Cooper and Morgan Lanza opened the doors to Tillie Lace Gallery and School of Fine Art on April 15, 2016. This mother-daughter duo brings together the fine and performing arts under one roof. Tillie Lace Gallery and School of Fine Art is hosting their Grand Opening Party on June 4, 2016, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Live music will be featured throughout the night by local musicians, including award-winning artist Cheryl Hodge.
Cooper Lanza’s expressive portrait series “Caught in the Moment” is showing as a solo art exhibition at Tillie Lace Gallery. Cooper Lanza is known for her expressive oil paintings and unique palette. She is a visual storyteller who has collectors from all over the world, including Paris, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Arizona and Seattle.
“Caught in the Moment” explores the state of mind that people experience while working. In her artist statement, Cooper writes: “Whether you’re painting, singing or washing dishes — my interest lies in that feeling that space no longer exists. You are no longer doing, you are it. You have become what you are creating.” This body of work was created for Cooper Lanza’s MFA Thesis. The dates for this show are May 6, 2016 through June 30, 2016. The gallery is located at 1415 13 St in Fairhaven, formerly the Lucia Douglas Gallery. Tillie Lace Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. For more information, follow Tillie Lace Gallery on Facebook or give the gallery a call at 360-223-5352.
