Artists Reception – September Artists of the Month

September Artists of the Month – Chippewa Valley Watercolor Artists

Heyde Center For the Arts, 3 S High St, Chippewa Falls
Artist Reception: Friday, September 5 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. The Chippewa Valley Watercolor Artists are celebrating 20 years of painting and showing their work to the public. This group started in 1994 as a result of Janet Carson’s “On Location Watercolor Class” with seven people and has since grown to over thirty members. The Watercolorists meet the first Wednesday of each month at Beaver Creek Reserve, Hwy K, north of Fall Creek. At our meetings we paint, critique, share information and learn from each other. As we create, we experience the joy as well as the frustration, and through it all we have a good time. All watercolor artists, beginning through advanced, are invited to join. For more information, talk to any member, call Jan at 715-874-5870 or e-mail, kippenjp@wwt.net

Splash and All: paintings on plastic wrap by Constance Denchy Constance Denchy was born in West Hampton Beach, Long Island NY. She graduated with a BFA from the the University of the Arts in 1987 with a series of paintings called Infant Images that by 1996 became a fellowship award winning series, from the Delaware Division of the Arts, called Infant Equations. Since that time, she has exhibited in several states and in Japan. In 2008, Ms Denchy became a PCA AiE State Roster Artist, which allowed her to continue developing her Infant Equations Theory, while also creating proactive collaborative community projects in over 55 site venues since 2008. More recently, since March of 2010, Ms. Denchy made a solo debut of her Infant Equations using a technique she calls: “a clear wrap” using cling wrap as canvas.
