First Thursday ArtWalk with Ruth LaGue at Coldwell Banker

Join Cervone Deegan & Associates on Thursday, June 7th to celebrate local artist Ruth LaGue in an exhibition of her paintings. The event will be held at Coldwell Banker Office, located at 713 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain.

Enjoy some refreshments while socializing and viewing the art. Landscape in its barest form. Ruth LaGue grew up in Alaska, awed by the incredible vastness of the wild landscape and gazing at the expansive skies and majestic mountains as a girl. Traveling through India in her twenties, she became consumed by the landscape of the spirit. The marriage of the two experiences ignited a lifelong quest to connect the outer and inner within her paintings. Ruth LaGue strives for visual economy in her work: Can a block of color represent a field of dry grass on an early spring morning? Can a simple, dark blue line that runs across the canvas embody the ocean’s edge at sunset? She wants her viewers to imagine themselves within the landscape.

This event is part of First Thursday ArtWalk throughout JP on June 7th. This is a free event and is from 5 to 8 pm.
