SUMMARY:Solo Art Exhibition: Denice Peters “Be Still”
DESCRIPTION:Be Still\nSolo Exhibition by Denice Peters\nJanuary 20th – February 15th\, 2025 At The Octagon Community Gallery \nAbout this solo exhibition:\n \nCreating realistic pastel paintings using strong light and shadow with a bit of nostalgia and a sense of peace is my goal. I’m inspired by the effect that light has on objects. It’s the spark of brightness shining against the darkness that appeals to me. Every painting is about this dramatic glow evoking an emotional response\, regardless of the subject. Ipaint without any tools other than my fingers and pastel sticks. My work is pure soft pastels. No other medium is used . I paint in my self honed style I call ‘Blended Reality’. I want to help others see the beauty and peace that is all around us. Life is too short to do otherwise. \nExhibition Dates:\nJanuary 20th\, 2025 – Exhibition Opening Day\nJanuary 23rd\, 2025 – Exhibition Reception\, 5:30PM – 7:30PM in the Community Gallery\nFebruary 15th\, 2025 – Exhibition Closes \nArtist Biography:\n \nDenice Peters is a recognized woman artist in Contemporary Realism Art. This native of NW Iowa has painted with pastels for over 30 years. Her work centers around dramatic light and mood. Her artworks resonate with the viewer and is laced with nostalgia. Her level of skill has bestowed her with recognition In magazines\, national and international competitions and awards. Also she’s achieved a level of talent that garnered her as a juried member of the prestigious International Guild of Realism and earned Signature Status in Pastel Society of America\, MidAmerican Pastel Society and the Iowa Pastel Society and elected as President of the Iowa Pastel Society. Born in 1958 in LeMars\, Iowa\, USA\, and raised on a farm instilled in her connection to the earth and Midwest values. She incorporates these things into her still life paintings. Married to her high school sweetheart and raising a family slowed her art career until they got older. When she decided to take a workshop \, it changed her life\, introducing her to pastels. She had found her medium and never looked back She didn’t have the opportunity to earn an art degree\, so she took it upon herself to hone her talent\, learning by trial and error. She took every art class she could in high school and was selected to be in the advanced art class as a senior. In time she developed a style that she refers to as “Blended Reality”. She worked with pastels until she reached the outcome she could see in her head. She was told you can’t paint realistically with soft pastels\, but she bucked the trend and painted in her own way. She uses no implements\, just pastels and her fingers. So she becomes a part of the work in every way. Her work is collected mostly by private collectors in the US and 2 other countries Denice’s work can be seen on her website denicepelers.com and through Kavanaugh Gallery in West Des Moines\, IA. \n
