ArtWorks celebrated it’s second successful opening in the new art gallery with the debut of “Vivid” Saturday evening. The four featured artists, Diane Levesque, Lisa Bigalke, Meade O’Neill, and Benjamin D. Rinehart, displayed their uniqueness and their shared love of strong color.

VIVA VIAGRA . . .
April 27th, 2008 — Kenosha Writers' Group, Writer, ExposeKenosha
by Bill Schroeder
Have you seen the commercial of a man’s band; guitar, drums, banjos, etc.? They are playing, singing happily and in general acting silly about Viagra? Saying– Viva Viagra.
Ain’t gonna happen, never will . . .
I’ll tell you what a guy may be thinking. Of course based not on personal experience, but what other fellows have told me in confidence. Usually they aren’t going to join a band and sing about ED and they aren’t going to share this fact with friend or foe, not with co-worker or neighbor. Continue reading →
Kathy Laybourn’s one woman show at the Pollard Gallery . . .
April 27th, 2008 — EK31, Downtown Kenosha, Exhibit, ExposeKenosha, Visual Artist
by Joe Barr
Kathy Laybourn’s one woman show at the Pollard Gallery will be featuring a relatively new technique for her, encaustic painting.
Encaustic is an ancient technique used as far back as the Egyptians. Traditionally, oil paint is combined with a beeswax mixture and applied to either a canvas or board support. Then, the mixture is heated, in this case, with a heat gun. The paint is applied in layers as in more traditional painting techniques. The interesting thing about this approach is the lack of complete control one has over the way in which the media responds to the heating process.
Bring friends, meet Kathy, and enjoy her and her art at her Friday, May 2, opening. Continue reading →
