Port Townsend Artist to Present October 15, 1-3 pm in Port Ludlow

Port Ludlow Art League October Program Meeting Speaker — Erika Wurm

The Port Ludlow Art League welcomes Erika Wurm as the speaker for their October Program Meeting.

Erika is an eco-conscious, mixed media artist that prefers to use repurposed materials to creatively challenge herself and reduce waste which often creates interesting textures and dimensions.

Her artwork is inspired by her love of nature. As a professional horticulturist, Erika often references dried flora from her garden. She enjoys researching and highlighting endangered species of flora/fauna in her artwork to raise awareness, while adding a touch of her whimsical Wurm-y humor.

In 2015, Erika created Wurm Wares, a place where she could let her inner child create, while celebrating her perfectly silly last name. Erika states, “I create to spark imagination and inspiration along with making folks smile.”

Erika’s presentation will focus on her inspiration, as well as her process from a sketch to a finished piece, including examples of each stage. She will also be talking about her love for experimentation with different materials and mediums. For more information about Erika’s artwork, please visit erikawurm.com.

The program meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15th from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Port Ludlow Beach Club. The Beach Club is located at 121 Marina View Drive in Port Ludlow. Guests are welcome to attend for a $5 fee. For more information, please visit portludlowart.org.
