About the Artists:
FRANCESCA DI LORENZO – Francesca is a sculptor using water-based clay and sculpts the human figure “from life” using live models as she captures the nuances of the human form in her traditional sculptural style. Her finished sculptures celebrate the beauty and differences of life in her interpretation of the female and male forms. More recently Francesca has been sculpting animal figures from the animal kingdom or of a beloved pet using photographs and sketches. You can see the artist’s works at The Loft Gallery or go to The Loft Gallery at www.loftgallery.org or Facebook at www.facebook.com/loftgalleryoccoquan.
GEORGE JONES III – Since the introduction to the craft of woodturning, over 20 years ago, George has had the opportunity to study under a number of internationally renowned wood artists.
“All of my pieces are unique, from bowls to wall art. Each tells a story and are important to me. Hopefully the love and fulfillment I gain from creating each piece is apparent and brings enjoyment to those who see them. The best thing about being an artist is the gift of learning and growing from each piece. Each piece of artwork pushes me to grow and embrace new ideas.”
MAUREEN STOREY – Maureen is a fused and stained-glass artist. Maureen was a nutrition scientist who enjoyed a 35+ career in the food industry. Upon retirement from her first career, Maureen undertook an encore career creating fused (kiln-formed) glass artwork and then branching out to create stained glass panels and window-hanging figures. She solely owns storeyweaver designs in glass, LLC www.storeyweaverdesignsinglass.com. Maureen was 2019 president of the National Capital Art Glass Guild and remains a member of this organization.
