#1 As a part of our 10th anniversary celebrations at Artists & Makers Studios we are painting murals on our building, and Resident Artist Lea Craigie-Marshall has been hired to help us celebrate this huge milestone. We are thrilled that our entire building facade will get a glow-up, so tickled that new muraling work will come to our neighborhood, and delighted that our front doors will now be even easier to find. We take pride in our stewardship of this 55 year old building, and thank the building owners for allowing us to realize this long-held dream. Let the art commence! Biography: Lea Craigie – Multidisciplinary Artist and Designer Lea Craigie is an award-winning multidisciplinary public artist, fine artist, sculptor and designer rooted in the DMV region. Born in Falls Church, Virginia, raised between Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, and shaped by a childhood growing up in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, her work blends urban vibrancy with a deep love of nature and history. Her expansive body of work includes public art commissions, historical and contemporary murals, mosaic murals and sculptures, laser cut steel panel installations, suspended sculptures, molded resin sculptures, stained glass, acrylic panel sculptures, acrylic wall installations, sculptural installations, and fine art painting—many created in collaboration with local governments, nonprofits, developers, and communities. https://leacraigiestudios.com/ http://www.instagram.com/bluehuestudio Building with mural design mock-up.
