Van Norman is referring to the exhibit running similarly at both Anderson O’Brien locations, Small Works/Small Gifts, featuring new, large work from more than 20 area artists, complimented by smaller, more affordable pieces by the same. The Countryside Village location is showcasing textured oil paintings of Sharon Booma, sensory abstract paintings of Susan Puelz, intimate mixed medias of Signe Stuart to name a few. The Old Market location features rich geometric paintings of Steve Joy, imaginative color woodcuts of Karen Kunc, minimalist prints of Thomas Prinz, who will exhibit solo in January, and many more. Many of the artists have work at both locations but no piece is the same, and all of the large works are new, never previously exhibited. Other medium to be displayed includes ceramics, jewelry and photography.
