Lisa Stroud
Jestures

Upfront Gallery
June 7-29, 2013
First Friday Gallery Walk: June 7, 6-10pm

For June 7-29, 2013, artist Lisa Stroud’s work will be on display in the exhibit Jestures at Artspace. As an artist and writer, Stroud is always looking for a story to tell. Her desire to tell stories is the catalyst that usually inspires her work. She works intuitively with colors, shapes, textures, and gestural drawing to create her paintings. With time, luck, and patience, stories begin to unfold on the canvas. Her hope is that somewhere between the obvious and the hidden, viewers will be enticed to create stories of their own.
