Above the Din
Growing up in California, William Barnes attended UCLA before studying painting at Drake with Jules Kirschenbaum. He then studied with Byron Burford in Iowa City, whose course in materials and techniques introduced him to egg tempera and casein, his major media since. Soon after his Iowa City period, signs appeared of what has become Barnes' signature style - landscapes noted for their "loneliness" by a local critic alternated with still-life studies of odd combinations of small objects. Recently, after sojourns in Tucson and Santa Fe, Barnes is bringing a warmer, more relaxed ambience to his exotic works.
Krogstad, an Iowa native who now lives near Minneapolis, paints the Midwestern landscape, concentrating on the region's skies, rivers, lakes, and …strong, honest farm buildings. He is particularly drawn to skies, as is evident from the sometimes threatening, sometimes wispy clouds that dominate many of his paintings. Richard sees painting as a way of preserving the pastoral landscape. He writes, …Perhaps what is left can be considered worth saving, if it is seen with new eyes.

Abstract 3
Rachel says this about her work:"Everything I use in my work I have purchased at local thrift stores or found at abandoned houses through out the years. The images in my pieces do not belong to me, they are artifacts of others' lives. I have always been drawn to personal objects left behind for public viewing. There is a sense of voyeurism and nostalgia in finding such things. I find others knickknacks to be precious and haunting. In certain ways, I want to project my self onto them. I am compelled to understand why such things are kept, and why eventually they are given up. I am a collector who collects other people's memories, although memory lacks certainty. When we leave, or move, or just clean out our lives, we leave things behind. I love nostalgia and the way it tricks you."

Assemblage made of indigo-pigmented catalog cards, flax cord, silk thread, and cherry wood.
I am stirred by the relationship between a card’s title and subject as it demonstrates the interconnectedness of ideas. The cards become symbols of our beliefs and intentions, and the inner journeys we take when we release ourselves into the world of paper and words.
I am interested in the dialectic between meaningful silence and the suffering in unintentional speech. The subject cards from a variety of titles allowed me to explore these concepts and the unexpected relationships between them. Actias luna, the luna moth, bears no mouth and yet speaks its wisdom to us by way of quiet flight; it communicates and navigates by way of scent and intuition.
The moth wings and back canvas are made entirely of cards, pigmented with indigo; the moth body of flax cord and silk thread. The box is crafted of naturally weathered cherry wood.

Dan received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. His work has been seen in exhibitions in Des Moines and Minneapolis and can be found in several private collections. New American Paintings featured his work in the 2000 Midwest Edition.
A Des Moines native, Dan creates lush monoprint landscapes. Using a subdued palette consisting mostly of various shades of green, he depicts river and pond banks lined with rocks, tranquil bodies of water, and towering trees. Each work radiates a certain sense of serenity and harmony within nature.<br>Dan says of his work,"I am a firm believer in the study and reflection on the work of the masters so as to build upon a firm foundation. In my own work I strive for balance and harmony coupled with past and present ideas regardless of the subject matter."
