ARTIST STATEMENTS:

MARK NICOLAS:

LITA HAVENS: As an artist, Havens is guided by her curiosity to explore the different tactile qualities of fabric, thread, paper and yarns.  Her art process is all about the decisions and techniques she applies to form lines into shapes, colors and textures that will give the images on the art piece the depth, rhythm, movement and life needed to tell a story.
Havens’ attitude is that art should be fun as she depicts different subject matters including still life, floral, landscape, and even abstract shapes. The art on display include a collection of eclectic watercolor media art pieces combining loose spontaneous brush strokes influenced by her love of the impressionist style embodied by Claude Monet.  Her fabric artwork uses recycled materials, transforming scraps of fabrics into visually delightful pieces.

Havens holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.   She began her career as an art teacher, later working as a print production specialist at top New York City advertising agencies.  In 2006, she and her husband retired to Western Maryland.  Havens is very active in various art organizations and volunteers her time teaching art lessons for children and seniors.
