Winona Impressions – Winona Expressions by Joan Porter-Einsman
Joan was an Art Instructor at the University of Minnesota and several other colleges and Art Centers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She is an active Art exhibitor in the United States, Canada, and Europe. History, personal experiences, and nature inspire Joan’s work. Joan uses ink, watercolor, acrylic, and often mixed media.
April 29 – June 12
Rock and Roll to Realism by Kathy Kovala
Opening Reception on April 29, 4 – 6 p.m.
Kathy has a genuine passion for painting with watercolor. She likes adventure and the medium of watercolor provides that ongoing challenge – even the name of the show refers to her unique technique of painting. She loves to create paintings that evoke a response to viewers, similar to those that have inspired her.
