March at the Artist Within will feature "Moving Forward with Hope" an exhibit of recent work by local artist Laurie Lunsford. The show will be a unique blend of the directions her work is taking. A series of rings from her "Symbols of Hope for Life's Transitions" collection will be displayed in shadow boxes along with poems of hope for the transitions of life. Laurie's watercolors will add a splash of color and go with the themes of the ring display. A few of her pastel portraits will also be on display through March 28, 2009.Laurie uses her entrepreneurial skills in creating products and in writing, art and music. Creativity has been woven into every part of her life...in teaching, parenting, homemaking, and singleness. She has 3 grown sons. Her degrees are from Ball State University in teaching and art. She believes that art, music, and creative expression can bring healing. She is now working on a gerontology certificate at BSU and hopes to use her creativity more and more with the elderly.
An opening reception will be held First Thursday March 5, 2009 from 5-8pm. Music for the opening will be provided by a live drum circle where visitors will be encouraged to participate. Through this type of recreational music, you can find your own beat and fit it in with the others in the group. Nathan Shew, a graduate student in Music at BSU will lead the drum circle.
Light refreshments will be served along with a coffee bar from Alliance World Coffees.
