Artist Statement:
I have been an artist at heart
for as long as I can remember,
yet it's only in retirement
that I've had time to pursue
my passion. Watercolor and
pastels are currently my
preferred media, although I
have also worked in oils in
the past. I am a strong
believer in lifelong learning
and continue to take classes
in painting at every
opportunity. Among the best
instructors I've ever studied
under is Kathy Esch, who
continues to be an inspiration
to me.

Nature art will warm you up
Jacob Stockinger Ñ 2/21/2008 6:44 am Ñ Wisconsin State Journal/The Capital Times
Surely I can't be the only person who is getting more than a little tired of snow, of cold and of the gray skies that bring both.
Here in the deep midwinter, a look at color and spring seems particularly refreshing and appetite-whetting.
So consider taking in a local show of local artists.
I'm talking about the show by the collective
Verde Art (Green Art) that is up at Manna Cafe and Bakery in Madison through Feb. 28.
Manna Cafe is a from-scratch bakery and neighborhood gathering place at 611 N. Sherman Ave. on Madison's north side.
Show hours for the duration of the exhibit will be Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Sundays, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The show, called "Verde Art" to raise awareness of environmental concerns, showcases a wide range of creative works -- from acrylics and pastels to watercolors, mixed media, pencils, and photography.
Many of these artists have Madison or Wisconsin roots, and many put off practicing their art during their working lifetime only to pick it up in retirement.
Artists represented include Kathy E. Esch (animal portraits), Ava Olsen (tropical colors and creatures of Costa Rica), Carol Ottenstein, Lizzie Oz Primozic, Susan Hoffman (landscapes), Ginny Bores, Tom Muckler, Jacki Martindale and Carolyn Bishop (floral and landscapes in watercolor and pastels).
