media; along with a variety of pottery, jewelry, soaps, baskets, fiber art,
photography and original greeting cards.
August 2010
Most of the members
of Superior Artists Gallery got together for a pot luck at Jan Benson's
house in early August. They enjoyed the sultry summer air on Jan's
porch and deck as they ate delicious salads, ham and deserts. Along
with socializing, they planned several art shows that they hope to do
together in 2011. Stay tuned for more news about their upcoming shows.

Two art shows in

The members of Superior Artists Gallery are excited to come back together as
a group for two art shows in June. One show will be at the Black
Cat in Ashland, WI and at
the other art show will be at the Washburn Cultural Center in Washburn, WI.
We will be having a reception at the Washburn Cultural Center on Thursday,
June 3, 2010 from 5:00-8:00pm with music, refreshments and lots of great
art. Please stop by. We'd love to see you.
What's new? April 2010
We wanted to share
our recent news with you all and hope to see you at the shows.
Royanne Goossen
writes: The ice went out of Chequemagon Bay early this year and Spring
is in the air. I have planted many daffodils in bunches in the area we
don't mow by our driveway and they are ready to bloom. I am really
ready to change to painting the Spring season. This winter I have
painted several watercolors from the Fall photos I have taken. I do
enjoy the change of seasons we have in the North and that does inspire the
artist in me.
Mary Methven spent
the fall and winter painting flowers, landscapes and sunsets in pastel.
Memories of summer flowers inspired her as the days grew colder and darker.
She has spent most of 2010 pursuing her interest in theater arts, acting in
Harvey at The Chequemagon Theater Association in Ashland, in Clarisse with
Jan Lee at Theater in the Woods in Shell Lake, and in The 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee at StageNorth in Washburn.
Dora Kling's news:
Winter has been a great time for painting. My new work is still
experimenting with Mono printing, trying new methods of applying paint to
paper. I am anxious to show it to you and invite you to my Studio if
you make an appointment by phoning 715-373-2636, or come and see our
Superior Artists shows.
Jan Benson spent a
relaxing winter in Florida after all the business with closing down the
gallery. She is looking forward to an inspirational spring back in the
northland.
Wendy Reese's news:
I have been busy this winter with finishing up my master's thesis in special
education. Gilly, my faithful walking companion, is thrilled that the
snow is gone and that we can once again explore all the smells along
Washburn's walking trail. Appearances can be deceiving as although
Gilly weighs a mere ten pounds he is fearless and can walk for miles.
I am looking forward to summer, as I would like to take a full deep breath,
putter around in the garden and make art.
Mary McHugh was
distracted this winter with health challenges and found that art was one
area she could focus on. Her new pastel paintings feature light, color
and the natural beauty of northern Wisconsin. She entered paintings in
the winter shows at Firefly in Cable in January, in February at Art Beat in
Hayward and the 34th annual Bay Area Art Exhibition in Ashland, and the
Peace show at the Washburn Cultural Center in March.

2009
The members of
Superior Artists Gallery would like to welcome Sara Balbin, a metal
sculpture artist from the Drummond area, who has recently joined our group.
Check our her web page on our site as well as Sara's own web site.
In October the members
of Superior Artists Gallery got together at Dora Kling's house for a meeting
/ pot luck / art/craft afternoon. Ideas flowed regarding the types of
things we can still do as a group, even though our gallery building is no
longer open. We are planning art shows together and will list dates
and times for receptions on
our web site when the details are firmed up. Please check back
again soon.
