Laura Higgins Palmer
Sword Dancer, 2004
Sumi ink, 11" x 14"
Drawings and Paintings by Laura Higgins Palmer are the focus of
a show at Paper Rock Scissors, through May 14. This
award-winning artist has a unique artistic method: Palmer can
often be seen sitting near the front of an auditorium or in a
corner of the dance studio actively sketching dancers as they
rehearse or take class. Her fluid lines bring motion and drama
to each drawing. Some of these sketches are finished artistic
statements in themselves, directly expressing the artistry or
emotions of the performers. Other works, including her stunning
and colorful oil paintings, are developed into finished works in
the artist’s Annapolis studio. Featured in this show are
drawings and paintings from the Carnevale Romano inspired by the
artist’s time in Italy, and sculpture inspired by the
choreography of Ballet Theatre of Maryland’s beloved Eddie
Stewart.
Drawn to Dance is an ongoing collaborative book project intended
to inspire dancers and dance lovers with words and images.
Individuals may participate by contacting Palmer through
art@paperrockscissors.com or visiting her display at Dance
Baltimore, May 7 at Baltimore’s Hippodrome (ph. 866-756-5673).
