Although their imagery is quite different, 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. There is a conversation between the swirling images on the surface of Starkweather’s water and the visual 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. Minnesota Watercolor Society – Oct. 23-Nov. 30

Northfield Arts Guild

304 Division St. • 507/645-8877 • northfieldartsguild.org M-F 10am-5pm, visit website for weekend hours Tribute to Stephanie Henriksen: A retrospective of her work– through Oct. 4. The Arts Guild will honor one of its earliest and strongest supporters with this retrospective. Henriksen began her Northfield 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 Northfield 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 final stop was at the Arts Guild. Exhibits Oct. 10-Nov. 1. Opening Reception: Oct. 17, 7-9pm: The 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 influence on the outcome is the process of building a composition through outlining, filling 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. These layers are held together by a Moore’s map pin, giving each piece of art a specific 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. These 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.

Exhibit dates through Sept. 27: Carlander Family Gallery: Ann and Andrew Judkins – Ann is fascinated with the subtle coloration, texture and peculiarities of the Lake Superior rocks, worn into softened, simple shapes by the power of water and wind. Throughout this series of drawings in crayon, rocks are depicted realistically, but placement, manipulation and distortion go beyond realism into surrealism. Laws of physics are challenged or altered in her rock world. Andrew is a painter, writer and composer from North Mankato. He received a BA in Studio Art from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2002 and an MFA in Painting from The Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008.

In it, the young playwright reveals his guilt over his fragile sister’s inability to thrive in the world outside their St. Louis home. Centered on the triangulated relationship between brother, sister and mother, the plot hinges on the arrival of the Gentleman Caller, who each hopes will extinguish what Williams calls their “implacable fire of human desperation.” Tickets: $8, cash or check, at the door.

Oct. 24-26, Oct. 30-Nov. 1; Th-Sa 7:30pm, Su 2pm Little Theatre of Owatonna Married life is about to get interesting. Set on a September evening around 1908, this timeless British comedy centers on three couples who gather to celebrate their joint silver wedding anniversaries. As the evening progresses, one outrageous secret is revealed: the parson who married them wasn’t authorized to perform marriages, thus, they were never actually married and these uptight, distinguished couples have been “living in sin” for 25 years. When each couple samples a taste of single life once again, their relationships are vigorously and hilariously put to the test and the elephant in the room can’t be ignored. Do they really want to be married after all? Accomplished British novelist, essayist and playwright J.B. Priestley is perhaps best known for his play An Inspector Calls. Written in 1938, When We Are Married remains an audience favorite today. Tickets: $14 adults, $10 students and available at littletheatreofowatonna.org. The Addams Family Musical

Järvelä fiddlers have been fiddling in the front line of weddings in Ostrobothnia (on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Bothnia, the northernmost arm of the Baltic Sea) for generations, as far back as Juho Järvelä (1794-1837).

“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” ~Pablo Picasso

Tricia Bagstad jeweler

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. 2wiredsisters@gmail.com See more: 2wiredsisters.com and at the Spirit of the St. Croix Art Festival Sept. 27 (10-5) and Sept. 28 (10-4) at Lakefront Park in Hudson, Wi.

Amy Brown metal worker 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 Northfield, 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, bracelets 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. (custom orders): amy.c.brownie@gmail.com See more: Riverwalk Market Fair, (Saturdays through Oct. 25) and Just Food Co-op (holiday season), both in Northfield.

Chris Casper photographer Constantly excited by light, color, shape and texture, I am finding that photography in Minnesota 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.

My 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 morning 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 enjoyments working both on handbuilding and the wheel, where I can use nature to fuel my creativity.

Julie Fakler pet painter

Since the mid-1990s, Ewald has explored how to visualize interior and exterior human connections though painting and drawing. Stylistically, her work is as abstract as the concepts addressed by it.

Stephanie artist Henriksen 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 considers 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.

Jane Horton fabric artist

Working 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.

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.

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 watercolor 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. holmquistpottery @gmail.com See more: northfield.artstown.us/profile/view/chris-and-sue-holmquist jane.horton1@icloud.com See more: This piece will be at Paradise Center for the Art’s October exhibit, opening reception Oct. 3.

Joannie Johnson Heather Lawrenz

jeweler

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 University 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.

painter

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.

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 ArtA-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.

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 approach 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 camaraderie 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.

woodturner 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 National 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, Northfield 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.

Lucky Rimpila I 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.

Rose Weselmann painter

Juliane Shibata potter

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 residence 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. 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 nonobjective 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 inventory 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.” roseweselmann@gmail.com See more: roseweselmann.tumblr.com and at the Northfield Arts Guild Oct. 10-Nov. 1, Opening Reception Oct. 17.

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 openended and intuitive approach installing the porcelain. The story behind my work is allowed to evolve until I decide on the particular conversation the pieces share with each other.”

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, letting the process find its voice.

HISTORIC

HAPPENINGS By Susan Hvistendahl

David Allen – Northfield Nostalgia and More I have two David Allen paintings in my two-bedroom condo. Both are winter scenes showing Northfield’s Bridge Square from different angles. In one, the iconic red 1918 popcorn wagon can be seen braving the elements near the Scriver Building. Northfielders know the popcorn wagon is put away after Defeat of Jesse James Days in September until our long winter finally releases its grip sometime in May. What’s up with that? When I visited Northfield artist David Allen at his studio behind 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 reflections and may move a tree or add a lamp post or a flag pole as it suits his artistic vision. Allen is not an en plein air painter, finding that too time-consuming. He prefers to work from photographs and memory. Memories! That is Allen’s stock in trade, providing art that brings back memories of familiar places and events of Northfield, his home since 1976. Have you ever fished on Bridge Square? Shopped during a snowy Winter Walk in December?

Paused to admire window displays at Quality Bakery or at the Northfield Historical Society museum? Attended one of Northfield’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 Northfield, 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.”

Christmas on Bridge Square (2000) – David Allen: “I liked the way the light reflected off of the snow on a quiet winter evening on Bridge Square.”

October 2014

Another favorite topic is train depots, and he has painted ones from Northfield, Montgomery, Farmington, 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.” Allen started painting depots in about 1970 and he said that many depots are disappearing. His wife, Pat, has been helping the effort to save Northfield’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 Minneapolis College of Art and Design. After serving in the Pacific 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 routine…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 off. Richard Allen did commissioned paintings in oil and also became a liturgical art decorator. There was “a lot of scaffolding work, painting pictures of saints and angels, doing filigree 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. There he got a B.S. degree in art and special education in 1970 from Mankato State University and married his high school sweetheart, Pat Reedy, in 1967.

Skinner Chapel (2000) – David Allen: “The chapel is the first thing you see as you approach Carleton College. It presents a warm and welcoming sight.”

After college, Allen started teaching special education and then art at Rosemount High School and also established a work program 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. The students would be released from school to work and “Then 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 Northfield 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 Northfield residents in 1976. Allen said that he noticed “right off 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 Northfield schools. Sean now is a real estate developer in Rochester. Daughter Megan Tsui lives in Red Wing and is executive director of the Northfield Enterprise Center, assisting businesses and leading the Spur co-working program. Daughter Bridget Reuvers lives in Northfield and drives a school bus here. In 1986, Allen and four other teachers started a new school under district guidelines, the Rosemount Alternative Learning 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. This 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.”

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

Of course, retirement means more time for his art, but Allen told me that over the years, “I would try to every day do something 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

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 Allen feels lucky that, as an artist, he still has this artistic calling to keep him busy. When the Allens first moved to Northfield, their house came with a chicken coop in the back that he tried to retrofit for a studio. Even after 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 GarageMajal,” Allen said.) There is a greenhouse, with ten-foot-tall windows, with Allen’s studio on the second floor. Near the cars is a space for welding.

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. “That was their entertainment, all day long,” a scene Allen saw repeated in other countries such as Italy. Allen liked the “communi-

Welding? Yes. Though he mostly does metal sculptures in the spring and summer, and paints acrylics and watercolors during the winter, Allen can now weld year round. This aspect of Allen’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. Allen’s interest had been piqued in college when he had read Cervantes’ immortal tale about Don Quixote fighting those windmills which he had mistaken for giants, along with his sidekick Sancho Panza. Allen considers Quixote to be “just a timeless figure 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 surrealistic works are inspired by the mustachioed Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, whose images of melting pocket watches in The 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

cation between human beings and animals,” and made sculptures of people feeding pigeons, ducks, chickens and seagulls, sometimes softening the iron of the work by incorporating ceramic creatures. He has also made a bird lady of shiny mesh which originally was to be covered by clay but which he decided gave a “nice airy feeling.” So now he will start doing other sculptures in this way. Allen does commissioned paintings of homes, businesses, farms and other locales which are often given as Christmas and birthday presents, charging $300 for a watercolor, $375 for an acrylic. If it is to be a surprise, Allen will make stealthy forays to take pictures or use pictures provided. Such works become family heirlooms. He has just started to market personalized paintings of the Grand Event Center, with “your name here”

on the marquee, for $75 for a print and $300 for a personalized original. (He first did this for his own daughters after their wedding receptions were held at the Grand.) Allen also sells greeting cards for $4 each and is currently selling 25 different scenes from Northfield, 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 affordable. He has set a $75 charge for all his prints, with acrylics and watercolors 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, neighbors and other passersby at September’s Northfield 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. Stop on by! Thanks to artist (and 1966 St. Olaf graduate) L.K. Hanson for his illustration of David Allen. Hanson was featured in “Historic Happenings” in our October 2010 Visual Arts issue.

Artist statement: “I love to paint winter scenes because the snow changes everything. It presents a totally different view of a scene than summer. Snow softens the landscape and reflects the light in an absolutely different manner. It adds a sense of peace and tranquility to paintings which is what I often try to convey in my paintings.”
