SUMMARY:Andrea Van Wyk | Hope Creates | Exhibition & Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:                           Andrea Van Wyk’s paintings will be on display from                             September 7\, 2023 through October 31\, 2023.\n              Meet Andrea and hear more about her story at an Artist Reception on            Friday\, September 8th from 5 to 7 pm.\nArtist Biography     \nAndrea is an artist who lives outside of Pella\, Iowa.  She does commissioned work for patrons as well as her own works of art.  During her 38 year career as an art educator\, her paintings demonstrated a wide range of media and techniques.  She participated in many workshops\, then shared those new found skills with her students.   She believed art history was an important aspect of art education and as she taught different artist techniques with her students\, she fell in love with the work of Georgia O’Keefe and Helen Frankenthaler.  She also became interested in architectural forms and how light and shadow played a crucial role in the composition like the work of Winslow Homer.   \nAndrea is working on a body of work depicting scenes from her travels as she continues to study and photograph the architecture\, nature and culture wherever she goes.  Andrea served as a teacher leader for a student ambassador organization which allowed her to travel with students to France\, Germany\, Spain\, Austria\, Switzerland\, Italy\, Greece\, Ireland\, Scotland\, Wales\, Australia\, and New Zealand where she was captivated with the art and architecture of all these cultures. \n                                  \n The daughter of a Reformed Church minister\, Andrea was influenced by urban culture on the East Coast as she grew up but appreciated the organic roots of her ancestors in the midwest\, learning the art of craftsmanship from her mother who loved gardening and quilting.  After moving with her family from the Catskills to Pella\, Iowa in 1976 and marrying a farmer in 1981\, she found herself painting her surroundings\, farm scenes and Pella’s historical Dutch architecture.   \n​Andrea (Busker) Van Wyk was an Art Educator at Pella Community Schools from 1984 after graduating from Central College in Pella\, Iowa until May of 2022\, where she taught eight different exploratory art classes at the middle school and Art Appreciation at the high school for Des Moines Area Community College.  She taught the Methods of Teaching Elementary Art and Secondary Art Education at Central College from 1999 until 2021. Andrea has also taught Art at Pella Christian and Pella Community High School as well as summer classes at the Pella Community Art Center and for Upward Bound at Central College.   \n For most of her career\, Andrea was a member of the National Art Education Association and the Art Educators of Iowa.  She was involved with New Art Basics\, a research project through the Department of Art and Design at Iowa State University where she earned her Masters in Art Education in 1997.  She earned the status of Signature Member of the Iowa Watercolor Society and is currently a member of the Des Moines Paint Pushers group. \n Andrea and her husband\, Mike\, live on a farm east of Pella.  Mike continues to farm\, coach for Pella High\, and is a Farm Bureau Financial Services Agent.  They have two children\, Sarah Flaherty (married to Dan) with four grandchildren\, Anneke\, Quinn\, Graham\, and Rowan\, and a son Ross (married to Madelyn) Van Wyk.  Andrea’s future plans are to spend as much time as possible with her family and to paint every day.

SUMMARY:All Over the Board - A retrospective of the last 30 years by Theresa Ganzer-Blitgen
DESCRIPTION:ALL OVER THE BOARD – A retrospective of the last 30 yrs.\n                         \nArtist Theresa Ganzer-Blitgen\nNo offense\, but this work is all about me. Draw what you know\, has always been my philosophy and from early on\, that was with graphite on paper and portraiture. \nI know about divine guidance\, too\, and I work with it to explore new mediums\, push to find new ways of expression and try to translate some bits of self-examination. \nMost of my work is introspective\, and playful\, nostalgic and thought-provoking…kind of like me.  A three-ring circus with some consistent themes. \nI hope you enjoy my work and that it speaks to some part of your own inner knowing. \nAn Artists Reception is scheduled for July 7th from 5 to 7 pm.

SUMMARY:Laura Lengeling & Anne Kauff Exhibitions | May 1 - June 30\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Laura Lengeling & Anne Kauff Exhibitions\nArtists Laura Lengeling and Anne Kauff will have their art on exhibit from May 1 to June 30\, 2023 at Maquoketa Art Experience. There will be an Artists’ Reception on Saturday\, May 6th from 2 to 4 pm. \nLaura Lengeling – Paintings from the Studio and Plein Air\n           \nArtist Statement: A day doesn’t go by without my thinking about painting. I’m one of those drivers with a wandering eye weaving down the highway looking at clouds at sunset\, or the way a single farm light casts light and shadow across a farmyard. \nAnne Kauff – Red Barn\, Blue Shadow\n             \nArtist Statement: I have a childhood love of barns. I did not grow up on a farm\, or spend summers visiting relatives in the country\, and yet I find there is something both lonely and mysterious about the way a barn occupies the landscape. I have collected hundreds of barn images\, photographing them across the country. They suggest to me ideas about time\, friendship\, stillness\, connection\, and these ideas playout in my paintings. \nAnne Kauff is a visual artist working in the Chicago area. She is a self-taught painter who has acquired her skill set painting en plein air. She works in oils and has focused for the last 10 years on a series of quiet\, meditative paintings called “Barnscapes”. Her one-person show\, “Chasing the Light” was chosen as pick of the week in the arts section of the Chicago Tribune. She has been selected to participate in artist residency programs\, including The Fields Project\, GAAC Artist-in-Residence program\, and the Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts residency. She teaches oil painting at Strokes of Genius in Palatine. \nTo see more of Anne’s work visit annekauff.com or find her on Instagram at alkauff.

SUMMARY:Elisa R. Boughner Exhibition |  Jan 7 – Feb 28\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Elisa R. Boughner Exhibition | Jan 7 – Feb 28\, 2023\n Artist Statement: \nAn image develops from concept to sketch to final creation\, placing color to canvas directly from the tube\, with no dilution or hesitation. I will not know what the final outcome will look like until it is completely finished. I may get halfway through a piece and find that the color combinations and their interactivity are leading me in a direction I had not expected. Although I start with some type of concept in mind the work builds a character and a personality of its own. When it is finished it keeps on changing according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it. The subject may reveal the intent of vision but I believe color reveals the soul. of the artist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElisa R. Boughner was born in the United States\, raised in Mexico and studied art in America and Europe. Her work reflects the influence of each of these cultures\, and of a range of painting styles from the Impressionists\, through the German Expressionists\, and finally the Cubist. The result is a unique and highly personal style that brings extraordinary vibrancy to often ordinary subjects. \nBoughner uses traditional forms such as still life but animates them through bold\, often unconventional color and dynamic brushwork. By using often densely layered colors she achieves a complex\, subtle and wide emotional range that transforms studies of external surfaces into exposes of internal feeling. The contrast between her objective subject matter and subjective treatment generates a creative dissonance that brings the paintings richly to life. \nShe uses the bright colors characteristic of Mexican painting but employs them in the viscerally communicative fashion of the Expressionists. Her palette is often innovative\, sometimes subversive\, achieving striking complements and juxtapositions. Her intuitive\, almost tactile use of color and form speaks a highly personal artistic language\, one that communicates directly and eloquently with the viewer.

SUMMARY:Erin Weirup Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Erin Weirup Exhibit – September 1 to October 27\, 2022\n ‘Cimmerian Credence‘\nA Compositional Oil Study of\nNocturne Landscapes Through the Absence of Light\n \nErin Weirup is a self-taught artist who grew up on a farm outside Delmar\, IA.  She had originally started out in 2012 as a Fine Arts Major at Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids\, IA. but was quickly discouraged from a career in the art field. From there she transferred to Iowa State University where she studied Event Management and Communications. Again\, finding herself unhappy with the school she was at\, she transferred one more time to the University of Colorado\, Denver in 2017 where she continued her degree in Communications. \nIn Denver\, she rediscovered her love of painting. Erin paid for school by teaching painting classes and selling small commission works until 2020 when the COVID19 pandemic shut down most customer service workplaces and she could no longer afford to stay in Colorado. This ultimately leads her back to the Midwest. \nDuring this time\, painting was the only thing she could rely on and the dark economic times\, which caused many sleepless nights\, inspired her to particularly focus on nocturnal landscapes and cityscapes. She found comfort and beauty in subject matter that could still display color in the absence of light and that is the mood she illustrates in her work. \nIt was in Denver where she rediscovered her love of painting. Erin paid for school by teaching painting classes and selling small commission works until 2020 when the COVID19 pandemic shut down most customer service workplaces and she could no longer afford to stay in Colorado. This ultimately led her back to the Midwest \nDuring this time\, the painting was the only thing she could rely on and the dark economic times\, which caused many sleepless nights\, inspired her to particularly focus on nocturnal landscapes and cityscapes. She found comfort and beauty in subject matter that could still display color in the absence of light and that is the mood she illustrates in her work. \nArtist Statment \nI am a self-taught midwest based artist who has been inspired to put a collection of works together after moving from Denver\, Colorado back to Eastern Iowa as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. There were many sleepless nights spent outside for socially-distanced fresh air taking in both nocturne cityscapes and landscapes. Although times were turbulent\, I thought those moments were beautiful. Every artist\, especially those drawn to landscapes\, has a moment or visual epiphany that inspires them to recreate what they see. I had this feeling toward nocturnal landscapes and in particular landscapes and subject matter that still provides rich color in the absence of light. Just because the sun goes down\, or a light source is hidden\, doesn’t mean that the color of a subject is gone. It is in those eerie late hours of the night and the stillness of the very early mornings when the world is quiet that I find the most tranquil scenes in which I strive to share.

SUMMARY:Thomas Buchs - Midwest Plein Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Buchs Plein Art Exhibit\nExhibit July 2 to August 29\, 2002\nReception Date | Meet the Artist Reception-Sunday\, Jul 24\, 2022 2-4 pm\n \nARTIST’S BIO \nThomas attended Layton School of Art and became an Illustrator\, creating artwork for advertising and children’s books for many national and local companies during the last 46 years. During summers he exhibited at Art Fairs and also did Pastel Portraits. \nRecently Thomas has been doing Plein Air Painting ( painting from life outdoors).  Much of his current work is representative of this discipline. He tries to capture the light and atmosphere of a scene within a few hours. Thomas believes that a painting is not just a two dimensional illusion\, but also that of a moment in life\, captured by an artist on canvas. \nThomas is a founding member of the Wisconsin Plein Air Painters Association. The WIPAPA has been established as a state-wide fellowship of artists dedicated to promoting and practicing the traditional discipline of Plein Air painting. Members seek to honestly interpret the natural and man-made beauty and diversity of Wisconsin’s landscapes and culture. We will strive to enhance members’ skills and reputations by providing regular opportunities to paint outdoors together and critique our work and share our expertise with fellow artists in order to maintain the highest standards of the Plein Air tradition of painting. \nThomas states he has found that while doing a painting outdoors  he is  immersed in the moment\, later when he looks at the painting ” I can remember all the things that went on as I painted\, the weather\, the birds singing\, a small animal moving through the scene\, people who have stopped to talk to me.” The memories are all part of the painting.

SUMMARY:Josh Guge - Woodcarver - Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Josh Guge Exhibit June 12-17\, 2022\nCarver Reception:\nJune 15\, 2022 | 6-8 pm\nDemo by Joshua Guge\nWorld Champion Wood Sculptor\n                      \nAt the age of thirteen\, Joshua began his art career by selling his sculptures to art galleries. By the age of seventeen\, he began competing in numerous art competitions around the country where he has won many “best of show” honors. In 2000\, Joshua began working on a series of cast reproductions for the Danbury Mint. After graduating from Judson University in 2002 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communications\, he began his own wood sculpting company Guge Art\, Inc. He has also taught art at Westminster Christian School in Elgin\, Illinois. Josh continues to teach children and adults in his studio\, surrounding communities\, and around the country. \nIn 2004\, Josh and Bob Guge became co-founders of The Guge Institute and Art Studio. This studio is located in Elgin\, Illinois. Guge Institute classes include painting\, carving\, sculpting\, drawing\, airbrush\, design\, and more. \nJosh achieved one of his lifelong dreams in 2009\, by becoming a World Champion sculptor. He won world titles in both the life-size and miniature divisions at the World Fish Carving Championships. In 2011\, Josh became a three-time World Champion sculptor by winning the “Best in World” Lifesize Category at the World Fish Carving Championship. \nArtist’s Statement\nI am a 3rd generation wood sculptor born into a family of talented artists. At an early age I learned the art of wood sculpting from my father and grandfather. Roy Guge\, my grandfather\, started the family tradition by sculpting duck decoys for hunting. My father\, Bob became a full-time wildlife woodcarver\, a much sought-after teacher\, and a five-time World Champion sculptor. After years of apprenticing under my father’s instruction\, I developed my own style and love for wood sculpture. \nThis art form has captured my family because of its uniqueness. The wood sculpture incorporates drawing\, wood-carving\, 3-D design\, sculpting\, and painting. The challenge of this art form is mastering these different forms of art.\nMy sculptures range from primitive decoys to highly detailed realistic depictions. Each piece is carved with the use of high-speed power tools and wood burners. They are hand-painted or airbrushed original works of art. The materials I use are tupelo wood\, metals\, epoxy\, and acrylic paints. My sculptures feature a variety of diverse wildlife\, but my passion is for depicting tropical ocean fish and their habitat. \nToday I strive to create art that will inspire others. I try to capture the essence of wildlife in my work. My goal is to evoke a mood or emotion. I have a desire to communicate to my audience how God’s creation makes me feel. I want to express the emotion I experience when observing something beautiful in nature. With this form of art\, comes an intense love not only for creating but also a lifetime of studying the natural world around me. \nLike my father\, I have the desire to pass this art form on to others. In the past decade of my life\, I have taught hundreds of students all over the country from youth to seniors. I want to expose this unique art form to as many people as possible\, giving others the opportunity that I was fortunate enough to grow up with. Maybe someday I will accomplish my goal to see wood sculpture thrive in mainstream art. Until then\, I will keep creating and sharing my God-given gift to the next generation of artists.

SUMMARY:Long Time Passing - Roberta Condon and Lorraine Ortner-Blake
DESCRIPTION:A Visual Chronicle of Farm Life in the Midwest\nApril 29 – June 28\, 2022\nArtist Reception: May 14th |12 to 3 pm\nChanges in the Midwest landscape moved artists Roberta Condon and Lorraine Ortner-Blake to present together with two series of paintings. Their artworks focus on the struggles\, joys\, and challenges of farm life. \n                       \nAmerican Pastoral\n26 paintings in soft pastel by Roberta Condon\nCondon’s modern abstract works shout out the stark landscape of the Wisconsin farms and fields\, presenting vibrant pastels in large contemporary splashes of line and color. \nSee her series in progress at RobertaCondon.com. \n\n\n\nEXHIBIT STATEMENT by Condon \nSeries: Agriculture All-Around—Agriculture Run Aground \nDairy farmers are facing a perfect storm of factors that have led to the loss of over two family farms a day: falling milk prices due to globalization\, political polarization\, industrialization\, efficiencies of scale unreachable by small farmers buried in rising debt\, and trade wars and tariffs to name a few. The state of Wisconsin has been a leader in the nation for total of Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies for the last ten years. Family farmers are being forced into extinction. \nI live and work in a small town in Wisconsin. I own and operate a gallery/studio on the main street and drive a school bus. My route winds through the rural farm areas that surround our town. Viewing the Wisconsin landscape is a privilege\, but there is a subtext of struggle that I can’t ignore. \nAs an artist\, I cannot focus on either the positive pure beauty of the Wisconsin rural landscape or the negative loss of small-town and rural lifestyles and vista. In this series\, I feature both\, and I believe it is my most important and accomplished work to date. \nIn my search to convey the beauty and strength of the farm landscape\, as well as the loss of a lifestyle\, I modeled my series of 26 pastel paintings on Maurice Sendik’s alphabet book\, Alligators All Around. Instead of Sendik’s alliterative phrases like “Bouncing Balls\,” or “Catching Colds\,” my titles juxtapose the factors facing today’s farmers: “Bucolic Bovines — Burgeoning Bankruptcies\,” Cowherd Charm — Climate Change.” Each painting is accompanied by a brief description to provide a primer into the factors behind the loss of small farms across the United States. \n\n\n\n          \nMom’s Reminiscences:\nPaintings in gouache by Lorraine Ortner-Blake \nOrtner-Blake presents a view of life on the farm through her mother’s reminiscences and the memories of her own childhood on the farm. The intimate paintings are worked in gouache with a primitive simplicity. The images speak in a warm whisper tracing strong connections within the family and to the farm. \nSee more of her series at LorraineOrtner-Blake.com. \nEXHIBIT STATEMENT by Ortner – Blake: Farming in the Midwest: A Woman’s Perspective \n\n\n\nMy series of paintings portray my mother’s enduring memories from 1900s farm culture: waking on a morning when one is finally old enough to wade through dewy fields to get the cows\, eavesdropping as an older sister times her contractions while playing cards with Mom at the kitchen table\, or getting a step-saver to move milk to the bulk tank. \nI learned early that when I was making art for the church I was exempt from chores. I was a Catholic farm girl and it still shows: I am moved by the symbolism of icons and the rural landscape. This translates into the way I now paint. \nI embrace a semi-realistic and primitive manner. I distort perspective\, overlap timelines\, and include objects of personal symbology. The paintings are small\, intimate\, done in gouache\, usually on cotton paper. For me\, gouache allows detail; its flat surface is easy to view\, friendly. Using gouache allows my paintings to tell stories. \nIconography helps us understand a saint’s life and character; in my paintings\, I hope to do the same. My goal is to expand an understanding of personal history\, compressing time\, reframing and finding the visual symbols for a new audience. \nI feel the truth of Aristotle’s idea: “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things\, but their inward significance.”
