Fundraiser for our Sanctuary Arts Connects Scholarship program

Studio Tour with Victoria & Lawrence Elbroch (SA 23) is generously offered as a fund raiser for Sanctuary Arts’ scholarship fund. They make their work on 2 levels of an old Victorian in Kittery and invite you to see a demonstration of their working process. Victoria draws her inspiration from trees, especially ancient survivors. She will show you her process, from sketchbook or line drawings done on location in the UK, to impressive large tree portraits in black and white or color. Her smaller work incorporates cut paper and collage and tells the nostalgic story of the English countryside she left when she was 19.

Lawrence is a photographer with a huge body of work from their travels in Asia. His latest works are collaborations with Victoria; he photographs her drawings and using them as a starting point, mixes them with photographs of the real trees by layering in photoshop. See if you can figure out where one begins and the other takes over!
