labrashe' FINE ARTS

ABOUT:

For 20+ years, Lewis owned LaBrashe' Gallery of Seattle, and wore many hats-designer, curator, and artist-largely working with textiles, custom designing hand-woven wool and silk Tibetan rugs.

Recently, Lewis decided to retire and devote his time to painting fine art.

Lewis' long-time hobby was photography.  You would often find him either at the Seattle or Edmonds waterfront capturing the beauty of the sunsets.  "Once I realized I could not recreate that which was already perfect, I decided to work with the colors within."  Starting with acrylics, Lewis wanted to maintain a fluidity to the overall design.  This gave a very natural organic feeling to the piece.  The goal was to give a relaxing peacefulness to the viewer and to soften the overall texture of a given space.
