Three Ravens
Sutter Creek Gallery - In June, the Sutter Creek Gallery will display artist Laine Holman. Her work will include ceramics, acrylic paintings, and silk scarves. An opening reception will be held in her honor on Saturday, June 3, from 2 to 5 p.m. She has worked in a variety of media including various types of painting and sculpture.
Some of Holman’s ceramics are decorated using sgraffito, which involves scratching a design in an upper layer of paint to reveal the color underneath. Other decorative techniques, such as hand painting, wax resist and stamping, are also used on her pottery items and pendants.
The multi-talented artist goes beyond producing ceramics. Her acrylic paintings of landscapes and birds are often abstracted and enhanced with stylized designs. Holman will also be showing hand painted silk scarves which are fashioned using a variety of techniques, such as salt, ice dying, or resist. For the last two years she has been focusing on improving her craftsmanship, working to build an online presence, and providing mentorship opportunities for women who have set their creative passions aside to raise a family.
Sutter Creek Gallery invites you to spend some time with Laine Holman. She is one of twenty-three local artists exhibiting at the gallery located at 40 Main Street, in the heart of Sutter Creek. Besides original paintings and photography, the gallery offers affordable prints, cards, jewelry, pottery, glass and fiber arts, and gourds, as well as framing services. The gallery is open Thursday through Monday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. For additional information, call 209-267-0228
