The Framemaker proudly presents artists and APSU alumni Lorna Lewis and Bee Orgain, as part of Clarksville’s First Thursday Art Walk on July 7, 2011. An opening reception will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The exhibit will remain on display at the Framemaker throughout the month of July during normal business hours (Mon. through Fri. 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.).

According to artist Bee Orgain, “I am a painter, drawer, purple cow collector, sci-fi novel reader, Goodwill frequenter, waitress, wife, and woman. In the future, I hope to add art teacher to that list.” Bee states, “this series explores personal trials that I’ve endured related to womanhood and maternity. Each piece is both a self-portrait and illustration of emotions I experienced following a lost pregnancy.”

Artist Lorna Lewis studied at Austin Peay State University and O’More College of Design. She is the owner of a small, alternative health practice in Clarksville. Lorna uses art to explore the individual soul through portrait creation. Her work is informed by her spiritual beliefs, her knowledge of health and the human figure, and her family struggles with Lupus and Leukemia. Lorna states, “I always spend real time with my subject whether it’s an animal, an adult, or child.”

The Framemaker is located at the corner of North Second Street and Georgia Avenue, across from the Clarksville Academy.
