S. Carmody Photography: Friday, 9 April 2010

VISCERAL: Fine Art Photographs by Lauri Baker
Artist reception/opening date: Friday, April 9, 2010, 6-9PM
Free event, open to the public
Show runs until May 31, 2010

Photographer Lauri Baker's images express the awe and wonder with which she regards creation. She draws from both natural and urban environments, finding beauty in odd places. Her dramatic use of light and shadow pay tribute to her early influences: her parents' strong interest in art and photography and the masters, Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. Abstracts and landscapes were Lauri’s first areas of interest, and her work has expanded to include still lifes, people, and urban scenes – some with local interest. Lauri's images are often described as "visceral" since they elicit an emotional rather than intellectual response from viewers.

The opening reception coincides with the Maplewood Arts Walk, featuring visual and performing arts events. This event is sponsored by the City of Maplewood and the 20+ core businesses comprising the Maplewood Arts District.
