Watercolor Exhibit opens at the Arts Alliance Gallery

 An exhibit of watercolor paintings by 10 artists began at the Arts Alliance Gallery on Wednesday and will continue through April 10.

The artists are Jim Anderson of Monticello, Duane Barnhart of Aitkin, Cherene Bebeau of Princeton, Kathy Braud of Little Falls, Henry Johanson of Elk River, Eleanor Johnson of Big Lake, Judy Meyeraan of Big Lake, Kim Pietrzak of Big Lake, Mary Steinson of St. Paul and Chris Wilson of Elk River.

Florals, landscapes and portraits are on display —and something new. Anderson uses watercolor paints in a special technique he calls “cementious” to create furniture and wall art. Impossible to explain, it must be seen.

A reception for the public to meet the artists is set for Saturday, March 27, 2 to 5 p.m. at the gallery, 716 Main St. Gallery hours are Wednesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
