Anita (Katie) Baedke-Plucker Artwork
by Anita My watercolor paintings and colored pencil drawings reflect my life in the upper Midwest - rural landscapes, florals, architecture indicative to this area (simple porches and barns to ornate Victorian structures). However, recent trips to the beautiful Rocky Mountains have greatly inspired me. This 'flatlander' has fallen in love with the mountains and they continue to be the subject of my most recent work. My approach to my artwork is realistic and my style ranges from loose flowing brushstrokes to tightly controlled detail. I paint, first of all, for my own enjoyment and expression. If anyone enjoys my work, that is an added bonus for me. I look for spatial relationships within my subject matter. I love surface texture, varied lines, negative spaces and the effects color can exude with a piece. I am always striving to experiment, learn more and to promote the arts. |

Art Studio I photograph Iowa barns and then paint watercolor miniatures of them. Next they are framed in authentic Iowa barn wood. The frames are unique with wood triangles in each corner and outside standup edges. The result is a special 7"x9" framed painting of a fast disappearing part of Iowa history |

Studio I reside in Estherville, Iowa. I enjoy painting in several mediums, Watercolors, colored pencils, and Scratchboard drawings. My paintings are images of nature, landscapes of Iowa, including local and Okoboji scenes. Also paintings of the Roseman Bridge in Winterset, Iowa, where I was born. I attend Art shows and exhibits every year. Pursuing a career in Art has been very rewarding, and has enriched my life tremendously. The highlight of my career was receiving 'Best of Show' for my Art. I also have a career in "First Day of Issue" covers, which is a art form painted on envelopes. |

Theresa Lugo 9246 E Morning Star Place My background is in apparel design and fashion illustration. I enjoy experimenting with mixed media, and have a passion for exaggerated and arbitrary texture and color. Painting from photographs so as not to lose realistic detail in contrast with color unrestrained by reality. Portraits of my children and family express the quirky nature of the individual portrayed. My paintings of houses are similar to portraits, and express my feelings about life and the people who live inside of them. paintings are a mystery waiting for revelation. An absorbing process evolving into the final image, and the importance of realizing when you have found it. |
