Currently on Exhibit: 'Neurofibromatosis: A Portrait of Nebraska & the Midwest' by Rachel Mindrup

Join us in January as we welcome Rachel Mindrup back to Gallery 92 West. In 2024, Rachel served as the judge for our ANAC Selection Show. Her personal artwork caught the attention of our FAAA members, and we are delighted to have her share her talent with us once again. Rachel Mindrup is an Associate Professor of Drawing and Painting and the Richard L. Deming, MD Endowed Chair in Medical Humanities at Creighton University. She received her BFA from the University of Nebraska - Kearney and then continued with atelier studies at the Art Academy of Los Angeles. She received her MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. Her current painting practice is about the study of the figure and portraiture in art and its relation to medicine, healing and identity. Her son's diagnosis has been the motivation behind her series of portraits, "Many Faces of Neurofibromatosis (NF)". She is currently painting someone with NF from all 50 states to bring to Washington D.C. when advocating for federal funding for NF research. Mindrup's work has been shown nationally and internationally, and her artwork is held in many private collections including those of primatologist Jane Goodall and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

About the Gallery

The Barbara Tellatin Gallery is lovingly named after longtime FAAA Member and Fremont artist and art teacher Barbara Tellatin. Barbara's husband purchased the naming rights to this space for the 2024 calendar year to honor her memory in the building and with the organization that she loved so much. Being the center of the guests' gathering at receptions and luncheons makes this gallery a favorite among exhibiting artists.

Currently on Exhibit: 'Lamplight & Yarn' by Marcia Musson

Marcia Musson is a native of South Dakota and started teaching at the age of 21. During Marcia's career she taught at a variety of public and private schools throughout Nebraska until 2021. This Lamplight series began during the Covid pandemic and has continued to this year. Marcia has always been impressed by the beauty and luminosity of stained glass and hopes that her paintings convey the warmth and beauty of glass. Some paintings feature items that she has collected throughout the years - amber beads, trade beads, a small wooden box, lovely pottery by fellow FAAA artist Becky Kinloch, and a jar full of antique items from her husband's family collection. The primary medium of this show is watercolor - except for two pieces, one created in acrylics and one in colored pencil. The Afghans on display were created with an eye for color rather than pattern. They were inspired by season, location or experience and showcase a variety of yarns.

This collection of photographs from all 93 counties in Nebraska highlights historic places and often-overlooked historical treasures. The exhibit is a compilation of work from photographers across Nebraska that highlights locations on the National Register of Historic Places or is of personal or community significance. The "Bridges" photography exhibit was created in partnership between the former Hildegard Center for the Arts, Nebraska Tourism Commission and Nebraska State Historical Society, in preparation for the states 150th birthday in 2017. Each piece is panel mounted, 11.75" X 17.75", and includes a narrative from the artist about the location. The show also includes a digital presentation of all pieces that can be scrolled during an exhibition.

Cost: $1,000, plus shipping
