We’ve got new art hanging on our walls from Kate Olsen Birner! Their work will be showcased here at Giant Jones through 9/14.
Kate is a visual artist based in southwestern Wisconsin. Their skills and specialties include, but are not limited to: portraits, painting, bottle cap mosaics, collage, mixed media and large-scale work.
They have been a working artist since college and an art educator for 35 years.
Their use of color and pattern is heavily influenced by the pre-Columbian and Native Peruvian (Quechua) artwork to which they were exposed as a child.
Stop by to meet the artist and check out their show “Courage”. There will also be live music from SoaringTortoise!
“I’m an old man, and putting together a show of my work feels a little ominous. Will this be my final public statement? Can I say, or play, everything I want to in this small show at a brew pub? Not likely, but the temptation to try is there.”
Showing – 6/24-8/2
Closing Reception 8/2 5pm-9pm; meet the artist AND enjoy music from local musicians who support the artist from 7pm-8pm.
