MY BOOT WILL LEAVE A TEXTURED IMPRESSION ON YOUR FOREHEAD!
29 FEB 22 - MARCH 7
Outside the Lines Art Gallery Opening Reception, Friday March 2 New for the month of March, Outside the Lines Art Gallery presents Textured Impressions, an exhibit of paintings by Cedar Rapids artist Nancy Lindsay in the impressionist style and high-fire ceramics of Dubuque artist Ron Hahlen. The exhibit opens on Friday, March 2, with an artist’s reception beginning at 7 p.m. Beverages and hors d’ oeuvres will be served.
A collection of new paintings, the recent work of Nancy Lindsay focuses on area landscapes. While forced to paint in her studio during the cold months of winter, Lindsay prefers to paint outdoors on location “to capture the true quality of the moment.”
A potter for over 40 years, Ron Hahlen works from his Art Design 583 studio, named for the Mississippi River mile marker at Lock and Dam 11. Taking inspiration from the world around him including the river, Hahlen creates vessels with embossed surface textures, often using unusual tools in the process. Also an art teacher at Hempstead High School (where he shaped some young 365 designers’ minds) Hahlen is set to retire this year after teaching for 41 years.
The Textured Impressions exhibit will be on display through April 2007. Outside the Lines Art Gallery is located at the corner of 4th and Bluff Streets, in historic Cable Car Square. For more information, call 563-583-9343, or visit www.otlag.com.
