From a Jentel press release:
New residents at Jentel Artist Residency Program in Banner have arrived, along with the dog days of summer. Jentel is pleased to present this month’s residents in an event open to the public. “Jentel Presents” will take place Tuesday, September 1, 5:30-7 p.m. at Sheridan County Fulmer Public Library Inner Circle. This month’s presenters include an oil painter, a non-fiction writer, a mixed media artist, a painter, a novelist, and a printmaker. “Jentel Presents” is a community outreach program that features visual presentations and readings by the visual artists and writers at the residency.
Presenters include: Diane Bywaters, Stevens Point, WI; An oil painter, Diane has participated in artist-in-residencies all over the world, not just painting the landscape – sometimes it’s the occasional bear or skunk, and other times, being in an Alaskan wilderness emergency giving herself stitches with needle and thread; Nancy Rawlinson, Brooklyn, NY; A memoir writer, Nancy is the daughter of English hippies, the granddaughter of two fantastic grandmothers who are both pushing ninety, and the great-great-great granddaughter of Charles Darwin; Joy Nagy, New York, NY; A mixed media artist, Joy’s greatest inspirations are nature, working as a teaching artist with New York City students, travel to new and familiar places…adventures, family and friends, and the New York City subway; Michael Andrew Caines, Brooklyn, NY; A painter, Michael seems to make religious art but he is not particularly religious. He has been obsessed with dogs in recent years and tends to look at them rather than people on the streets of New York. He eats too fast; Natania Rosenfeld, Galesburg, IL, A novelist, Natania grew up in a small town in Ohio but is really a city person and an avid traveler who’s spent time in Germany, and Israel, London and briefly – Poland and Lithuania; Sally Schuh, Seattle, WA; A printmaker, Sally focuses on visual interpretations of Gertrude Stein’s writing, Sally’s work centers on creating a stammer or stutter where hesitancy, vulnerability and strength come together.
For anyone looking for a stimulating evening, come join the crowd at SCFPL Inner Circle. There is no admission charge for “Jentel Presents” and refreshments are available.
