’65 for 65′

On View January 23 – February 7, 2003 To celebrate her 65th birthday, artist Susan Phelps Pearson set herself the challenge of creating one new work each day for 65 days. She was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, who late in his life produced a painting a day for some 70 days. A well–known painter and assemblage maker, the Altoona, Wis., artist will exhibit her “65 for 65″ series. Included in the series are colored pencil drawings, chalk drawings and wire sculpture. The exhibit will also include representative assemblages and recent paintings. Pearson is currently writing and illustrating a book about Christmas in the 1940s inspired by old family photos and pleasant memories of family Christmases.
