During the month of August the Liberty Gallery features paintings by artist Lauren Urlacher of her favorite flower, the dahlia. Her hyper-realistic floral paintings invite viewers into a tranquil moment of stillness. In a fast-paced world, Lauren’s art offers a calming pause, encouraging mindfulness through close observation of nature’s intricate details. Her August show titled “Dahlia Days of Summer” celebrates the peak season of dahlias in Spokane when we see the biggest and best of these blooms.

Stop by the Historic Liberty Building to meet the artist on August 1st from 5-8:30 pm.

Katie Frey graduated from Walla Walla University with an English and Art degree and worked as a teacher for years before deciding to step into begin art as a full time career. She primarily paints landscapes and animals as her artwork is inspired by her time spent in nature. She also finds inspiration in the textures and patterns of rocks & plants, and both the ease & energy of wild animals. Katie wants her watercolors to look as spontaneous and joyful as it feels when she creates them.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this August to see Katie's beautiful watercolors ~ stop by First Friday August 1st to meet Katie in person!
