Photography, Charcoal and Figures

This Weekend at the Renaissance Art Gallery: May 4, 5 and 6, 2012

With spring finally arriving, a host of activities are planned for the Renaissance Gallery this weekend.

First up this Friday is Artist/photographer Laura Moul.

Laura loves to share her love of photography and knowledge of digital photography with others. With all the changes in photography in recent years, it can all be a bit overwhelming! The technology has exploded! Where once you loaded film into a camera and then had to have it developed, now you can take pictures with your phone.

All these changes can be overwhelming! If you are switching from film to digital, how do you get the best out of it, or even get anything! Photographer Laura Moul can answer your questions and help you with your point and shoot or DSLR cameras. Whether it is setting up a shot, dealing with light issues or getting the picture out of the camera and into print, Laura is your girl for all the answers.

Laura will be having a free digital workshop at The Renaissance Art Gallery this Friday, May 4, 2012 at The Renaissance Art Gallery, 900 8th Street, Suite 20, Huntington, WV from 12-4 pm. Bring in your camera or simply come in and see her outstanding landscape photos our area.

“I want to paint you!
Your face, yes, but don’t deny me
The jugular notch.


Twist you neck ‘til cords stand out.
Lift one shoulder almost to your chin.
What if your robe falls away?
We are all gods and goddesses here.”



-Linda Helgason



Come in and talk to Linda about your own tastes in art and view all the artwork from local artist at The Renaissance Art Gallery. The Renaissance Art Gallery focuses on original art from the tri-state area.
