Artist Statement- My artwork is a creative expression of my many processes of mixed media, paint, and beading. This piece was inspired by Japanese artist Yayoi Kasama. I love texture and color. I believe art has the possibilities of changing one’s thoughts, opening new ideas; It is how we share our thoughts and ideas and is an unpredictable source of imagination!

I have been involved in, and with, the arts in some manner for over 40 years. I am involved with Artspace Suite 1 Gallery in Minot.

Donna Chalimonczyk: Moorhead, MN “Woodland Carpet” size 16″ x 20″ watercolor

Bio: I began painting in 1998 and have attended workshops by area and national artists. My goal is to see the world around me and translate it into a painting to enjoy.

I paint mostly with watermedi and exhibit throughout the tri-state. My work can be found in collections throughout the United States.

Statement: When a painting “just happens” through action of water and paint on paper – it’s an exciting experience. I am always surprised by the way the painting evolves and becomes. Whether I achieve my mind’s picture isn’t all that important. And, if not – that can be another painting experience. What joy!

Laura VonBank: Moorhead, MN. “Marbled Dragonfly and Marbled Monarch” Linocut prints on marbled paper, size 16”x13” each

Art statement: Since I am primarily a self-taught artist, I have not been hindered by rules during my creative process. Over the years I have dabbled in a variety of media but gravitate to print making and encaustics since they “tick all the boxes” with their endless possibilities. Nature and rural life inspire much of my work.

Laura VonBank: Moorhead, MN. “Rooster and Mother Hen” size 18″ x 15″ for each Encaustic on paper

Bio: In 2016 I became a member of the FM Visual Artists. Since then, I have participated in over 25 regional group exhibitions. I have won multiple awards and have had pieces accepted in juried shows at the Plains Art Museum and galleries in Vermont and Arkansas. More of my work can be seen at Gallery 4 in Fargo.
Art statement: Since I am primarily a self-taught artist, I have not been hindered by rules during my creative process. Over the years I have dabbled in a variety of media but gravitate to print making and encaustics since they “tick all the boxes” with their endless possibilities. Nature and rural life inspire much of my work. lauravonbank@hotmail.com

Sue Morrissey: Fargo, ND. “My dog” size 13” x 13” linoleum print

‘One who draws’ didn’t translate into artist for me, so when I needed to declare a field of study my Jr. Year @ NDSU, I was quite taken aback when my mother advised I study ‘Art’. NDSU did not have an ‘Art Dept.’ per se in 1963, therefore I transferred to UND. When I went through registration, I met Robert Nelson, a printmaker/painter of some renown, I would later learn. My curriculum was rather skewed with only a design class and an architecture class to my credit from SU; for the next two years, the Art classes in the dilapidated old presidents’ home, and a language class were my prime focus; the boyfriend was far enough away not to distract.
Robert Nelson was highly skilled, imaginative and theatrical artist and teacher. He was a role model easily accessed, it was THEN the idea of myself as an artist took hold. His work was and is filled with heroic, humorous and somewhat surreal content…his figures were often clothed in armor. He’s in his 90’s now, still working in OR. I wanted profound imagery such as I saw in his work but I saw no heroic experiences in my own life to inspire, so my imagery mimicked his. I came to realize how the gestures of his characters contributed to their heroism; there may yet be a remnant of that realization remaining in my drawings. Now however, I find heroic figures every which way I turn.

LuAnn Brooks: Kloten, ND. “The Flower Trio” size 12″ x 15″ photography

I have worked for Nelson County Health System for 26 years in the Activity Department. My husband, Jerry, and I have a cattle ranch near Kloten, ND. I am looking forward to retirement to pursue more artistic interests.

The flowers were photographed at the Munsinger Clements Gardens along the Mississippi River in St. Cloud, MN. I highly recommend these beautiful gardens as a weekend destination!

Donna Chalimonczyk: Moorhead, MN “Sun Will Rise” size 16″ x 20″ watercolor

Bio: I began painting in 1998 and have attended workshops by area and national artists. My goal is to see the world around me and translate it into a painting to enjoy. I paint mostly with watermedi and exhibit throughout the tri-state. My work can be found in collections throughout the United States.
Statement: When a painting “just happens” through action of water and paint on paper – it’s an exciting experience. I am always surprised by the way the painting evolves and becomes. Whether I achieve my mind’s picture isn’t all that important. And, if not – that can be another painting experience. What joy!
