New Volunteer Art Coordinator
Meet Carolyn Cameron who has taken over the the task of Art Coordinator. Among her duties are placing the advertising for each art show, offering assistance to the artists when their work goes up or down. Of course, seeking and selecting the artists for each show is her primary role. We warmly welcome her and look forward collaborating with her as she coordinates the art shows for the library and keeps us one of the premier places for artist to show thier work. Carolyn Cameron - 468-3933 We also want to thank Barbara Mino and Carolyn Baldwin for all time they invested over the last few years as coordinators. The library and it's patrons were the primary beneficiaries of your hard work. Thank you. |
Jan 1 - Feb 11: Julia Rust

About the Artist:Julia Rust has been coming to visit Lopez since the 70's. She started spending more time on island when she purchased property in 1990 and found herself spending more time looking at nature. Soon on her walks she was carrying a sketch book. Learning to draw intruigued her and after reading the book "Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards, she went on to take classes in drawing and painting from Skagit Valley College and Valley Arts League. |
|
Her first show was part of the Lopez Artists Studio Tour around 2009. Most of her work is abstract. The work in her current show is the result of summer paint-outs on location around the islands. What makes this show unusual is that some of her paintings were done with her left hand as a result of broken arm due to yet another horse fall. |
|
When Julia is not drawing or painting, she's an intensive care nurse at Island Hospital in Anacortes. She's also a prodigious gardner and loves architecture design. She recently designed and built a studio in her garden. She and her husband, Mike Rust, own two Tennessee Walkers and spend many hours riding and caring for their horses. |
