New at Abode Gallery... Driftless: An Exhibition





 

Abode Gallery is proud to present our newest group show: "Driftless".

Diftless: An Exhibition
Now thru September 30th
Opening Reception: Aug 23rd., 5- 7pm
Abode Gallery, Stockholm, WI

The Driftless area of the upper Mississippi River Basin is a unique region with a landscape steeped in beauty. The area was bypassed by the last continental glacier, and as a result, natural weathering and erosion created steep, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful topography.

"Driftless" depicts this distinctive sculpted landscape in paint, ceramic, metal and wood. The show highlights unique bluffs, forested hillsides, farmed countryside and cold-water trout streams.

New works from 7 local and regional artists, whose names you will surely recognize, will be featured:

Margy Jean Balwierz
Maria Dudley Kowalski
Robert Gehrke
Terrill Knaack
Denise Presnell Weidner
Dianna Shandorf
Jeff Stern

YOU'RE INVITED...

Join us for our opening reception on Friday, August 23, 2013, from 5-7pm. View the collection, meet and greet the artists, and enjoy refreshments and live music. The event is free and open to the public. Artists in attendance will include: Maria Dudley Kowalski, Robert Gehrke, Terrill Knaack and Jeff Stern.

Announcements about the exhibition and opening reception will also be announced on our Facebook page.

Introducing Maria Dudley Kowalski

Maria Dudley Kowalski is an accomplished artist who works in watercolors and oil.  She and her husband recently moved from Laguna Beach, California, to beautiful downtown Maiden Rock.  Their home offers an inspiring view overlooking the water. 

She has a very interesting perspective. Take a look at her series of 5 x 7 watercolors of local scenes.  Notice the larger California piece, a beautiful example of her large-scale pieces. 

You will be seeing more of Maria at Abode.  She is working on a series of oils of local scenes to display here.  Stop by this weekend and see Maria’s pieces up close.  You’ll be glad you did.
