Ames Center12600 Nicollet Ave, Burnsville • ames-center.com 952/895-4685 • M-F 9am-5pm, Sa 10am-2pm, Su 12-4pmBonnie Cutts & Cynthia Starkweather-Nelson: Something
In Between – through Oct. 12 – Cutts and Starkweather are acrylic painters. Although their imagery is quite di�erent,
they see a strong connection in that they both look deep within: Cutts into neuroimaging – digital images of brain neurons – and Starkweather into the surface of water and what lies hidden below. Both work to reveal what is buried inside of the images. �ere is a conversation between the swirling images on the surface of Starkweather’s water and the vi-sual dance of materials on Cutts’ textural surfaces. It is clear that what is not seen is as important as what is on the surface. Once presented together, the work sings.

Northfield Arts Guild 304 Division St. • 507/645-8877 • northfieldartsguild.org M-F 10am-5pm, visit website for weekend hoursTribute to Stephanie Henriksen: A retrospective of her work–
through Oct. 4. �e Arts Guild will honor one of its earliest and strongest supporters with this retrospective. Henriksen began her North�eld Arts involvement as a student at St. Olaf College in the early ’60s, returning as Artist in Residence at the College in 1979. While in her residency she met her husband, a North�eld public school art teacher, David Kamis. Kamis was a hog farmer as well as an artist and a perfect match for Henriksen who says her fondest memories are of the Iowa family farms she grew up in. Henriksen brought her love of independent farming into her art and her art into social activism to support Minnesota family farmers. Among Henriksen’s most memorable events was the creation of a traveling exhibit titled “A Tribute to Family Farms.” Its �nal stop was at the Arts Guild.
Exhibits Oct. 10-Nov. 1. Opening Reception: Oct. 17, 7-9pm:�e Divide: A Linear Discovery – Anthea Alberda and
Rose Weselmann – Two-dimensional, non-objective images. Weselmann describes her process as a strategy of mark making in which the main in�uence on the outcome is the process of building a composition through outlining, �lling in blank spaces, adding lines and leaving gaps. Alberda builds her compositions from layers of nature’s paper (bark from trees), man-made bark (origami paper) and oil paint. �ese layers are held together by a Moore’s map pin, giving each piece of art a speci�c location in the fabric of our abstracted reality. Both artists play with the formal elements of line, color and shape in fresh new ways.
Members’ Gallery: Carol Richards – handmade quilts. �ese richly colored, deeply
nuanced, pieces of work are masterfully constructed. Intriguing in their original design and use of color and form, the quilted designs form lines of discovery.

I am an award-winning jewelry artist known for my work with stones and one-of-a-kind jewelry. I am passionate about color and utilizing color combinations that are pleasing to the eye. I utilize mixed metals that complement the color of the stones, pearls, Swarovski crystals and Czech glass used in my creations. I have been making jewelry since 2003 and continually expand my knowledge and imagination to create new and intriguing pieces every year.
My jewelry is comfortable enough to wear every day and perfect for that special occasion. I do custom work for special occasions. I was once asked to make a bracelet with sea glass that a woman and her husband had collected when they were on vacation.
A student of, among others, Karen Knutson, Karlyn Holman, Fred Somers and nationally known portrait artist Daniel Greene.
Multi-award winner from Artists of Minnesota, county fairs and the Panama City Beach (Florida) art competition. Was the featured Artist at the Arts in the Park Festival in Owa-tonna. Creates custom animal and people portraits from photographs.

Amy Brown
photographerConstantly excited by light, color, shape and texture, I am finding that photography in Min-nesota for me is a study more in the intimate landscape than in the grand ‘scape that so excited me when in the Southwest. The color palette is different in that blues, greens and yellows predominate, and reds are a pleasing surprise.
A multitude of subjects have opened my eye to new ways of seeing and challenged me to new ways of processing the images to present the beauty that I’ve witnessed.
Beauty is important. It is a necessity of a full life. Without beauty, the soul shrivels, and an emptiness develops.
From the time I hammered my first sheet of metal and lit up a torch, I have been in love with the processes of metalworking. Growing up on a farm outside of North-
field, I spent many hours as a child with my dad at his workbench and was always amazed with how he could take something from idea to the finished product
with just a few simple tools: hammer, saw, torch and solder. Later, I took my first metalworking class in college and was inspired to follow my passion to New Mexico, where I apprenticed with a metalsmith in the mountains outside of Santa Fe.
Today I use those same simple tools to create my own work. Earrings, brace-lets and necklaces are my “finished products.” Each piece is made of carefully
formed brass, silver, copper and gemstones. My jewelry is often infused with natural forms and textures, elements of inspiration from time spent on the North Shore, the prairies and the mountains. Like us, metal is in a constant state of change depending on the elements acting upon it: fire, water, air and pressure from the earth.

Dianne LockerbyMy work consists mostly of functional serving pieces and whimsical one-of-a-kind leaf faces. My hand-built pieces frequently involve leaf imprints with the shape or imprint incorporated into a bowl, plate or face. I teach pottery classes at the Paradise Center for the Arts in Faribault, as well as staff the Tuesday morn-ing Open Pottery Studio. I have always been unable to “just sit” and once I dabbled in clay, it stuck to my hands, my clothes and my heart. Now I mix enjoy-ments working both on handbuilding and the wheel, where I can use nature to fuel my creativity.

Jill Ewald
Julie Fakler
jeweler
fabric artist
pet painter
Since the mid-1990s, Ewald has explored how to visualize interior and exterior human connections though painting and drawing. Stylisti-cally, her work is as abstract as the concepts addressed by it. Recently she’s enlisted inks and thread on raw canvas as a means to explore move-ment in time and space. Ewald investi-gates these concepts by creating trails through land-, water-, and mindscapes.
Fakler creates vibrant original domestic ani-mal paintings and pet portraits using acrylic on hardboard.
She is currently working a new series of paintings, SAFE Sanctuary Portraits. All the animals in this new series are or were up for adoption with local rescue group SAFE Sanctuary.

fabric artistWorking in single and double strand embroidery floss is very tedious. This miniature work is a departure from the watercolor, acrylic and oil pieces that I usually create.
It is the responsibility of an artist to encourage others to indulge in their artist talents. I have done that in settings that include Hospice, group homes, family and friends.
My work, a group of seven water-color and acrylic paintings, are on display at District One Hospital in Faribault through September in a show coordinated by Paradise Center for the Arts in Faribault.
We are a husband & wife team who have been making pottery together since 1976. Our home and studio are located in the beautiful countryside east of Northfield.
Our work combines two arts. The first is the potter’s art of form and function created on the potter’s wheel or constructed from slabs of clay. The second is the design and hand painting of the whimsical picture that is on each pot. Our goal as artists is to offer a piece of work that provides function and decoration with a sense of humor and a story.
Henriksen grew up on an Iowa farm and has been drawing and painting people and farm animals all her life. As a public school teacher in California, Iowa and Wisconsin, she continued her own studio art in her free time. She began doing life size cutout paintings of students as artist-in-residence at St. Olaf in 1980 and consid-ers those her best work. Now retired, she and her husband David Kamis, a ceramist, have a studio on their farm in Dundas (D & S Designs) where they continue to produce art.

Joannie JohnsonHeather
I am an oil painter frequently inspired by hiking and kayaking experiences to create landscape paintings. I took up oil painting in the late 1990s while studying graphic design and photography at St. Ambrose Uni-versity in Davenport, IA. I earned a double major in graphic design and fine arts. I was the first undergraduate from my university to win entry into a major regional juried show at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. Oil painting captured me from the first time I picked up a brush. I get lost in the process of blending colors and seeing shapes emerge before my eyes, and in the expression of feelings while painting.From 2001-2011 I showed paintings at Art-A-Whirl and the St. Paul Art Crawl. I moved to Northfield from Minneapolis in 2011. This October marks the third year of my participation in the South Central Minnesota Studio ARTour.
Lawrenz has been creating jewelry since childhood, but launched her business, Lawrenz Jewelry in 2003. Found objects and natural stones inspire the jewelry she designs, and she finds gratification in bringing together unexpected components. Her current jewelry lines feature colorful metal pieces that she cuts from decorative tins, and other repurposed items. With each new design, she strives to create beautiful jewelry that women want to wear every day.

Dennis McClintock
I have been painting small wine and mango still lifes in my studio in Northfield after being inspired by a recent Matisse exhibit at MIA in which his use of pattern and color deeply motivated me to dig out fabrics and haunt produce departments, looking for cheap but beautiful mangoes that would rot by the time I was done with them!
2014 was McClintock’s fifth year with Northfield’s Riverfront Fine Arts Festival during Defeat of Jesse James Days and Riverwalk Market Fair in Bridge Square. Locally, his art has been on display at the Northfield Arts Guild, the Northfield Senior Center, The Archer House River Inn, The Hideaway and other retail settings. Before moving to Minnesota, Dennis lived in Texas, where his images were displayed and sold in galleries, gift shops, restaurants and retail, including the West Gallery at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.McClintock uses all the tools of a contemporary photographer, including digital image capture and creative post-processing. His subject matter ranges from scenic landscapes, nature and wildlife to historic architecture.

Colleen
I fell in love with ceramics in 1990 while taking the first class offered at the newly opened Northern Clay Center. For several years, I worked in clay part-time while running a Twin Cities graphic design business. In late 2004 I made the transition into full-time ceramics after moving to a new home and studio in rural southern Dakota County. From the beginning I have pursued a non-traditional ap-proach to ceramics learning. In addition to coursework at the Northern Clay Center, I have worked with accomplished artists in intensive workshops throughout the US. In 2008, in response to my transition to a more isolated rural setting, I founded Minnesota Women Ceramic Artists, a non-profit professional organization that hosts events, sponsors exhibitions and provides camarade-rie for its 70+ members.My work is primarily functional high-fire light stoneware, with a current emphasis on serving pieces and vessels. My recent work merges the subtle patterns, colors and textures found in historic textiles, the graceful forms of early 20th-century design, and the rich surfaces achieved in soda and wood firing. My work is sold at art fairs, events and galleries throughout the region.

Lucky RimpilaI have been creating stained glass art since 2002. Stained glass to me is poetry in a visual perspective. The interpreter takes from each piece something that is relevant to them and they can visualize their own verses from each piece and color. I like to create pieces that represent the outdoors as well as historical landmarks. I also like to do pieces that represent my faith journey. Stained glass to me is my escape into another realm where I can be creative as well as expressive and each person who views it can take from it their own story.

David Perez
I am a photographer, a capturer of events large and small, moments ordinary and extraordinary. I do this because moments are fleeting.Photography has been a hobby, a business, and a passion most of my life. With the change to digital photography a decade ago, I have the tools to turn my images into photographs that match my artistic vision. Always a nature and wildlife photographer, I have expanded my areas of interest to include events such as rodeos, air shows, and portraiture of show animals and pets. With my wife (also my cat wrangler), we create portraits of participants at national cat shows. Capturing the personality of these beautiful animals is sometimes challenging but always enjoyable.My work is used by the Minnesota DNR, Minnesota Zoo and Na-tional Park Service; and images have appeared in magazines from Alpaca World to Cat Fancy. My work has been exhibited at the Riverfront Fine Art Festival, Northfield Arts Guild, North-field Senior Center, Burnsville Performing Arts Center and galleries around Minnesota. I regularly participate in local and regional photographic competitions and have won many awards for my work.

I make simple functional items, what used to be called “treen.” I don’t use patterns. Shapes emerge as I remove wood and I begin to see the possibilities. I use common native species and love to try ones that are new to me. I take commissions, say making a memento using wood from a beloved tree. And last, I make small, whimsical or decorative items.

Rose Weselmann Juliane Shibata
A Northfield native, Weselmann earned her BA in Art and Psychology from Luther College, graduating in 2013. During her career at Luther, her attentions drifted toward abstraction and construction. The thought of eradicating all previous constructs and developing a new, complex and somewhat impossible structure continue to be a driving force in her art. Now residing in St. Paul, Weselmann keeps her artistic inspiration through working at Wet Paint. “On a blank sheet of paper, I choose a corner to make the first mark, a line that eventually morphs into a series of non-objective structures. The subject matter reflects a strategy of mark making in which the main influence on the outcome is the process of building a composition – outlining, filling in blank spaces, adding lines, leaving gaps. I have an inven-tory of images that are repeated over and over that I treat as building blocks off a foundation, focusing each mark as if it holds structural support. Manipulation then allows the construction to take different form. Struggling to infuse my work with this notion of spontaneity using line, composition and arrangement, I find these acts of impulsiveness to be most rewarding.”
Shibata received her MFA in Ceramics from Bowling Green State University in 2006, having previously graduated from Carleton College with a BA in Studio Art. She has been an artist in resi-dence at Ox-Bow (an art school in Michigan affiliated with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago), the Appalachian Center for Craft in Tennessee, and The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China. She taught at Hope College in Holland, Michigan and at Carleton College in Northfield.Shibata is a 2014 recipient of an Artist Initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and looks forward to exhibiting at the Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, Wisconsin this November and the Northfield Arts Guild in January. “Fruits, plants and vegetables have long had profound symbolic meanings in art, literature and mythology. My porcelain sculpture reflects on humans’ relationships to food and the natural world. I am interested in creating botanically inspired works that deal with ideas of fertility, growth, transience and ephemerality.While some pieces are more contained and based on a still life format, several installations are quite large and are composed of hundreds of small porcelain elements. The color, finish, design and placement of individual ceramic pieces are essential in my ability to evoke quiet, introspective and whimsical narratives. As I reposition my sculptural pieces post-firing, I take a more open-ended and intuitive approach installing the porcelain. The story behind my work is allowed to evolve until I decide on the particu-lar conversation the pieces share with each other.”

Geralyn Thelen
Lives in Northfield and owns The Sketchy Artist. A St. Olaf grad with a BA in Art (1999).I started out learning how to draw from comic books while being inspired by Leonardo DaVinci, Rodin and Bob Ross. Yeah, it’s an unusual mix but it definitely set the groundwork for my style. I’m drawn to three things when it comes to expressing myself: the female figure, human nature and experimenting with mediums.
What ties us together, what is relatable...and what makes us stand alone within? Beauty within harsh lines, emotions through exaggeration of form and content, resolution from an unexpected interplay of ink it’s all about forgetting the rules and, instead, let-ting the process find its voice. And mine.
For some reason, my stories do not come out in words; but when I work with glass...my heart sings and the glass talks to me.Each piece of glass I create is formed in my heart and is produced with great love.

Mark Daehlin
Bunch is founder and owner of Dr. Jellyfish Studios. He’s known for his surrealist/dreamlike art, and has lately been working in 3D. He uses Prisma color pencils and Microns ink pens with such brilliance that his colors look like oils. Bunch teaches art at the Northfield Arts Guild and the Northfield Senior Center. He prides himself on using only raw materials – as opposed to any computer-generated graphics. His work finds its way onto walls of offices, homes and album covers.
Daehlin, award-winning wild-life and landscape artist from Northfield, paints super-realistic landscapes, dreamscapes and skies. He works both in the studio and outdoors, always with an eye out for the transcendent moment or spiritual uplift. His “Windows on Paradise” are a door to the inner worlds where dreams, visions and healing await; where we all can find a clue to our deepest source of insight and peace. Of-fering original paintings, fine art prints, greeting cards and jigsaw puzzles. Mark lives in Northfield with his partner Suzanne White.

David Allen – Northfield Nostalgia and MoreI have two David Allen paintings in my two-bedroom condo. Both are winter scenes showing North�eld’s Bridge Square from dierent angles. In one, the iconic red 1918 popcorn wagon can be seen braving the elements near the Scriver Building. North�elders know the popcorn wagon is put away aer Defeat of Jesse James Days in September until our long winter �nally releases its grip sometime in May. What’s up with that?When I visited North�eld artist David Allen at his studio be-hind his house on Woodley Street East, he gave me the answer: artistic license. He wanted to include “a splash of red color in the winter,” so he put in this iconic feature of Bridge Square. In truth, since Allen is known for painting places imbued with history and nostalgia, he does not take a lot of liberties with such scenes. Mostly, he told me, he will just put in shadows or light re�ections and may move a tree or add a lamp post or a �ag pole as it suits his artistic vision. Allen is not an en plein air painter, �nding that too time-consuming. He prefers to work from photographs and memory.Memories! �at is Allen’s stock in trade, providing art that brings back memories of familiar places and events of North-�eld, his home since 1976. Have you ever �shed on Bridge Square? Shopped during a snowy Winter Walk in December?
Paused to admire window displays at Quality Bakery or at the North�eld Historical Society museum? Attended one of North-�eld’s schools or belonged to one of its churches? Slid down Old Main hill at St. Olaf or at Bell Field at Carleton as a child or with your own children? Do you remember the Ideal Café and Jacobsen’s store, no longer on Division Street? Or St. Olaf ’s 1900 dormitory Ytterboe Hall? Allen has captured these memories, among many others, including scenes from Farmington and other nearby communities. But his major focus has been on North�eld, St. Olaf and Carleton colleges. Allen told me he has always been interested in history and is pleased, as an artist, to be able to help preserve local history. He said, “I could paint another 50 years in this town and probably never run out of subject matter. I like to paint things that bring nostalgia to people.” His favorite subject is Bridge Square, in all seasons, “the center of the community,” where people tend to gather. Allen said, “Anyone who ever comes to this town is almost mesmerized by Bridge Square, they just love it,” and he always takes his visitors there, just to “wander around.”
Another favorite topic is train depots, and he has painted ones from North�eld, Montgomery, Farming-ton, Faribault, New Prague, New Ulm, Rosemount, Kenyon, Rochester, Lakeville, Waseca and Hudson, Wisconsin. His ancestors came from Ireland, arriving in Minnesota by train, and “If it wasn’t for the railroad, it would have been a lot tougher to settle out here.” Al-len started painting depots in about 1970 and he said that many depots are disappearing. His wife, Pat, has been helping the eort to save North�eld’s 1888 depot. Allen, who grew up in Mankato, was the second of 14 children. His father Richard Allen, from Mineota, had gone to art school at what is now known as the Minne-apolis College of Art and Design. Aer serving in the Paci�c with the army during World War II, Richard Allen found work painting murals on the sides of houses and stores. David Allen told me you can still see some of the signs his father painted in southern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota, signs such as

“Five cents. Drink Coke” for the Coca Cola Company. Allen inherited his interest in art from his father. Allen said, “We just always took art for granted. He would let us play with art, paint, do whatever we wanted, so it was just part of the rou-tine…It was the way you grew up.” But with 14 kids and Allen’s grandmother and aunt also living with them, there wasn’t much space for a studio in their house in Mankato, just part of a front porch cordoned o. Richard Allen did commissioned paintings in oil and also became a liturgical art decorator. �ere was “a lot of scaolding work, painting pictures of saints and angels, do-ing �ligree work,” with help from David and his older brother, Dick. Among David’s siblings, brother Dick became a novelist and two of his sisters, Mary and Katie, are professional singers. Only David Allen became a visual artist. David Allen graduated from Loyola High School in Mankato in 1961, and served in the U.S. Army in Germany from 1961 to 1964. He then worked for a couple years in a steel mill in Detroit until “I decided that wasn’t my calling,” and he returned to Mankato. �ere he got a B.S. degree in art and special educa-tion in 1970 from Mankato State University and married his high school sweetheart, Pat Reedy, in 1967.Aer college, Allen started teaching special education and then art at Rosemount High School and also established a work pro-gram for at-risk kids. As Allen explained it, “Kids would have to take a class on how to be able to work, how to get jobs, how to keep jobs,” learning life skills. �e students would be released from school to work and “�en we as teachers would monitor their work so that they would be successful.” Allen said it was a very rewarding program, watching kids blossom and “get a sense of who they are” as they then went on to careers. Allen was commuting to his work in Rosemount from St. Paul, but when their son, Sean, reached school age, the Allens, with two younger daughters, decided they wanted to move to a better environment and a smaller community. Allen had been participating in the North�eld Arts Guild Arts Festival during Defeat of Jesse James Days since 1970 and when they found their 1899 home on Woodley Avenue East, they became North-�eld residents in 1976. Allen said that he noticed “right o the bat” that “everybody was friendly and welcoming, and it’s just a beautiful place” which has been kept that way, with a “taste of the old homestead, the old prairie towns that I really liked and still do.” All three of their children went to North�eld schools. Sean now is a real estate developer in Rochester. Daughter Megan Tsui lives in Red Wing and is executive director of the North�eld Enterprise Center, assisting businesses and leading the Spur co-working program. Daughter Bridget Reuvers lives in North�eld and drives a school bus here. In 1986, Allen and four other teachers started a new school under district guidelines, the Rosemount Alternative Learn-ing Center, with Allen as the art teacher. It was “for kids that were dropouts, or having trouble, or just didn’t want to be in school in Rosemount,” Allen said. �is was his work for 26 years. Besides teaching art, he taught shop, English and some auto mechanics, “whatever they wanted me to teach, I would teach it. And it was a blast, I enjoyed it.” In total, he taught 43

things as demonstrating watercolor and acrylic techniques and helping with clay classes. Allen said, “I like kids, so it’s perfect.” As a visiting artist, “I don’t have to discipline them anymore.”Of course, retirement means more time for his art, but Allen told me that over the years, “I would try to every day do some-thing with art, an hour, two hours.” Allen’s father always told him, “Inspiration comes from work, work does not come from inspiration,” and he adheres to that. Allen said, “So the more
years in Rosemount and has been retired for the past year. Allen laughed as he said, “And I’m getting used to it. I don’t like it, but I’m getting used to it.” Could Allen have made a living just as an artist? He replied, with another laugh, “If I wasn’t teaching, I’d be a lot skinnier than I am now.” But he had a family to support, and he loved teaching. For two Septembers since retirement he has been artist-in-residence at the Rosemount Middle School, doing such

hero,” another “crazy guy” like Quixote, but “just so talented.”Another sculptural theme was born when David and Pat Allen visited their son when he was in the Peace Corps in Paraguay and noticed elderly women and men feeding birds in the village square. “�at was their entertainment, all day long,” a scene
Allen saw repeated in other countries such as Italy. Allen liked the “communi-
you work, the more inspired you become, so that’s why I always emphasized you have to keep working.” Artists feel compelled to work anyway: “It’s just part of you, you have to do it.” And Al-len feels lucky that, as an artist, he still has this artistic calling to keep him busy.When the Allens �rst moved to North�eld, their house came with a chicken coop in the back that he tried to retro�t for a studio. Even aer adding a woodstove, “I’d come out in the morning and all my paints would be frozen.” So he painted in a corner of the family room for many years, then in a studio addition built onto the house. Needing more room, in 2012 he replaced the coop with a big garage which serves a variety of purposes, besides sheltering cars. (“My kids call it the Garage-Majal,” Allen said.) �ere is a greenhouse, with ten-foot-tall windows, with Allen’s studio on the second �oor. Near the cars is a space for welding. Welding? Yes. �ough he mostly does metal sculptures in the spring and summer, and paints acrylics and watercolors during the winter, Allen can now weld year round. �is aspect of Al-len’s art is not as well-known as his painting, but he has actually worked with welding since starting in a college shop. It was not a class; he said, “I kind of taught myself.” And his work was abstract, which was “all the rage in the ’60s.”Allen’s welding found a focal point in the mid-1970s. Al-len’s interest had been piqued in college when he had read Cervantes’ immortal tale about Don Quixote �ghting those windmills which he had mistaken for giants, along with his sidekick Sancho Panza. Allen considers Quixote to be “just a timeless �gure of people having their dreams and visions and following them – crazy as he was, he followed them.” Allen began painting this Quixote theme in 1970, with welding taking over by the mid-1970s. He has produced Quixotic works ranging from eight inches tall to seven feet tall. Allen estimates each takes about eight to ten hours to complete. And this year Allen has added a surrealistic painting of Don Quixote to his oeuvre. Allen said this has come out of his love of doodling shapes, which has in turn led to a series of boldly colorful paintings. Allen’s sur-realistic works are inspired by the mustachioed Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, whose images of melting pocket watches in �e Persistence of Memory (1931) are widely recognized. Whenever Allen is in Florida, he makes a stop at the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg which has the largest collection of Dalí’s work outside of Spain. Allen said that Dalí is “my absolute

Allen also sells greeting cards for $4 each and is currently selling 25 dierent scenes from North�eld, Carleton and St. Olaf colleges, New Prague and Montgomery.Allen told me, “I like painting the pictures, but I like people to have them,” so he makes sure his work is aordable. He has set a $75 charge for all his prints, with acrylics and water-colors ranging from $150 to $350. Allen’s art can be seen at davidallenart.com and facebook.com/davidallenart. He may also be reached at 507/645-9298. A gregarious man, Allen greatly enjoyed seeing friends, neigh-bors and other passersby at September’s North�eld Arts Guild Riverfront Arts Festival during Defeat of Jesse James Days. If you missed him there, Allen will be having an open house and art sale at his studio at 306 Woodley Street East from 1 to 5 pm on Nov. 29 and 30.

If it is to be a surprise, Allen will make stealthy forays to take pictures or use pictures provided. Such works become family heirlooms.

Artist statement: “I love to paint winter scenes because the snow changes everything. It presents a totally di�erent view of a scene than summer. Snow so�ens the landscape and re�ects the light in an absolutely di�erent manner. It adds a sense of peace and tranquility to paintings which is what I o�en try to convey in my paintings.”
