Titled “Unlikely Pairs”, the show features artists Rosalie Beck and Kim Vaughter. The exhibit runs Sept. 16 through Oct. 23., with an opening reception Friday, Sept. 16 from 5 PM to 7 PM.

Vaughter’s work includes acrylic paintings and fabric sculptures. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a BFA in painting and art history, and just recently completed her second degree in graphic design. She now resides in La Crosse, Wis.

Beck’s work includes a series of still life oil paintings. She has an MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and currently resides in Milwaukee, where she teaches at the university and the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.

Together, the two artist’s work is complementary yet contradictory; a mixture of the traditional and contemporary, still life and movement, reality and imagination.

Gallery hours are Tuesday – Friday 11 AM to 5 PM., and Saturday and Sunday 11 AM to 3 PM.
