About the Artist
Bonnie Lee
My first commission, at twelve years old, was a lithograph of my home town church.
That being an inspiration, I moved on and attended Minneapolis Art Institute.
As the years have gone by I have attended many workshops presented by Rose Edin,
Ellen Jean Detterich, Karlyn Holman to name a few.
I have been appointed to Austin Area Art Center Board of Directors in 2009
I received the City Purchase Award in 2010,
I was appointed as a liaison to the Paramount Theater Board of Directors and Austin Area art Center.
I have received many ribbons through the years. I was the winning recipient for the Historic Hormel House contest. This brings joy to the art of creating.
I enjoy expressing myself in many mediums, including watercolor, oils, acrylic, charcoal, penciland pastels. I still find watercolor my most interesting challenge. Each day is a new inspiration.

About the Artist
Barb Cafourek
Barb is a self - taught artist who works in a variety of mediums, her favorite being pottery and jewelry making. She also loves working with acrylic and watercolor paints. In almost every instance, her art is inspired by her love of nature and the outdoors. She tends to like working with a more earth - tone palate, and loves the cool blues of water and sky. Even in her jewelry making, she leans more towards natural materials like stone, copper and silver. She loves to work with her hands and "feels at peace with the world" when she is "in the zone". She also feels less frustration when she picks up her hammer and forges a piece of copper into a piece of wearable art. When she sits down to her pottery wheel, she virtually becomes one with the clay. She finds it theraputic and calming to the spirit. The learning process is forever ongoing, and will never become routine. There's way too much yet to be discovered.
