SUMMARY:A Prairie Seed AUTUMN ROZARIO HALL
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE SMALL WALL GALLERY \nArtist Statement\nI first fell in love with the prairie when studying art at UNI. Wandering the twisting paths of the restored prairie calmed my mind. As I drank in grasshopper droning\, late summer’s scent of grass\, the pollen\, the leaves\, and the many colors\, I felt grounded and renewed. The prairie sang to me in a way that allowed me to simply be. I began my prairie series after I moved to Des Moines. I immersed myself in the local prairie\, sketching and collecting photos\, and samples for reference. I wanted this series to capture the feelings I had while wandering those prairie paths. This idea blossomed into the series Prairie Seed Dreaming. The series explores the relationship between woman\, plant\, and pollinator\, through botanically accurate renderings of native plants\, and dreamlike imagery of women immersed in the prairie\nlandscape. As the divide between woman and prairie blurs\, the roles separating them blur\, each becoming wholly dependent on the other. Through these paintings I invite the viewer into the prairie. I will use this series to raise awareness about the importance of prairie restoration and open a dialogue about the benefits of planting natives for both pollinators and people. \nArtist Bio\nAutumn Rozario Hall is a painter\, dreamer\, and collector of stories. Autumn grew up by the banks of the Mississippi river. Although she lived in town\, she always sought the wild places\, where the brambles overran the houses\, and the gardens outgrew their yards. These wild places inspire her art which seeks to capture a sense of wonder. Autumn currently lives in Des Moines\, Iowa and works in acrylic and mixed media. She had her first solo exhibition in 2014\, and has since participated in group shows in several states including\, California\, Maryland\, Texas\, Michigan\, Iowa\, and one international show in Portugal. She also participates in community art projects\, and is a member of the Urbandale Art Gallery Committee. Her work explores folklore and human connectivity to nature. \nhttps://www.autumnrozariohall.com/

SUMMARY:Surface Works PETE GOCHE
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY (1st FLOOR/STREET LEVEL) \nArtist Statement\nUsing site-adjusted installations as my primary mode of practice\, I deploy an integrated and focused approach to both theoretical and practical questions pertaining to the nature and impact of materiality specific to the re-occupation of post-industrial spaces. My works provoke a temporal-spatial encounter that reconciles the simultaneous and complex nature of cerebral and corporeal experience. Each inquiry utilizes a range of domains including art\, architecture and anthropology as a means of exploring not only what material cultivations can be\, but also what they\, in fact\, do. Based on a series of modulated experimental actions (material modalities)\, each installation is driven by the nascent possibility of a persistent desire to intercourse with existing material surrounds pursuant a philosophical position that leverages perceptual notions of chiaroscuro – the disposition of light and dark. By extension\, the conscious and unconscious\, the seen and the unseen\, focus and open awareness and the made and re-made are factors in the realm of understanding and producing space. It is a full-scale\, three-dimensional methodology that is followed by exploratory drawing and photography as a means to express its affects (immaterial harmonics). \nArtist Bio\nPeter P. Goché is a practicing artist\, architect and educator. Goché works with the nature of perception and spatial phenomenon in developing his material practice. His works provoke a temporal-spatial encounter that understand the simultaneous and complex nature of cerebral and corporeal experience. He is founder and executive curator of Black Contemporary\, a rural field station dedicated to the study of spatial phenomena and perception. His research on material practices has been published in a number of edited books and journals\, including Architecture as a Performing Art (Ashgate\, 2013) and Architecture and Culture (Routledge Taylor & Francis Group\, 2016). Goché has exhibited and lectured on his creative practice and scholarship at many conferences and cultural institutions throughout North America and Western Europe. He has lead multiple academic workshops including “CautionWet Floor: Slipping Into Deep” at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale (Venice\, Italy). As educator in the Department of Architecture and foundational design at Iowa State University\, Goché holds both B. Arch and M. Arch degrees in architectural studies from Iowa State University. He taught in the Department of Art at Drake University before joining the faculty at the Iowa State University. \nhttp://www.goche.com/

SUMMARY:ANGIE HUFFMAN & ROBERT JINKINS
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN SWEENEY GALLERY (3RD FLOOR) \n  \nAngie Huffman\nI try to render scenes from generally unremarkable life events that bring me joy when I first see them. Though mundane\, they reach out with a harmonious balance of composition and color. Quiet and wordless\, they imply a visual narrative and ask for further consideration. Transporting these moments in time onto canvas allows me freeze them in a state where others also have the opportunity to reflect on their harmony. Hopefully the viewer will to go forth and find unexpected moments of personal radiance in their daily lives as well\, like mindfulness meditation for the visual soul. Beauty and the mundane do not need to be not mutually exclusive. \nI have called my work portraits for lack of a more accurate term\, but I never feel their environments are subservient to their figures. They work together and do not compete. My source material is captured when life’s visual variables align in a fortuitous way and beg to be documented or (more commonly) is found in photographs previously judged unremarkable and left in storage. Painting a scene gives me ownership over every element in a way photographic reproduction could not\, and the level of control I crave in all things. \nSome critics have argued that realism is an outdated relic\, perfected centuries ago and more recently replaced with photographic reproduction. I have never understood how reality\, true human existence\, could be unilaterally discounted. Now more than ever (in my short lifetime)\, reality itself is attacked and called into question. What better time to embrace realism once again? \nEveryone sees the world through their own eyes\, but the fabric of existence is still the same. With the endless problems and downfalls that life has\, I will always focus on and celebrate what positivity it does provide. \nAngie Huffman was born and raised near Dallas\, Texas. She graduated from the University of North Texas with a BFA in Drawing and Painting in 2010. The school’s focus on contemporary and postmodernist work challenged her to find a way to act on her attraction to realism and portraiture while avoiding banality. \nIn 2014\, after critical evaluation of her everyday life\, Huffman relocated to Eastern Iowa. Lower costs of living and a healthier work-life balance have allowed her to devote more time and energy to her paintings. Her work has been included in exhibitions in Texas and throughout the Midwest. \nhttp://angiehuffman.com/ \n \nRobert Jinkins\nGrowing up on a farm that has been in my family since 1849\, I gained an admiration and reverence for the land that so many of my family members have worked upon. Like ghosts or spirits that walk the place\, monument-like markers exist signifying the actions and lives of those who came before me: a tractor may remain parked as it has been for years since the last time it was driven; a broken crock full of metal now slowly sinks into the earth under years of maple leaves falling from the massive trees that my grandfather planted when he was six year old. I find stories on this farm and record them in my art. Recent additions to the farm and surrounding landscape\, like some older relics\, have almost cosmic significance to me—a dead cow in a low-lying pasture may represent sin\, death\, and redemption. I enjoy painting every blade of grass while allowing a disconcerting ambiguity to lurk below the surface in order to encourage viewers into a deeper dialogue with the paintings. The entire world is portrayed within each individual line of graphite or stroke of acrylic ink from which my drawings and paintings are woven. \nRobert Jinkins is currently an MFA student at Iowa State’s Integrated studio arts program and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Platteville. Robert Jinkins is an emerging regional artist whose graphite and acrylic mixed media work focuses upon the people and landscape of the Midwest. Much of Robert’s subject matter comes from the family farm in Wisconsin that was homesteaded by an ancestor in 1849. In his work\, strives to reflect the  strength of the people and their history. \nhttps://robertjinkins.carbonmade.com/

SUMMARY:A Few of My Favorite Things MEGAN ANDERSON
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE SMALL WALL GALLERY \nFrom Megan Anderson:\nI have always been in awe of nature and its beauty. I see the world through a\nphotographer’s eyes and always wish I had a camera permanently attached to my hand.\nWith the invention of cell phones\, my dream came true. I want to show that it doesn’t\nmatter what fancy equipment you possess\, you can still capture beautiful and interesting\nphotography. Art is what you make of it. I have been fortunate enough to be able to\ncapture my every day experiences involving my animals and the nature around me\, and\nturn that into a creative outlet. \n\nI don’t typically take photos for others\, but find joy in them for myself. Over time\, family\nand friends have shown interest and I’ve been honored to give my photographs as gifts.\nThis will be the first time the public is receiving my work. I hope I can continue to grow and\nimprove in my photography skills and potentially parlay a hobby into a living. \nMegan Anderson’s Bio:\nMegan Anderson is a local amateur photographer. She feels fortunate to have grown up\non a farm in Northern Iowa where her love of animals and the outdoors was apparent from\nan early age. What started out as taking photographs for 4H\, evolved into taking photos\nfor personal entertainment. Megan attended Iowa State University and currently works as\nan equine veterinary technician. She has been able to combine her love of photography\nand animals into a hobby revolving around her own

These skills will be enormously helpful in all varieties of quick sketch. \n \nPlease bring the following supplies:\nVine or willow charcoal (paper and canvas to be supplied by me)\nSmall tube of raw umber oil paint \nA few brushes of varying size. One of those little brush kits at hobby lobby is fine. \nA small bottle of Gamsol or Odorless mineral spirit of your choice. \n \n\nVisiting Artist: Ananda Fetherston\, a Slater\, Iowa born fine artist\, was educated under Jacob Collins at the Grand Central Atelier in New York City. She has exhibited in New York where she lives with her husband\, a fellow painter. In addition to oil painting and drawing\, Ananda is a printmaker. \n\n \nAnanda will also be teaching a workshop on Thursday\, July 25\, Creating a Precise Linear Drawing for Painting.\n\n \n\n\nRegistration closes on at 5pm on 7/25/19 or when the workshop fills. \n\nTo register: \n\nenter the number of “tickets” you want below (one ticket per student)\nclick “add to cart”  \ncomplete the contact information form that appears after you add a ticket\ncomplete the payment information\ncheck your email for your receipt\n\nPlease contact us with any registration questions or concerns.

SUMMARY:Diary of a Mad World DERRICK BURBUL
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY \nDiary of a Mad World\nArtworks by Derrick Burbul\nJuly 20 to September 7\, 2019 \nArtist Statement\nMy images and writings have sometimes been juxtaposed\, but never combined\, until this body of work. The relationship between images and words can be traced back all the way to fourth century B.C. Greece to the Poet of Simmias of Rhodes\, who wrote his writings in the forms of images\, much like the Futurist poets of the early 20th Century. The relationship between images and words in the visual arts is often tumultuous\, and\nsometimes harmonious\, and is a very rich part of the contemporary dialogue. My desire to mix images and words has led me to create images\, which at first glance appear to be grainy black and white images in a modernist style. I use composition to capture the viewers attention\, and large scale images-all images range from the smallest at 8.5”x 18” to the largest at 40”x 40”\, which allow me to add minute details in the form of\ntext to play with the images content and meaning. What the viewer sees as “grain” from a distance\, become words as the viewer is drawn in closer to the image through the variety of styles in how the “grain” is structured. The “grain” structure is sometimes more random\, other times more patterned\, or even structured to visually simulate poor reception on an analogue television. Sometimes the words are more visually obscure and other times they are visually overt. The words are original poems\, stories\, diary entries\, and sometimes critical writings on art and photography. No matter what the words are\, they are designed to allow the viewer space to reconcile the meaning between the images and words for themselves. This is my Diary of a Mad World photographic series. \nArtist Bio\nI received my Master of Fine Arts in Studio Arts with an emphasis in Photography from the University of Idaho in May of 2000 and my Bachelors of Science in English with a minor in photography from the University of Wisconsin—Superior in 1996. I am currently a Professor of Art at the University of Nebraska at Kearney teaching Foundations Design and Photography.  Previously\, I taught photography and various studio art courses at Graceland University\, Iowa State University\, and the University of Minnesota at Duluth. My creative work explores the environment and our relationship to it. This has resulted in many bodies of work including my Diary of a Mad World series. Regardless of the process or academic nature of my work\, it all revolves around gaining a deeper understanding of our environment and our place in this world.

SUMMARY:Hard and Soft: Contrasts in Nature Expressed Through Clay ELIZABETH SHRIVER
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN SWEENEY GALLERY \nFrom Elizabeth Shriver:\nI work with clay to create an array of graceful\, organic forms. These pieces are\nconstructed using a combination of hand-building methods such as slab-building\, coiling\,\npinching\, and forming with molds. Rarely relying on glaze\, I use textures\, stains\, and\ncolored clay to add visual and tactile interest. I am drawn toward neutral earth tones\, and\nmy work reflects the natural landscape\, plant\, and undersea life that are my inspiration.\nThe curving lines of nature inherent in my work generate an illusion of movement\, giving\neach piece an almost lifelike quality. A successful piece is one that begs to be touched as\nwell as explored visually. \n\nI am a native Iowan and a 1987 graduate of the University of Iowa. My interest in art\nbegan during my childhood\, when I would often spend my free time painting and\ndrawing. My focus turned to clay in 1985\, when my I took my first course at the University of\nIowa Ceramics Department. I became fascinated with the malleable properties of clay\,\nand the sculptural possibilities inherent in the medium. Though I was majoring in\npsychology rather than art\, my newfound interest led me to continue on through all four\nsemesters of undergraduate studio ceramics. \n\nAs I maintained my interest in ceramics into my adult life\, I set up my own studio where I\ncould hone my skills and experiment with new forms. Over the years\, I have exhibited my\nceramic sculptures in galleries\, and in both solo and group exhibitions throughout the USA.\nMost recently\, I’ve enjoyed participating in juried exhibitions exploring themes of nature or\n“biomorphism.” \nhttps://www.elizabethshriverceramics.com/
