Dundee Middle School Winter Art Show
“Students are very excited about the opportunity to show their work outside of the school. They are enthusiastic about displaying their artwork within DMS, but take extra pride in the opportunity to show their artwork in the community,” said Shadel.
All art is located on the main level of the library. The Ruth Wendt Gallery showcases a collection of paintings including self-portraits, while the shelves in the biographies section hold ceramic sculptures.
January 2010 Art Display by Nannette Turetgen of Gilberts
Take a break from the biting wind and snow and stroll down the Ruth M. Wendt Gallery Hall at the Library. Tropical breezes, swaying palm trees, and crashing waves await as you are transported to Hawaii via the paintings of artist Nannette Turetgen of Gilberts. Turetgen’s current work is done in watercolors, and those selected for this collection showcase the natural landscapes of one of the world’s most beautiful places with bright colors, playful lines, and tranquil vistas.
All were painted “en plein air.” All are original works, not prints, done on-site at the actual scene of the painting, as the wind is blowing, waves are splashing, and the sun is changing.
“I like the excitement of playing with the colors. It is a challenge. One little touch can mean something, and once it’s there, you can’t change it. I strive to incorporate my love of dance and movement, color, and the world’s beauty,” said Turetgen.
The Turetgen paintings in the Ruth M. Wendt Gallery can be purchased through the artist for $30 each. To contact her, call (847) 888-2344 or send an email.
