New Art Exhibit Opening Saturday in Anaba Tea Room

Madison artist Sandra Peterson will open her new art exhibition “Oil on Tea Bag & Oil on Canvas” Saturday night at 5 at Shorewood’s Anaba Tea Room, 2107 E. Capitol Dr.

Peterson is interested in a background that interposes with foreground simulating that we, somehow, are all interconnected on many levels and themes in our lives and in our world.

She asks if “mark making” is the language of painting in its basic form, how can the most constructive mark come from a place of truthfulness from within?  It is this question that directs her through her painting.

With a master’s of fine arts from the University of Wisconsin, Peterson’s work was recently displayed at the Wausau Festival of Arts (2011, Best of Show Winner) and Kaleidoscope Gallery in 2010.

Peterson maintains a working studio in an 1874 historical building in rural Wisconsin.

Her show will run until July 1. For more information contact Sandra at speterson@yousq.net
