‘Elements Of Nature’ featured in exhibit

ASHTABULA — Lawrence Baker's artwork is a reflection of his love for the remarkable beauty of the world.

From the strong branches of an ancient oak swaying softly in a gentle morning breeze to the delicate petals of a chicory bloom or the bursting seedheads of a grass growing along the roadside, Baker portrays his subjects in a way that he hopes will make his audience stop and take a new look at the everyday scenes around him that man often takes for granted.

“Elements of Nature” by Baker will be on display at the Ashtabula Arts Center through Sept. 29. An opening reception will be held Sept. 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Visitors to the gallery can view the exhibit and meet the artist. Light refreshments will be served.

Admission to the gallery and the reception are free.

A retired visual arts teacher for the Cleveland Municipal School district, Baker holds a master of fine arts from Kent State University. He lives and practices his craft in Cleveland. The Ashtabula Arts Center exhibit will feature a collection of pencil and charcoal drawings depicting Baker's interpretation of the many elements found in nature.

Baker has participated in numerous exhibits and juried competitions including most recently, “Each in their Own Voices,” Cleveland State University, “Annual Ohio Exhibition,” Zanesville Art Museum, Zanesville,

OH,” Artist Archives of Western Reserve” Cleveland, OH, “Art Institute and

Gallery,” National Juried Show in Salisbury, Md., and “Dimensions 2008” national juried fine arts in Winston-Salem, N.C.
