Stories + Senses: Reflections in Nature features three artists all working in our region: Mary Ellen Sisulak (Ellison Bay), Naomi Moes Jenkins (Egg Harbor/De Pere), and Marilyn Prescott (Appleton). These artists are all engaged in a process of translating what they see in their immediate environments. The surfaces of Prescott’s abstract paintings are rich with references to her walks along the Fox River. They are paintings that reward slow, close viewing. The materiality of many of Naomi’s sculptures seem to be pulled right out of Prescott’s paintings and create a sense of entering into a world of mythology. Sisulak’s work, created from materials ranging from leather to water-soluble encaustic, fills the viewer with the sense of magic and mystery present when you spend time deep in the forest. Please join us for the Opening Reception: Friday, August 28, 5:30-7 pm. On Exhibit: August 29th–October 11th.
