Laura Wilder Exhibit Slated For Syracuse

David Rudd and Debbie Goldwein, principals of Dalton’s American Decorative Arts in Syracuse, NY, have announced an upcoming exhibition of the work of Roycroft Renaissance Artist Laura Wilder entitled “In the Arts and Crafts Style.”

An opening reception will be held on Saturday, November 4, from Noon until 3:00pm in their gallery located at 1931 James Street in Syracuse. The exhibition, in which all works will be for sale, runs through January 2, 2018. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday 10 – 5, and Saturdays 10 – 3. Laura Wilder’s block prints will be exhibited among Stickley and other American Arts and Crafts furniture, period lighting, American art pottery, and other decorative arts.

After getting her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator, Laura discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement. Inspired, she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance jury. Approved, she became a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and was soon elevated to Master Artisan status, signifying very high-quality design and execution.

Twenty years later, she continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature, the Arts and Crafts movement, and the sweet, simple things in life. Laura has won many awards and prestigious commissions for her work, which can be seen at shows, including the February National Arts and Crafts Conference, as well as many galleries and shops nationwide, and at www.laurawilder.com.
