Lara Janzen - CCAA 2024

Lara Janzen is a ..."person who enjoys all art forms who has discovered the joys of the visual art form of photography. Nature has always fed Lara's soul and combining her love of the outdoors and the craft of capturing light with a camera is a great joy for her. 

A great day for Lara is capturing a beautiful scene in the early morning or latter part of the evening, maybe even staying up until the wee hours for the Milky Way and, if fortunate, repeating the day.

This exhibit is on display at the Hoodland Public Library through April 10th through the Artist Exhibit Program with thanks to Clackamas County Arts Alliance.

Any questions or inquiries should be directed to the artist:

HOODLAND LIBRARY GALLERY

I mainly work with chalk markers on dark backgrounds, because I like the opaque coverage and striking color contrast. I am interested in landscapes and the contemplation of nature. This series of floral images is a reflection on Beauty in Nature, and how some things, such as the COVID-19 virus, are beautiful, despite the terrible effects they have had on all aspects of the human experience since 2020.

Each image depicts the virus (as seen under an electron microscope)as it symbolically multiplies, and yet is part of its surroundings.

ALL ARTWORK TO REMAIN ON DISPLAY FOR FULL LENGTH OF THE EXHIBIT. 

For further information on the artist, or to make arrangements to purchase artwork, contact the artist directly.

"Art and creativity have been a passion of mine throughout my life. As a teacher, I loved incorporating art and creative expression into my teaching and found it to be a vital learning tool. Starting in midlife, art became more of a personal pursuit toward growth and healing. Now in retirement, nature is my biggest inspiration. I love simple line drawing, watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media." 

Quilter Jean Ludeman's "Welches One Year Weather Chart" is shown in the photo to the left.
