The latest exhibit at Gallery 223 in Lake Geneva is the Late Spring Show that features artworks by artist members of the Geneva Lake Arts Foundation.
The display opened April 17 and continues through June 1. Included in the exhibit are such media as painting, drawing, photography, pottery, glass, jewelry, sculpture, mixed media, weaving, fiber, and wood.
Sharon Larson exhibits her painting titled “Lilac Bouquet” that depicts lilacs in a vase.
Kerstin Alischoewski displays her painting titled “Sail Away.” The scene is of Lake Barrington Shores in Illinois.
One of GLAF’s artist members is Sharon Larson of Lake Geneva, a founding member who has shown many times and taught numerous classes at the gallery. She works in watercolor, oil, and pastel. Sharon has pursued art all her life, “but the last 35 years I've been working seriously at it,” she said, noting she has taken workshops and has sold many pieces. “The best part of art is being able to express the feeling I have when I see something beautiful or interesting. I just want to paint that.”
Kerstin Alischoewski of Evanston, Ill., also an exhibiting artist, has been making art 50 years, starting with drawing and then switching to watercolor. Her current medium is oil in the Impressionistic style with Renaissance influences. “I like oil best because I can put more paint on a picture, and that makes it glow,” Kerstin said. “I like painting outdoors.” She joined the foundation this month and is active in painting groups and shows in the Chicago area.
