About the Exhibition

Lynn Smiser Bowers, Jan Dreskin-Haig and MaryEllen Lacy are the invited artists for the “Annual Drawing Invitational” curated by Marty Ray. These three artists are united in a passion for exploring the human form in non-traditional ways. This involves experimenting with a variety of techniques and materials. Allowing spills and leaks to remain, working with creative rhythmical impulse, discovering alternative ways to convey the human body in their drawings gives this exhibitions body of work unique expression. With backgrounds in dance, clay and printmaking, the artists all have an interest in a creative, diverse, and fluid approach to the figure.
