Upcoming Exhibits

<p class="font_8">MY WORKS SPAN MANY YEARS OF EXPLORING DIFFERENT ARTISTIC MEDIUMS. EVEN MY CAREER OF INTERIOR DESIGN;TEXTURES WERE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN CREATING A BALANCED DESIGN PROJECT. THE COMBINATIONS OF DIFFERENT ART TECHNIQUES HELP CREATE UNUSUAL COMPOSITIONS. I AM DRAWN TO TEXTURE AND MANY OF THE PIECES IN THIS EXHIBIT DEMONSTRATE THE IMPACT OF TEXTURE IN ALL FORMS OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. I HAVE INCORPORATED FELT, OLD SCRAPES OF WATERCOLOR PAPER,ACRYLIC PAINT AND HAND MADE PAPER INTO THIS EXHIBIT. I FIND THESE COMPOSITIONS CHALLENGING AND UNIQUE FOR CREATING MY OWN STYLE OF WORK.</p>

<p class="font_8">The collection is unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that includes woven wall hangings and sculptural rock art pieces that are inspired by nature and the beauty that surrounds us in everyday life.</p>
<p class="font_8">The pieces start with a single element of inspiration like a specific rock, twig, branch, or antler. The work evolves as it is being created and incorporates other elements that fit the composition. In my hands it feels as if the rock and branch are making their own art emerge! Items like buffalo horn rings, antlers pieces, turkey and pheasant feathers, dried pods and grasses, and leather are a few of the things I like to weave into my art.</p>
<p class="font_8">Showcasing this unique collection would allow the community served by the Yankton Art Council to experience art not only inspired by nature but made with the actual natural elements.</p>

<p class="font_8">Theresa Preheim - Drawn towards texture, color, and things found in nature, creating collage art has always been the most logical way to express the beauty that I see in everything.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">Olivia Barkl - My pottery reflects my deep reverence for nature and my commitment to craftsmanship. Using stoneware clay, I handcraft each piece with care, infusing them with the natural beauty that surrounds us.</p>
<p class="font_8">Firing my creations to cone 6 ensures both durability and aesthetic appeal, making them both functional and visually captivating. Influenced by the organic shapes and colors found in the natural world, my work exudes a sense of calm and harmony.</p>
<p class="font_8">What sets my pottery apart is the personal touch I bring to each piece. I take pride in creating my own glazes, often incorporating ingredients I've gathered myself. This hands-on approach adds authenticity and a unique connection to each creation.</p>
<p class="font_8">Through my art, I seek to share the beauty and tranquility of nature, inviting others to find solace and joy in the simplicity of handmade functional art.</p>
