Presents
The Third Friday Art Show
August 21
5:30 - 8:00 pm
This show features Lori Lytle and C.M. Kakassy. These ladies artistic expressions are a must see. Light refreshments served. All are welcome to come in and show your support!
Lori Lytle often uses a source from her surroundings that she transforms the visual source into her own abstract representation. She describes her paintings as turning what you see into feeling verses an object. "An expression of my feelings expressed through media". She focuses on color and surface. "The process is as important as the finished product", Lytle says. She also uses objects from nature or found images to incorporate into her work, and different mediums and techniques to create a layered look or a technical application.
C.M. Kakassy attended classes a the North Shore Art League in Winnetka, Illinois where she studied under Rudolf Penn, Abbot Pattison and Gordon Simon. C.M. Kakassy original interest was in sculpture, however she also found 3-dimensional concepts readily applicable to printmaking and works on paper. Though she is mostly known for her creations in printmaking; the most effective medium she is celebrated for is her combination of technique and colors - which she notes, "guides the evolution of an idea and often inspires a totally new direction".
