“Eden,” ink, mixed media, paper, and watercolor, by Rosemary Luckett.
Art League instructor Rosemary Luckett has a new exhibit of drawings, open through March 2 at the Ramp Gallery at McLean Project for the Arts! For the hours and location, click here.
“Virginia artist Rosemary Luckett makes works that spring from many diverse sources of inspiration, from wild American landscapes to Dutch paintings, to surrealism. Pulling these disparate factions and forces together into images that serve as metaphors for American culture and commerce, she explores and alludes to the connections she sees between and altered terrain and the absent people who have transformed it. Both playful and at the same time deadly serious, these images present a powerful commentary on contemporary life.”
Rosemary is teaching two classes at The Art League this winter: Sculpture From Scrap, which started Sunday, and Collage: Art of Transformation, which starts tomorrow (January 23) and runs for six weeks.

Curious about joining The Art League’s upcoming travel workshop to Ethiopia with photographer Andargé Asfaw? Join us at the Madison Annex (305 Madison Street) outside room 8 for an information session, this Wednesday, January 23 at 7:00 pm.
The workshop, March 11–22, is open to photographers and artists in all media, who will go on a tour of the amazing historical sites of Ethiopia.
You can read more about the Ethiopia trip in our interview with Andargé. “You’re in paradise,” he said of Ethiopia, where he was born. “Everything is there for you. You’ve got culture; you’ve got architecture; you’ve got faces, animals — I don’t think you can ask for a better place than that.”
