At first an interior designer, Prack began her full-time career as an artist in 1986. There is nothing traditional
about her approach to or use of clay. Prack creates sculpture that is distinctive, precise, and with
geometric purity of surface and form. She hand-builds each piece using special formulated clay that has a
stone-like hardness, strength and consistency suitable for her colors that are permanently sealed. The
sizes range from approximately two to nine feet in height. Each of her sculptures are one of a kind. Prack
began painting after briefly falling ill and becoming unable to sculpt. Her paintings and sculptures embody
the same energy and essence. Her colorful, multi-layered, abstract paintings are constructed with layers of
color and amorphous shapes that move in a free form style.

In the SunTrust Gallery, Alamance Arts will present women’s

work in art. This is a collection of textile collage quilts by
Elizabeth Bauk, a designer and textile artist from Salisbury.
She mixes vintage textile art with her own designs. Examples
of her techniques include free-form crochet and knitting,
hand and machine embroidery, and embellishing with broken
jewelry and buttons. Bauk sews on anything she can and
gives new life to older objects.

Meet the Artists at our Spring Sip & Savor on Sunday, May
19 from 2-4 p.m. The free event, which will be sponsored
by Glen Raven, Inc., will be held at the Captain White
House located at 213 S. Main Street in Graham. Live music
will be provided by The Haw River Social & Pleasure Club.
