Anita (Katie) Baedke-Plucker Artwork
by Anita My watercolor paintings and colored pencil drawings reflect my life in the upper Midwest - rural landscapes, florals, architecture indicative to this area (simple porches and barns to ornate Victorian structures). However, recent trips to the beautiful Rocky Mountains have greatly inspired me. This 'flatlander' has fallen in love with the mountains and they continue to be the subject of my most recent work. My approach to my artwork is realistic and my style ranges from loose flowing brushstrokes to tightly controlled detail. I paint, first of all, for my own enjoyment and expression. If anyone enjoys my work, that is an added bonus for me. I look for spatial relationships within my subject matter. I love surface texture, varied lines, negative spaces and the effects color can exude with a piece. I am always striving to experiment, learn more and to promote the arts. |

Woven Thoughts My cards are made with various threads, mostly metallic. I make the design pattern and then add a new dimensional personality with stitches. The card stock is high quality paper of either a polarized or moiré finish. The completion of each card takes from 1˝ - 3 hours. I have around 50 patterns and I'm continually working on new ones. |

Art Studio I photograph Iowa barns and then paint watercolor miniatures of them. Next they are framed in authentic Iowa barn wood. The frames are unique with wood triangles in each corner and outside standup edges. The result is a special 7"x9" framed painting of a fast disappearing part of Iowa history |

Second St. Watercolor just happens to be fun, it takes you where it wants to go. Each painting stretches me as an artist because of this - where will it take me next?! Always this challenge. And is still just fun. |

Marvel Houge Houge
Studio I reside in Estherville, Iowa. I enjoy painting in several mediums, Watercolors, colored pencils, and Scratchboard drawings. My paintings are images of nature, landscapes of Iowa, including local and Okoboji scenes. Also paintings of the Roseman Bridge in Winterset, Iowa, where I was born. I attend Art shows and exhibits every year. Pursuing a career in Art has been very rewarding, and has enriched my life tremendously. The highlight of my career was receiving 'Best of Show' for my Art. I also have a career in "First Day of Issue" covers, which is a art form painted on envelopes. |

Theresa Lugo 9246 E Morning Star Place My background is in apparel design and fashion illustration. I enjoy experimenting with mixed media, and have a passion for exaggerated and arbitrary texture and color. Painting from photographs so as not to lose realistic detail in contrast with color unrestrained by reality. Portraits of my children and family express the quirky nature of the individual portrayed. My paintings of houses are similar to portraits, and express my feelings about life and the people who live inside of them. paintings are a mystery waiting for revelation. An absorbing process evolving into the final image, and the importance of realizing when you have found it. |

4045 White Avenue The landscape is a favored subject in my photography, paintings and drawings. The photographic landscape is treated in large and medium formats; in paintings, and some drawings. I prefer a plein aire approach and these works are smaller in scale, while my work in serigraphy plays upon a more graphic approach of shape, color and tone. I have a deep personal interest in the natural heritage of our remaining Tallgrass Prairie, and much of my work over the past decade has been deeply influenced by this subject. I have spent the past decade in devoting time, energy, and my work in furthering and encouraging prairie reconstruction/restoration and education in Northwest Iowa. |

Phipps has raised five children, taught every grade level from three-year-olds to people in their 80's at the college level.
