The Tamaqua Community Arts Center welcomes Lori Remmel as October’s gallery artist.

A gallery opening and meet and greet will take place at the center at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

Remmel says about her work, “Through my work in paint, collage and photography, I’m able to explore narrative both within myself and the world around me. I embrace the intuitive, hands-on nature of art making, and through my work in several mediums I’ve discovered that the constant element in my work is my love for re purposing ephemera and discard.

“I’m fascinated by the transitory nature, spontaneous beauty, and history inherent to these scraps. By handling the same materials that others have touched in a new capacity, my ideas become part of their story.”

To see more of Remmel’s art, find her on Facebook and Instagram as Lori Remmel and on the web at www.loriremmel.com.
