“The Sky Above” acrylic by June Lamoureux.
Artists’ Workshop Gallery at 610A Central Avenue, in Hot Springs, is excited to announce that June Lamoureux and Jan Briggs are the featured artists for August.
Lamoureux is a long-time professional artist who moved to Hot Springs Village from Connecticut in 2011. She has always loved art and is a popular local artist with much of her work depicting scenes in and around Hot Springs. Her art has also been commissioned by many companies and individuals and includes a wide range of subjects. She works primarily in watercolor, acrylics and pen and ink, and has won awards in each medium.
Lamoureux has taught drawing and painting for many years to both children and adults. She is a member of Brush Strokes Art Club and Traditional Art Guild. Her focus now is to continue the process of discovery in her art and to create works of beauty and lasting interest.
Briggs, having married a Hot Springs native, has been a resident of the city for over forty years. Enthusiasm and passion abound in all her work. Working in a variety of media, including pieced watercolor – a process she developed herself – she enjoys highlighting her subjects in bright colors or in a diverse mode. Animals, rural barns, churches, and landscapes are but a few of her favorite subjects.
Drawing for as long as she can remember, Briggs has always enjoyed many types of art. She attended Henderson State University, majoring in art, and later finished her BFA degree in Studio Arts. She has won numerous awards and taught her art in many different venues. She is active in several arts and community organizations.
Featured miniature artists for August are Jan Briggs and Caren Garner.
The gallery continues to maintain limited hours due to Covid-19: Thursday through Sunday, Noon to 5:00 p.m. They will not be participating in a live gallery walk for the first Friday in August, but invite you to view their virtual tour, featuring the works of all their artists, at Facebook: Artists Workshop Gallery.
