The Gallery at Iona

Come visit The Gallery at Iona featuring highly talented local senior artists! September 3 - December 17, The Gallery at Iona presents Artist in Residence, Lee Goodwin, and Special Guest Artist, Marilee Harris Shapiro.

Lee Goodwin is a fine art photographer who has concentrated on landscape photography in and around Washington, D.C., with particular emphasis on Great Falls, the C&O Canal, and the Potomac River. His photographs have won numerous awards, and have been widely exhibited in solo and group shows in Washington, Maryland, and Virginia. Like many photographers of his generation, he learned his craft with traditional film cameras, but recently has been exploring the creative possibilities offered by digital photography. His photographs, as well as reviews and information about other exhibits, can be seen at his website, www.leegoodwin.com. Lee is a partner in the law firm of Nixon Peabody LLP, where he specializes in renewable energy law.

Marilee Harris Shapiro began her art education at a class being offered in her neighborhood through the Work Projects Administration (WPA). She then studied with sculptor Alexander Archipenko and painter Rudolph Weinsenborn. After she came to Washington, D.C., she continued her studies at American University. In 1960, Marilee and three other local artists formed Associated Artists, a cooperative gallery in an old coach house next to the Phillips Gallery which garnered great attention and praise for their foward looking ideas, classes and studio tours.Marilee has continued to work and show in and around Washington, D.C. since that time, working primarily in clay and bronze. At the age of 89, she took her first computer graphics course at the Corcoran, and now uses her computer as an expressive painting tool. Her work is found in the collections of the Kreeger Museum and the Bowdoin Collage Museum of Art, among many private collections.

The Gallery at Iona is located at 4125 Albemarle Street, NW and is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm.
