This week, Luanne Smith & Bob Lockhart will discuss her new exhibit, Biophilia, now at Pyro Gallery. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM / Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.
For Luanne Smith, painting is both a return and a renewal. After raising her family, she rediscovered her lifelong passion for art through watercolor. Her realistic depictions of wildlife, botanicals, and landscapes offer a close look at nature with attention to light and detail.
Primarily self-taught, Luanne continues to develop her skills through workshops and ongoing study with noted watercolor artist Cathy Hillegas. She has exhibited in numerous community shows and is also a juried member of the Louisville Artisans Guild. She is a member of Pyro Gallery, where she has just opened an exhibit of new watercolors called Biophilia, which runs through January 25, 2026
Luann Smith will be giving a Gallery Talk at Pyro on January 10 at 1 pm.
Bob Lockhart is an award-winning sculptor whose work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, the Indianapolis Art Museum, and many others. In addition, Lockhart's pieces have been commissioned by the Louisville Zoo, by numerous churches and schools, and by private collectors.
