Artist Statement: I am an artist living and working in the Rivertowns. In my creative pursuits, I’ve always found myself split between the two disciplines of photography and mixed media. My photographic images reflect the light, forms, and textures of world around me.  They have been my eye looking outward. My mixed media work, on the other hand, has been my eye looking inward, a means of visual storytelling, and a vehicle for expressing my personal philosophy.

Salon Sundays | In-studio

Explore Art in the Rivertowns this Spring with RiverArts’ Salon Sundays. Salon Sundays invite visitors to tour local artists’ studios and gain an inside view of their work and inspiration. An exciting opportunity to gain insights into the creative process, learn about techniques in a variety of media and interact with artists here in the Rivertowns community.

In April, May and June, Salon Sundays will be in-person.

Salon Sundays are inspired by the French salons founded in the 18th century as a means for new and emerging artists to gather and show their works in large numbers. Artists filled the walls, floor to ceiling, exhibiting anything and everything for the public and each other. Salons drew intellectuals, writers, poets, sculptors, painters, printmakers, supporters, and those interested in engaging with the creative community.

“We strongly encourage anyone attending a Salon Sunday to come with their curiosity peaked, ask questions, and learn who’s who in the local art community. It’s powerful to interact with artists in their space. We’re hoping this event will increase community involvement and provide a chance to meet one-on-one with area artists and experience art up close.” Jeff Dietz, Producer, Salon Sundays.
