where may I see these live?

Sorry I wasn't around for E-Funk... My kids and I were flying back from California that day.

Rachel, my email address is: marita@maritatopmiller.com I am very
busy. You know it's taking more time to work with real estate clients
than it has for a long time. Let me know what the parameters will be
to make this live music portion happen. Marita

Hi Rachel, thank you for asking. Did you listen to my songs that I loaded
onto my si page? I had thougtht I might enter some of my art photos, but
I have not had time away from real estate to do much of anything, but attend
the si open house. As to selling cd's - I haven't been able to get back into the studio to finish any. Perhaps I could do a live set. what would that entail? I do have a live sound mixer/amplifier/speakers.

While visiting the Stutz Artist Open House on Friday night, I got my temporary fill of art. Of all the artists that I saw that night, I am going to mention the following few:

A pleasing array of good art shows

This month had a pleasing array of good art shows in the downtown gallery scene of Indianapolis, Indiana. I started off my evening by visiting wUG LAKU’s STUDIO & gARAGE. From there I ran into a show by another artist I know, Dave Voelpel. Dave does abstract landscape paintings and had his show in the Five Seasons Studio Gallery. I then traveled down Mass Ave to the McFee Gallery and Studio. The main artist shown this month is Kelly Gentry. My first venture into the Art Bank brought me in co… Continue
