Creek Road Palos Park, IL, 60464 February 14 - March 20, 2018 Laurie Shaman: "Drawn to Clay" Gallery Talk by the artist and reception: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 at 3:30 p.m. Please Note: The SXU Gallery will be closed for Spring Break: March 5-11. Laurie Shaman is a Chicago-based artist, whose ceramic work is shown regularly in galleries and exhibitions across the country. It can also be seen in two Lark publications: The Best of 500 Ceramics and 500 Vases: Contemporary Explorations of a Timeless Form. When she was Director of Lill Street's gallery, she curated dozens of group and solo exhibitions involving ceramic artists of local and national prominence. In 2009, she created a six-panel ceramic mural "In the Swim," commissioned by the Public Art Program, City of Chicago, now installed and on view at the Hayes Park Natatorium in the Ashburn-Wrightwood community. Ms. Shaman states "I make tabletop and wall pieces in porcelain or stoneware using primarily slab-built techniques, with an eye on developing shapes and contours that best provide the surface for my hand drawn imagery. These forms thus become a canvas for depicting scenes that combine my interests in travel, art history and the natural world. The vases, vessels and wall pieces I make today evolved naturally over time from a strong foundation producing utilitarian pottery, as well as having an ongoing practice of creating works on paper with a variety of drawing techniques. These once separate pursuits have been the basis of my ceramic work, and combined, produce for me the greatest satisfaction: merging the painted surface to three-dimensional form." SXU Art Gallery L-114 of the Warde Academic Center 3700 W. 103rd Street Chicago, IL 60655 Feb. 12-March 9 Reception: Feb. 13, 10:30 a.m.-Noon Artist Talk: 11:30 a.m. Ellen Holtzblatt’s exhibition is inspired by her travels including Japan, Iceland, and the prairies of the Midwest. Her paintings explore the idea between physical being and spirituality with her attention to light and ability to convey motion within her landscapes and scenes.

Her work is often described as photorealistic, although her interest is more with color and composition. Working with common subjects but presented large, Winifred’s art provides a fresh view of the intricate shapes, texture and translucency of flowers.
