Country Rising Exhibition April 20 - May 27, 2012

Living in the country and sharing your life with rich nature, farms and friends can feel like a blessing come true.  For David Kocka and Rita Koerber it is where they found common ground in their shared passion for the beautiful farms and land surrounding them.  As artists it became a natural progression to find a way that this passion could be expressed collaboratively.

 

Our spring showing at the Artisan Center is a reinvented landscape of bronze and fabric.  Incorporating texture, color and all the whimsy nature can inspire in us.  We hope that this view into our country roots inspires fresh joy in you too.
