Painting Demo with Exhibiting Artist 

Shawn Krueger

Saturday, February 8, 1-3pm

"My search for peace, place and quiet beauty has only grown more important. The times in which we are living practically demand it of us, and I don’t think we have a choice. It is seemingly never quiet anymore. We are constantly knocked back by the noise. We are misunderstood, hated or, worse yet, ignored. And yet, somehow, if not by miracle, then by stubborn resolve, our desire to depict the beauty that surrounds us does not diminish."

Jewelry Demo with Nola Smodic

Friday, February 14, 10-5pm

"My pieces are inspired by snippets of nature and memory. I work in precious metals, precious gemstones, resin, and bits of ephemera I have collected along the way. I add original paintings and photography where they make sense. Sometimes my jewelry is quietly symmetrical and elegant, and often it is quirky and playful. Color is the unifying element that brings balance and cohesiveness to my work. It is my hope that my artwork appears to have a story to tell. I invite you to add your story to mine and make it completely yours."

Relief Engraving Demo with Jessica White

Saturday, February 15, 10-2pm

"I create humorous, but sincere, images that convey messages not through complex imagery, but in multiple layers of simplicity. I use imagery of animals and children telling stories in an attempt to make sense of uncertainties in our world today, similar to the way traditional folktales and ancient mythologies tried to explain the unknown. I’m inspired by children’s book illustrations, folk tales, walks through the forest, and the daily news. Much of my exploration revolves around fear and courage, blind optimism, naïveté, and wonder."
