2019 NORTHWEST MICHIGAN REGIONAL JURIED EXHIBITION
FEBRUARY 3 - MAY 5, 2019
We are excited to share that several NAA artists have artwork on display in the Dennos 2019 Northwest Michigan Regional Juried Exhibition. The artwork of Denice Goldschmidt, Marjorie Farrell, Michelle Jahraus, Linda Alice Dewey and Cal Kemppainen is shown below. Lori Feldpausch is also in the exhibit.
The Dennos Museum Center invites artists in Northwest Michigan to submit up to two works to be juried for exhibition in the 2019 Northwest Michigan Regional Juried Exhibition. Held regularly at the Museum for 27 years, the exhibition features art made by local artists over the last year, juried by a regional arts professional. This year’s esteemed juror is James A. Bridenstine, former Director of the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

FRIDA KAHLO’S SUNHAT
Assemblage/collage. Found object wood folk art chair, fabric, ribbon, acrylics, handmade vintage wire ribbon flowers, vintage sunhat.
Fiber, in its varied forms, has been a life long expressive medium for me as an artist. I love its texture and color. When I am using items from my mother's or grandmother's sewing baskets, it is also filled with memories from decades past.

BOOTLEG
It is from a still life I had for the last NAA painting class last summer. Those boots have had some walk'in... and I have used them for many drawing and painting classes over the years! I entered it in the juried Dennos show, really thinking it would not get in, but I guess those boots and Victor's jeans couldn't help but walk in! Actually, I am pleased they made it in the show.

LEELANAU’S RESOURCES
In the mid-1990s, I was in Leelanau for the summer, exploring Schaumburg Road on a beautiful July day, when I came upon this gorgeous scene. At the time, I was selling my photographs, matted, in several shops around the county, so I was equipped with my camera. I stopped to take a shot, and the farmer rode his combine (I think that’s what it is—I’m not a farmer!), up to me. He got down from it, came over, and we chatted. He was nice enough to sign the Model Release I fortunately carried with me. It was Ed Kalchick. When I moved here as a year-round resident in 1999, that name would become familiar to me. I painted this from that photo a year ago and named the piece “Leelanau’s Resources.” I think it shows them all. The piece is not large, just 9 x 12, and I have it listed at $350, retail. It is pastel on artists’ sandpaper, my favorite medium.
