Joe Glassmire
Event Description:
Joe Glasmire and Laurie Hill Gibb are the featured artists for Last Friday Art Walk at Main Street Fine Art Gallery next to Beau Jo?s in downtown Evergreen Friday, August 29 from 5 to 8 p.m. Both artists will be demonstrating their art techniques during the event.
Both artists have teaching children in their background, and both are inspired by nature and particular places they have been. Both are thrilled to have the Evergreen gallery be the backdrop for their art work. Joe is inspired by beautiful contrasts in nature, particularly dramatic light and shadows throughout the day. His style ranges from tightly controlled compositions to more loosely created images.
Glasmire started art classes as an 11-year old, which eventually led to him getting a degree in art education and to teaching art for a number of years. During various moves while working in pharmaceutical sales, he was inspired to continue his art work with watercolor paint, colored pencil drawing, and pastels. He was inspired by beautiful landscapes and historical buildings in the eastern U.S. His retirement in Evergreen now allows him to be inspired by the Colorado landscape. Gibb began working with fabric at the heels of her maternal grandmother and mother. After a 40-year teaching career, she finds her creative energies going into making original art pieces from natural fabrics. She uses a variety of techniques to add color to fabric including, dyeing, painting, silk-screening, stamping and stenciling. Most of her pieces are hand or machine stitched.
Gibb in a Colorado native, never leaving for any length of time except for her year-long journey around the U.S. in her VW van, Turtle. Many of her pieces on exhibit were inspired by that journey. Now the exploration of ideas and techniques continue to engage her time. Gibb?s work has been exhibited through the U.S. and the story of her journey of travel and the quilting of her VW bus has appeared in a number of publications.
