Member meetup and Studio tour March 29

On March 29th at 7PM we will meeting with Patrick Gracewood at his studio located at 4920 NE 55th Ave – Google Maps.

Recent relief sculpture by Patrick Gracewood.

Patrick describes himself: “As an artist, I carve space, materials, and time. For over twenty years, I designed and created architectural ornament for new buildings and restored historic terra-cotta facades. This professional work influenced both philosophically and technically my own fine art.”

You can see some of his works here Sculpture, Bas Relief, Fine Art, Wood Carving – Gracewood Studio and watch a video about one of his works which is part of the trolley trail https://vimeo.com/308802097
