August Art Opening: 3 Muses

For this upcoming first Friday we'll be showcasing three Portland artists in our 3 Muses show. The opening reception will take place August 7th, 6 - 9 pm at the Bamboo Grove Salon Gallery 134 SE Taylor (entrance on 2nd). We're excited to present original works by:

Julia Gfrorer: Julia is a local artist with a dynamic body of work behind her. Her mastery of the human figure is shown off with bold line drawings that manage to capture intense motion and fluidity even in the quietest moment. She is a skilled printmaker and letterpress operator and frequently runs the Zhu Lin press at the Bamboo Grove.



Linsay De Armond: Lindsay is an accomplished painter and drawer whose interest in girlhood, the Victorian era and mental illness makes for an eery and compelling collection of work. She has shown all over the Pacific Northwest, most recently at Opposable Thumb Gallery + Cafe. When she's not making incredible artwork, she sometimes models for us at our weekly figure drawing session.

Elena Cronin : Elena is a figurative artist whose beautiful and emotional art follows in the tradition of Austrian art nouveau and expressionism. Her vivid new work centers on her own body as subject, and is drawn and painted with the intimacy of first person perspective. She was recently featured at the Launch Pad Gallery and at the Fine Grind.
