Mom Tri’s Boathouse is proud to present Laura Baum, accomplished American artist living in Asia for many years, who has exhibited her ethereal landscape paintings throughout Asia, in Hong Kong, Singapore Taipei, Katmandu, and now for the first time in Thailand.
Laura Baum was born in 1963 in New York City. She was a student of Chinese artist Diane Kan, a disciple of the revered master Chang Dai Chien (1899-1983).
Thursday 8 May from 7:00 to 8:30pm
The materials Laura uses lend depth and light to her paintings. The gold or silver-leaf boards with a thin layer of rice paper from Japan and the stone and mineral colours such as malachite and lapis lazuli, bring a surprising power to the images.
"Painting 'The Islands' made me concentrate on composition, colour, and light. I began to learn to sail in September and that experience has added to my work. The changing colours of the water and being surrounded by the elements gave me a deep inspiration and feeling for the space and landscape around Phuket."
Tuesday 13 May from 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Mom Tri’s Boathouse Writer’s Night with Collin Piprell is the second in a series of Writer’s Nights, which started last month with the spirited performance of author Jake Needham.
Collin Piprell is a novelist, feature writer, journalist and editor, both freelance and in-house with Dragon Art Media. His books include adventure, thrillers, humour and science fiction. He’s a Canadian, educated in the U.K., resident in Bangkok and well traveled in Southeast Asia.
Collin decided to talk about "Seducing the Muse" for a reason: "Half the people I know say that, someday, they want to write something. Most people never do. This talk aims to encourage those who'd like to write."
