Activities continue for artists of the 2013 Artisans Road Trip!  Remember - just because the "road trip" part of the 2013 A.R.T. is past, doesn't mean the 2013 A.R.T. events and activities are over!  We still have exhibits at the Pearson Lakes Art Center at Okoboji, Iowa and one that has just ended at Spencer Iowa's Arts on Grand, and yet another coming up in the next couple months at the Clear lake Art Center - more on that at a later time.

A new event coming up for 2013 A.R.T. Sioux Center, Iowa artist Joanne Alberda, is at Northwestern College!  The new exhibition opens on Oct. 28 and runs until Nov. 15.  "Tales from Heaven and Earth", an exhibition of fabric artwork will be on display in Northwestern College's Te Paske Gallery.  A public reception is scheduled for Friday, November 1 at 7 p.m.

Anita's watercolor paintings and colored pencil drawings reflect her life in the upper Midwest - rural landscapes. waterscapes, architecture indicative to this area. Currently her inspiration and focus for her work are the designs, the patterning created as nature and man play with the surface of the land and water. The bulk of her work has been created from photos taken while kayaking, one of her favorite ways to get up close with nature. Anita's approach to her artwork is realistic and her style ranges from loose flowing brushstrokes to tightly controlled detail. She looks for spatial relationship with the subject matter and loves to simulate surface texture.
