Leah Traugott To Show Works March 3, April 17

Great Decisions Series Set March 4 At Center

It’s the setting most artists dream of — a large studio — with glass walls all around and waiting outside, a rendezvous of trees top a ravine where there is a color panorama that constantly changes. This is the setting that inspires most of Leah’s very realistic paintings. Working mostly in oils, sometimes in pastels, Leah’s favorite subject is portraits. The two most important factors in her work are color and design; both of which seem to take the more common Brown County scene or still life and add a more contemporary feeling to them. The subject may be the same, but there’s been a lot more life added to it! A resident of Indianapolis since she was 6 years old, Leah graduated from the Herron School of Art. During art school and later, she worked as a free lance fashion artist for Wassons. Later she completed more study at Herron under Donald Mattison, Loran Dunlop, Garo Antresian, Edmund Brucker and John Taylor. She has exhibited at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, O.; The Hoosier Salon; Mid States Art Exhibition, Evansville; Wabash Valley Exhibition, Sheldon Swope Gallery, Tore Haute; Eastern Indiana Art Show, Ball State University Art Gallery, M u n c i e ; The Tippecanoe Regional Exhibition, Lafayette _ Art Center, Lafayette; Whitewater Valley Regional Art Exhibition, John Conner Gallery

Connersville; Indiana State Fair; Herron Rental Gallery. She has won prizes in the Hoosier Salon; Indiana State Fairs; Whitewater Valley Exhibition; Herron Drawing prize and the Religious Art Exhibition. She has taught at the Jewish Community Center and at the Herron Museum. The Traugotts also have an outstanding collection of Mexican primatives. Her late father collected Chimu, a fascinating pre-Inca pottery made in Central and South America, which she inherited. Joe Traugott, the Traugotts’ 20 year-old son, is also an artist

and collector. His room houses everything from Southwest and Mexican artifacts to snakes and owls. He also makes his own brand of primitives that may require 300 pounds of plaster as well as lathes and metal. He currently has two pieces in the Hoosier Salon. Leah will be having a oneman show at North Central High School starting March 3 and a one-man show at Cinema I theatre starting April 17. Her work can currently be seen at Herron Museum Art Rental, the Lafayette Art Center, Sheldon Swope Art Gallery in Terre Haute or by calling her studio for an appointment.

Foster Homes Being Sought The Jewish Family and Childrens Service requires two foster homes immediately. Julius Markfield, executive director of the JFCS, said that his agency will assist in securing the necessary licensing. He asked anyone in the community who is interested to contact him at 634-7401. The arrangement would be for an indefinite period, he said, because one or both of the parents of the children involved are unable to care for them.
