24TH ANNUAL NORTHEAST IOWA ARTISTS’

T

here’s yard art – and then there’s the art that magnificently graces the Burr Oak, Iowa, yard of artist Steven Maeck and his wife, Karleen.

Instead, the couple’s expansive yard – located just a couple blocks from another magnificent structure, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum – “houses” an array of Steven’s unique, thought-provoking sculptures. “Modernist and primarily non representational,” they’re crafted largely from iron and welded and assembled steel pieces found in salvage yards.
