About
About Larry Morace
Much of Larry's art training was at Indiana University and the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis. He has painted ever since, drawn to the places where light gathers: water, glass, and pavement after rain. Work is made in oils and pastel, slowly, one layer at a time.
Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and ... stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to "walk about" into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?
