Doriane Nieburgs Blends Mediums at Blowing Sands for May Artwalk

Doriane Nieburgs adds texture and feeling to the art of felting. Her felted wool vessels have basketry rims and natural embellishments such as beads, feathers, and twigs.  

The show includes her pastel drawings related to her felted vessel designs. Together they demonstrate the transformation from one art form to another, as well as what happens in that transformation from a 3-dimensional object to a more personal 2-dimensional drawing.

Pause for a Moment: Patti Christie at Venue during April Artwalk

New at Venue, artist Patti Christie uses chalk pastels to create art that is meant to evoke a moment of repose.  

Her work is an interpretation of what she sees and knows. Mostly about shape and color, her goal is to simply put the viewer at ease.

The enjoyment begins for Patti with the carpentry of building the boards, applying the ground, and visualizing what the next series may be.  She draws from recent experiences and then begins with the layering of color.  She works as a child might, allowing the piece to evolve purely on its own.
