PORT LUDLOW — The Port Ludlow Art League will recognize the artistic work of its board of directors and its other volunteers who are honored as the league’s artists of the month for January.
The board consists of eight officers and additional volunteers who help install art exhibits and maintain member communications and website.
In alphabetical order, these volunteers are Alan Ahtow, Laura Axiotis, Fran Bodman, Shirley Bomgaars, Larry Davidson, Sheryl Goldsberry, Janice Gruber, Jeanne Joseph, Mara Mauch, Georganne Muse, Pamela Raine, Christine Spagle, Cathy Thomas and Diane Walker.
During January, the group’s artwork can be seen at the Sound Community Bank and online at www.portludlowart.org.
A reception for the group is set for 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 10 in the lobby of the bank and from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. that day at the adjacent Port Ludlow Art League Gallery. The bank and gallery are located at the corner of Oak Bay Road and Osprey Ridge Drive in Port Ludlow.
Jeweler of Month
Mary Lynn Laker is the league’s jeweler of the month for January.
She designs necklaces, earrings and bracelets in a wide variety of styles and materials, including silver, bronze, gems, felt, crystals and stones. She favors Asian-themed designs and has fashioned fish, kimonos and Buddha figurines into a collection of jewelry.
During January, her jewelry will be on display at the Port Ludlow Art League Gallery, the Sound Community Bank and online at www.portludlowart.org.
Metallic Touches
During January and February, the Port Ludlow Bay Club’s art exhibit, Metallic Touches, will feature artwork created with metal, wire, beads, metallic paint, ink or leaf.
Because metallics catch the light differently at different angles, artists often use them to create depth and texture.
The art exhibit is sponsored by the Port Ludlow Art League at the Bay Club at 120 Spinnaker Lane in Port Ludlow.
For more information on art exhibits at the Bay Club, email Alan Ahtow at info@portludlowart.org.
