The Coffee Cup: Artist Lori Griffin

To Open a Show With Lots of Texture

"ANEW," the art show of Lori Griffin, opens Monday at Earth and Fire Imports Gallery in Terlingua and runs through March 16.

It is a show of series, one inspired by a book about West Texas creatures that the the artist is writiing for her two-year-old grandson.

There will be four pieces of the West Texas Predator Series in the show. Other series include Tree Folk and Colorful Crosses.

"But as always, there are functional pieces," Lori said. "And I believe that everyone should be able to afford art, so the prices range from $10 to $800. The art is unique and intended for both kids and adults to enjoy."

She said there is lots of texture.

"Every piece is made using upcycling," she explained. "I take "old" materials to make "new" art. Making upcycling art requires combining methods and techniques. It is challenging and time consuming, and draws on ones imagination.

"The end result is funky collage art," she concluded. "I love making it!"

The Earth and Fire gallery is in Ghost Town.

The artist's reception for the Out with the Old--In with the New show of textured art is Monday from 4 to 7 p.m.

Oh, and that lucky grandson is named Logan.
