Rhonda Willers of Eau Claire, WI - Mixed Media
Originally from Star Prairie, WI, Rhonda currently works as a studio artist with studio space in Banbury Place located in downtown Eau Claire, WI.
A poetic power manifests itself in silence. Strength and subtlety intertwine during our encounters with the cotemplative. Using these deafeningly subdued experiences, she seeks to promote metaphoric and physical relationships with her ceramic vessels, drawings and mixed media sculptures.

July 10 - September 8
Jodi Reeb Myers of Minneapolis, MN - Mixed Media
"Through nature-based patterns and textures, I try to depict my understanding of how the whole is reflected in the structure of the part. An example of this is how leaves are a map for trees where they came from. I layer paint and texture to describe the process of nature. This process of change and transformation is supported by integrating many different media such as acrylic paint, collage and printmaking."

Kathy Wismar of Minneapolis, MN - pottery
"To be an artist is to live through your work.
It involves more than simply "making things." It is creating a balance between form and function.
It is a fiery mixture of seeing what is not yet real and working to make it happen …
of wishing the clay could understand your dreams, your hopes … and your frustrations.
It is working until the ache in your muscles does pitched battle with the flights of your
imagination, and you have no choice but to continue until there is resolution …
no matter how fleeting that moment may be or what time it is on the clock."
