Watercolors by Ellen Reher
DATE: Ellen Reyher's art at the
center from 1/12/12 to 4/13/12.
The sensuous quality of ripe fruit and vegetables, flowers in bloom and our exciting landscape provide subjects for my recent work in acrylic paintings and pastel drawings.
My goal is to transform what I see and feel to create a new image possessing energy all its own. The drawing and painting process is much like the experience of free dancing wherein each moment of creative involvement presents new possibilities for responses. The absorbing process of seeing drawing and painting becomes a joyful meditation. The thread of continuity running through my work expresses a synthesis of the sensual with the spiritual whether the work is realistic, abstract or symbolic.
Artist’s Background
- Exhibiting artist and K-12 educator for 30 years
- Earned an MFA in sculpture from UW-Milwaukee
- BFA in ceramics from UW-Milwaukee
- K-12 certification in Art Education
- Post-graduate work in animated film-making
- Extensive travel-Us, Canada, South America, Indonesia, Europe
I retired from teaching in 2004 and moved to the Kickapoo
Valley with my husband Mike and our two mothers. We’ve a
beautiful two-story art studio where I create pastel drawings,
acrylic paintings, photography, watercolors, beaded jewelry,
and ceramic sculpture.
I wish to thank my husband Mike Wallace for encouraging and assisting me for the past 28 years. He has patiently photographed, printed, promoted, hung, critiqued and lugged my work for numerous exhibits. Mike passed away this year but his legacy of encouragement and support for the arts lives on through my work.
