Art Exhibition – Brushstrokes: Jan Butler, Jill Stromberg & Sue Vautravers – Now through Dec. 5th

“Brushstrokes” showcases Kansas artists and friends, Jan Butler, Jill Stromberg & Sue Vautravers. This bright, colorful show will dazzle you with its vibrant watercolors, batiks and oil paintings. See the joy reflected in their flowers, landscapes and the world around us.
Jan Butler: “My paintings reflect a love for nature and gardening. Colorful flowers are a joy to recreate in watercolor. A number of my works are rendered using a batik technique using wax, watercolor and ink on rice paper. I try to capture sunlight and color in a realistic manner.”
Jill Stromberg: “After years of creating art, I came to the conclusion that painting is an expression of hopefulness. I gravitate towards subjects of simple beauty exhibiting the contrast of light and dark. I strive to exaggerate the light and color intensity and the finished product is my attempt to convey the lightness of life and beauty of nature.”
Sue Vautravers: “I love creating paintings that look vibrant and exciting. I tend to paint florals and am always photographing subjects that tell a story with an emphasis on light and shadow. I work mostly in oil and have done some pastel paintings too. Painting is a true joy in my life.”
