TILTON — Laconia Resident Corrine Kibbie has won an original watercolor titled “Full Moon over Winnesquam” in the Lakes Region Art Association March drawing. Each month the LRAA Gallery offers an opportunity for visitors to the gallery to enter a free drawing for a piece of artwork valued at over $50. The piece was donated by artist Gale Brunt.
Artist Gail Brunt personally delivered the work to Kibbie and her husband at the gallery recently. Brunt has been painting in oils and acrylics since she was in high school but only recently took up painting in watercolor which has since become her medium of choice. While she has taken a couple of classes with Marylou John she is primarily a self-taught artist. Gail also has a sewing business which she calls FabricArts & More. She began digitizing her artworks with an embroidery machine and then embellishing them with paints or markers. They eventually are turned into wall hangings, or framed works, as well as purses, totes and pillows. Gail has been a member of the Lakes Region Art Association for two years and has entered some of her works into local art shows.
Jay Fitzpatrick, an amateur free-lance photographer from East Andover is the latest artist to donate his work for the free drawing. After a long career in newspaper photography, reporting and editing, Jay took up digital photography. For the April drawing, Jay has donated a canvas print of his photograph, “Yellow Iris.” Jay has also held photography workshops at the gallery over the last year which have been very popular and well attended. No purchase is necessary to register for the monthly drawing. One registration per person, per drawing. You must be 18 or over to enter. Visitors can register for the drawing at the LRAA Art Gallery which is located in Tilton at the Tanger Outlets (across from the Chocolate Factory) and is open Thursday thru Sunday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Lakes Region Art Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding art education and appreciation in the Lakes Region.
