Ernest Beutel’s artwork is abstract representationalist with a tendency toward crayon. His works combine complex ideas with a light playful quality.

Faith Frykman creates paintings and monotypes in oil, pastel or acrylic. She simplifies a subject and then transforms it with her uninhibited use of texture, surprising colors and intriguing gestural lines.

Lynn Gilchrist works in pastels and oils, concentrating on vivid landscapes and figurative subjects. Her work hangs in corporate and private collections across the country.

Liz Maltman and Rick Risch are showing their artwork at Risch’s studio. Maltman is known for her bold color and fluid imaginative style and Risch for his rich textural technique.

Tim Nyberg’s acrylic paintings are alive with strong brushwork and color. A graphic designer, author and illustrator, Nyberg shows a striking range of subject matter.

Pat Olson has long been known for her whimsical paintings licensed as designs for the gift industry. Her new fine artwork, landscapes and still lifes in pastels, will also be on display.

Jeremy Popelka and Stephanie Trenchard will show their fine art glass, murrini vessels, abstract oil paintings and jewelry at their Popelka-Trenchard Gallery.

Will Roberts’ intensely colored pastel or acrylic landscapes and figure studies start with the natural world and then play with perception.

Deb Stroh-Larson will be showing and selling her monotypes, etchings and watercolors.
