First Friday August 1., Featured Artist Elke Brand

Please stop by August 1. for our monthly First Friday opening. Blam! Studio artists work in different mediums: Print, fiber, photography, digital art, painting, illustration, and writing.

The featured artist of the month of August is Elke Brand. Her work is a symbiosis of photographs of organic images, digital drawings, and digital manipulation. Most of her pieces start out with images of people, which she then draws on and manipulates until she reaches the final image. She mounts the final images on wooden board to maintain the original organic character she started out with. She creates a symbiosis of organic and digital materials.
