August 4^th Friday Featured Artist is Joy Frame! Joy Frame is our Featured Artist for August 28. The art reception will be at Out of the Box, 48^th and R Street between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. Joy has this to say about her art.

I have lived most of my life in Iowa and Nebraska.  I love our ever changing seasons.  We are blessed to have a variety of trees which change with the seasons.  I enjoy driving around to capture the fields, trees and flowers. I see painting opportunities all around me. My original work was in oils but after trying watercolor I was hooked!  I enjoy the rich and somewhat unpredictable color blending (happy accidents) in the wet-in-wet technique.  I am mostly self taught beginning when I retired from Methodist College.  I have been able to study with Rose Edin, Zoltan Szabo, Sheila Parsons, Karlyn Holman along with Ken Hosmer and Jim McClellan.  Each has contributed to my evolving style. I am an associate artist at Against the Wall and the Wildwood Gallery in Nebraska City. I have illustrated three Children’s books which were written by my grade school friend. I am a member of the Lincoln Artist guild and the Association of Nebraska Art Clubs .I currently live in Lincoln with my puppy Lily.  My studio is in my home.  I can be reached at 402.489.7543.
