Birds of a Feather Artist Profile: Louise Peterson
Born in 1962 in Darlington, England, Louise Peterson trained in classical ballet at The Urdang Academy and The North London School of Performing Arts and performed with Dance for Everyone (London) and The Israel Ballet (Tel Aviv). Her dance experience helped shape her love of figurative sculpture. Louise is also a great animal lover, and has been involved with Great Dane Rescue.
Louise works from her ranch studio near Guffey, Colorado, inspired by vistas of the surrounding high country. She is an elected member of the National Sculpture Society, the Society of Animal Artists, the National Sculptors' Guild, and the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club.
We bring a variety of artists and art forms to Bainbridge Island. Our emphasis on solo shows enables artists to explore and show a body of work. We kick off each show with a reception for the artists on the first Friday of each month. Our central location on Winslow Way makes us easy to find. And if you're coming from Seattle, we're just a ten-minute walk from the ferry.
Craig Kosak. We're very excited to be welcoming Seattle artist Craig Kosak in his first solo show at Gallery Fraga. Craig's work is grounded in realism, inspired by the graphic and iconic images of painters such as N.C. Wyeth and the landscapes and cloudscapes of Maxfield Parrish. The atmospheric aesthetic of Russell Chatham and the Hudson River painters often finds it way into his work. Click here to see all of the work in the show.
