P.S., We Love Art

            And, so do you! Art and design is all around us. It's in your favorite cars, boats, homes, saunas, furniture, landscape, clothing, toys, billboards, computer screens, everywhere. Art is in every fiber of our surroundings.

            This July 1- 30 well-known regional artists Sara Balbin, Jan Macfarlane, Mary McHugh and Mary Methven will showcase their original works of art at the Superior Artists Gallery in Washburn.  A harmony of color and movement, as well as serene pastel paintings, and metal sculptures for interior and exterior landscaping will be featured in the diverse show. On exhibit will be dynamic scenes of Lake Superior, sailing, nature, wildlife, domestic animals, and the study of the energetic human form.

            Each of the show's artists has a unique story to tell. McHugh recently earned the April 2009 Artist of the Month Award sponsored by the Black Cat Coffee House at the 33rd Annual Bay Area Art Exhibition in Ashland, WI. She stated, "I spend a great deal of time outdoors. My pastel paintings mirror the environment with lots of layering, texturing, and rich deep colors."

            Jan MacFarlane moved to Washburn four years ago, pursuing her passion for pastel paintings with the study of animals and nature scenes.

            Mary Methven's lives by the Chequamegon National Forest with 11 sled dogs. She said, "I work with pastels, watercolor, oil and find inspiration in the outdoor natural settings that surround me."

            Sculptor Sara Balbin combines steel, rock and flame to create works that reflect the nature of mankind and mankind in nature. Balbin's large public sculptures are well known in the Cable area of Northwestern Wisconsin.  Her smaller more intimate figurative steel expressions demonstrate fluid motion, spiritual reflection and individual character.

            The Superior Artists Gallery opened its doors on July 1, 2002 as a cooperative venture for artists to celebrate the familiar and exceptional world that surrounds us. For more information on this exciting show with original works of art, contact Superior Artist Gallery at 715-373-5075.
