First Friday feature – Chris Lechuga
First Friday . . . Art for Everyone will feature Chris Lechuga on Friday, October 5, 2012 between 5 and 7 pm. Chris is a Reedsport High School graduate. He took up illustrations and drawing and has been enjoying it ever since elementary school.
Within the last two years he has taken up acrylic and oils, specializing in landscapes. Chris was inspired to give acrylic and oils a try after taking of a community class offered by the current high school art teacher, Kyle Mulligan.
Chris has had no formal training but worked many years with his late mother, Michele Lechuga, who was a well-known artist in the area. Some selected pieces of Michele's work will also be shown. Michele worked with wood, created some murals and was always a community participant in art projects. Chris finds solace and comfort in painting; it relaxes him and lets him experience nature and the fantastic area we all live in. He also appreciates his growing abilities.
This will be his CDABA's first showing of Chris' work. He would enjoy having comments and input on his work from other artists
