Laura Travnicek - Art Exhibit June 3rd

Laura Travnicek Exhibit At The Great Frame Up!

The first week of the month is always exciting for us at The Great Frame Up, because that’s when we bring out the talent and proudly host our artist’s exhibit. It’s all about unique and talented visions of our local artists. This Month we are pleased to exhibit work from painter:

Laura Travnicek

Laura is a Des Moines area artist with a unique vision. Her work and study looks at society’s need for categorizing and grouping people, and how these social hierarchical arrangements become fundamental to our lives. This keen interest in social class brought her to a series of images called “First Ladies.” An evocative concept, these works of first ladies, the most exclusive of clubs, and in Laura’s words provides “…an enriching experience to study and paint each first lady's portrait and learn the unique history behind each woman. Individually, they are fascinating women, but together, as a set, these ladies make up the elite group of women….” The colors used in ‘First Ladies’ captivate and provide a cohesiveness in the grouping, while also striking a unique and true view of each portrait. Laura has a great love of color, and knows that the perfect color pallet makes an image speak loud and clear. The power of the artist!

Laura’s art education degree and artistic vision are inseparable, and she also is the director of a nonprofit art concern called NaCl Art Company – an art and mentoring program serving children in the Des Moines area. For more information on this, or questions about Laura’s work, contact her at lauratravnicek@gmail.com.
