Featured Artist, November 2011 - Terri Young
A reception will be hosted at Blank Canvas Gallery Friday, November 4th, 4:00-6:00pm for our featured artist Terri Young. The public is invited to join us at the gallery to meet Terri, and find out what her inspirations are and how her experiences as an artist and private art teacher have influenced her work.
Terri's subjects and styles of her artwork are varied. Watercolor, and acrylic paintings, pastels, and handmade jewelry, are all among her creative artworks, including new pieces not previously displayed at the gallery. Terri's favorite medium is pastels - sticks of pure colored pigment that may look like colored chalk but which are so much more. Jewelry is designed with stoneware clay she has rolled, shaped, glazed, and kiln fired to produce the colored beads and pendants.
Join Terri, other BCG artist members, and guest artists, to enjoy an early evening of art and refreshments.

Featured Artist" for May 2012: June House
A reception will be hosted by Blank Canvas Gallery Friday, May 4th, 5pm-7pm for our featured artist June House. On display are her works in watercolors, oil, acrylic, and pastels. The various subjects "provide the viewer with a break from our complex world..." The public is invited to join us at the gallery to meet June, and discover how her experiences and observations throughout life have influenced her work.
Her artistic interests and whimsical "Sunday funnies" pencil drawings in childhood, led to an Art Major at the University of Nebraska. Much later, her family included 5 sons, and she would grab paper at hand and pencil, in order to draw a sketch of a boy at play, or asleep. Throughout the years with several household moves, June would draw a bird's-eye view of the "next house". June continues to find joy to paint subjects with a high level of realism, especially commissioned works requested by people who want to keep a memory alive; subjects including antique objects, lake cottages, boats, or portraits...a DeHavilland Beaver aircraft for an airplane aficionado, as well as a 1927 Model T Depot Hack for an antique auto buff!
June has received recognition for her works: the Winter Barn oil painting was accepted in the 1988 North Dakota Centennial Juried Art Exhibition; she was awarded a grant by the Region 2 Arts Council for study with her favorite watercolorist, Anne Abgott; in 1995 two of her watercolors were exhibited in the Perimeter Gallery, Chicago; in 2011 two of her works were included in the prairie-themed exhibit "Horizontal Grandeur" in the gallery at Morris, Minnesota.
