Rebecca Venn’s Secret Gardens . . .

“Be Exposed!” is proud to announce that award-winning visual artist Rebecca Venn will be among the featured artists at their debut show. Rebecca was born in Owensboro, Kentucky. She graduated with a BA from Brescia College, Owensboro, Kentucky in 1969, and concluded early in her studies that the human figure was her primary interest. As her undergraduate education offered little in this area, she undertook a long period of self-directed study in figurative drawing and painting. Ms. Venn has taught life studio at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and various life drawing workshops. She is a member of Wisconsin Visual Artists, MARN, AHA! and is represented at Artists’ Gallery, Racine, Wisconsin, Seebeck Gallery, Kenosha, Wisconsin, and The Norman Lasiter Gallery in Palm Springs California; her work is included in a number of private collections. Her studio is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Most recently, her work is being showcased at Carolyn’s Coffee Connection as part of the “Secret Gardens” exhibition.

The “Be Exposed!” performance series is a new free monthly event, shining a spotlight on creative people from our own city and beyond. The founders hold a common belief that art and creativity in all of its forms should be easily accessible to everyone. They hope that the series will serve to celebrate the power of creativity and a shared love of the arts. Shows will be held every third Friday of the month, and begin at 7 p.m. at Carolyn’s Coffee Connection. They are free and open to the public. The first show will be held on Friday, February 19th. Please mark your calendars and join us as we celebrate the start of this new series!
