June 25, 2015 Touchstone Gallery
Rima Schulkind2

Rima Schulkind2

Rima Schulkind, a native of New York City, came to Washington DC at age 15 and has remained ever since.  In 1972 she obtained a sociology degree before realizing the profession was not for her.  Wondering what to do next, she “almost accidently took a ceramics class with the worst teacher in the world.” Rima recalls.  “But the clay felt heavenly to my hands, and I knew I wanted to make things with it.”  Serendipity #1.

Rosemary Luckett: Uncovering the Unseen

April 4, 2014 Touchstone Gallery
Rosemary Luckett

Rosemary Luckett

Rosemary Luckett has been on good terms with the earth since she was a young girl weeding sugar beets and caring for the animals on her family’s farm in the desert plateau of south central Idaho.   These earliest experiences of taking care of the environment that then, in turn, took care of her, were the seeds of Rosemary’s sense of this relationship as vital and mutual.  Over time, she has developed a visual language--plastic ducky's, bones, tree forms, maps, and birds to express her love and worry for the earth through her artwork.  The techniques used varies with what she is exploring.  Sometimes collage.  Sometimes sculpture.  And more recently photography.
