OPEN STUDIOS: " 4 Points of Light Open Studios" @ Evansville Area Studios

  • Evansville Area Studios (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

FEE: Free - the Public is Welcome!

Evansville artists put “Four Points of Light” on the map, and open their studios to the public on June 20 and 21, 10am -5pm.

The public is invited to the studios of four Evansville artists this month. 
The four accomplished artists, working from three studios within just a few minutes of each other, will concurrently open their studios on the weekend of June 20 and 21.  Open Studio hours will be from 10 am to 5 pm each day.  As one might expect, with four unique artists visitors will find a variety of visual art. 

Calvin deRuyter paints landscapes and abstracts that appeal to two different audiences.   Sometimes he is accused of painting two different paintings on the same sheet of paper – but in reality, he is painting his truth, the ying-yang that is deRuyter. 

Lyssa Lovejoy is a painter who explores diverse art forms, in series of images that share a story-telling theme.  Regardless of the medium or subject, Lyssa’s ultimate goal is to allow each piece to tell its own story.

Jackie Henning taps into her extensive background in both photography and faux finishing to create intricate mixed media images.  Jackie’s works incorporate elements of photography, painting, found objects and created textural elements.

Stephen Henning is a landscape painter working in both traditional and experimental impressionist styles. Inspired by Nature, he strives to create soothing  images that take viewers far from the madding crowd.

Studio locations and phone numbers are:
Calvin DeRuyter:  18541 County Road 1 NW, Evansville 56326, 763-486-5862

Jackie and Stephen Henning:  22399-A Oak Hill Road NW, Evansville 56326, 218-948-2288

Lyssa Lovejoy:  508 N Gran Street, Evansville 56326, 763-516-7219
