The Lost City Museum will be hosting a special artist workshop featuring regional artist Bobbie Ann Howell on Saturday, Sept. 30 from 10 am until 1 pm. The workshop, on drawing and cut paper somposition, is free with museum admission and is open to participants ages 10 and up.
Howell grew up in picturesque Lee Canyon, a small community nestled in the Spring Mountains northwest of Las Vegas. She attended school in Indian Springs and at Western High School in Las Vegas and in those formative years, she developed a love for the visual wonders of Southern Nevada.
Howell creates multi-media works which draw upon her experiences growing up and working in Nevada.
Her cut-paper drawings and collaged photographs convey just some of the complexities of Nevada landscapes: desert valleys as well as mountain-top vistas; bustling cities as well as wind-swept small towns.
Howell, a Nevada Arts Council Visual Arts Fellow, is featured in an exhibition, “A Birds Eye View: An exhibition of drawings and photographs” at Lost City Museum throughout September.
Those who wish to participate in the workshop should call the museum at (702) 397-2193, ext. 22.
