Patie Savage, Volunteer Art Coordinator, Extraordinaire

We've grown so accustomed to the stunning art exhibits which grace the library that we sometimes take the constant flow of new exhibits for granted. We want to thank Patie Savage, for her hard and constant vigilance in seeking artists and coordinating the exhibits.

Patie is an extremely versatile artisan herself, with interests which include painting, weaving, knitting, spinning, textiles and clay sculpture. Next time you see Patie, please give her an enthusiastic "thank you" for her volunteer hours.

Lane Langford - Freehand Digital Painting

A visit to view Lanes work is an absolute must. Each piece is fascinating and rich with detail.

Lane Langford on his art:

The digital paintings represent my favorite sites on Lopez Island. They were drawn and painted freehand, using the computer screen as simply the canvas upon which to paint what I saw. I began by using the paint program in Windows 98 as my pencil, my brushes and my color palate to bring the light of this beautiful island to your eyes.

This process has evolved over time and will continue, as I find more places, most of which you may recognize. some may think that these are photgraphs that have been "digitalized" or altered from their original, but I assure you they are not. They are printed on archival paper whith archival ink. they are available at Chimera Gallery in the village.

These are paintings...pure and simple, and I offer them to you as such. My hope is that through them, you may feel the air and touch the light that is so special here.
