Body Language Becomes an Artistic Pursuit at The Lakeshore

Body
Language, a new exhibit that explores gestures, postures, and movement
through art that celebrates the human figure, and opens on Saturday, September
21 with a reception from 1:30pm – 3:30pm at The Lakeshore, located at 11448 Rainier Avenue South, Seattle.

 Local Artist, Robert Welsh headlines the exhibit. Pursuing passion through artistic expression is nothing new
for Welsh, who spent his career designing automobiles for Ford Motor Company,
then airplane interiors for heads of state and the world’s leading airliners
while at Boeing Company.  What is

new to Welsh, who says that retirement has made him a fulltime artist, is

putting his artistic work on exhibit.

“For me, the joy in painting
comes when the struggles with drawing, design, value and color are finally subordinated to self
expression and all my energy goes into making an emotional statement that
hopefully makes a positive connection with my viewer,” said Welsh.

 Body Language is
curated by 2012 James Washington Artist-in-Residency Recipient, June Sekiguchi.  In addition to Welsh’s work, Sekiguchi selected pieces from
Seattle Artists, Ellen Borison, Kathy Gore Fuss, Stephen MacFarlane, Fiona
McGuigan and Terry Slaton for the exhibit.  Wine, hors d’oeuvres and live music accompany art at the

opening reception. To attend, RSVP by calling 206-772-1200.     

The Lakeshore, one of Era Living’s eight premier

retirement communities, offers a warm, vibrant lifestyle, an array of

amenities, rich programming, and exceptional Independent Living and Assisted
