GAIL CHAVENELLE

Gail likes to call her metal artwork "Permanent Paper." Creating three-dimensional images from a flat sheet by folding and bending, she explores the metal's kinetic movement. Whether it is stainless steel or rusted metal, for over 20 years she has celebrated, given thanks, mourned, laughed and sung with her artwork. Most recently Gail Chavenelle was awarded Best of Show for Dubuque's 2021-22 Art on the River with her ten foot "Resilient Generations."

DENISE MURPHY

I started alcohol ink painting a few years ago at the prompting of a fellow artist. I enjoy the vibrancy of the medium and allowing the medium to flow freely. I'm always experimenting with new techniques with this medium and stretching the viewer's imagination. I use recycled materials to get the textures and dimensions in my pieces. It is interesting and intriguing to watch the viewer try to look inside the paintings because of the textures and dimensions created. In some cases, giving the appearance of 3D.
