"Journeys & Convergence," by Denise Elizabeth Stone, Jan Clark, and Linda M. Peterson October 2026
An abundance of mixed media works chronicling decades of the individual artistic journeys and creative convergence of three distinctive artists from La Grande, Oregon comes to Crossroads the month of October. Jan, Linda, and Denise, along with the late Sue Orlaske, initially gathered in 2008 to learn batik watercolor methods. Together they developed techniques to extend their range of possibilities. Each artist's work is influenced and enhanced by their collaboritive endeavors. Themes of nature, color, exploration, and storytelling unify the collection, bringing the individual strands of skill, vision, and technique into a cohesive statement of artistic expression.
