SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON AUGUST 21ST 5-8PM
When Kurt was a kid, he wanted to be a rockstar, so he started writing music. In 1994 Kurt put together a band called bicycle. The band released an album on Capricorn records that made it onto the list of the Huffington Post's most underrated albums of the 1990s. In 2001 he broke up the band and started painting. Kurt really loves being a painter. He gets to be creative the whole time while doing it. When you’re writing songs you get to be really creative at first, but after that initial burst you have to rehearse your songs over and over again so you can play them exactly the same way night after night. Forever. Painting is so much different than writing songs. Painters don’t ever have to paint the same painting twice. No drunk Italian has ever yelled at a painter to. “Paint it again Leonardo! Do the Mona Lisa!” Visual artists paint it once and then if they’re lucky enough to sell their art, they never have to see it again as long as they live.

His work has drawn intense interest for its heightened color and sensitive use of light to evoke both drama and tranquility in the mind of the viewer.

Soaring Heart Natural Bedding // Jan Powers
111 Main St, open Tuesday - Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday noon-5pm
SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON AUGUST 21ST 5-8PM
Jan Powers is a watercolor artist who possesses a whimsical flair. She enjoys implementing fantasy into the realm of reality. Allowing a mysticism that leaves one to wonder...can it be?
Not really certain in the beginning why she chose the medium of watercolor. She quickly discovered its unique characteristics and embraced them. One of those being, that with watercolor, the paper is the light. The places of light that the viewer sees in a watercolor painting are thought out by the artist before any paint ever touches the paper.
Watercolor, unlike other mediums, takes on a life of its own. The pigment will only go where the water takes it. And left on its own, creates subtleties and nuances that can only occur through the natural process of just being left to work its magic. The transparency of watercolor offers the ability to bring light and enchantment in ways not found in other mediums.
As of late, her artistic abilities are venturing onto yet another path. The art of sewing! She had been wanting a quilted robe for herself and could not find what she had envisioned. So, she made herself one! That project has acknowledged a life of its own. One she is very excited about!
Her artist gifts offer a voice of communication she refers to as an alternate language. Unspoken, but communicating her inner self nonetheless. Often, better than words.
