De Pere, WI – As spring emerges and the air fills with the energy of new growth, newARTSpace is filling its walls with an exhibition featuring six emerging local artists. For Art Nite in Downtown De Pere on April 10th from 5-8 p.m., join us for the opening reception to celebrate this blending of work that embodies the concept of intertwining in both concept and collaboration. Abigail Marquardt, Kassie Corroy, Miranda Moeller, Savannah Mikle, Shelby Stoddard, and Willow Bayer create an intertwining of art and memory, a metaphor for emotion, and a reverence for the natural world. This exhibition debuts Savannah Mikle as guest curator.
Abigail Marquardt
Abigail Marquardt works in crochet and mixed media, drawing inspiration from nature to create small to large-scale textile sculptures that often mimic spider webs or water. She teaches art at Antigo High School.
Kassie Corroy
Kassie Corroy practices screen printing and book art. Working across two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms, her work becomes a tactile meditation on connection, loss, and the ways experiences embed themselves in the material world. She lives in Green Bay, WI, and works at the Trout Museum of Art in Appleton.
Miranda Moeller
Miranda Moeller focuses on screen printing and collage to explore the complexities of layered emotions and memories surrounding homes and the roles that domestic spaces play in our lives. She lives in rural Black Creek, WI.
Savannah Mikle
Savannah Mikle creates drawings and paintings from handmade and eco-conscious materials with an interest in the cycles of life and death in nature. They live in Green Bay, WI, and work at newARTSpace as a studio assistant.
Shelby Stoddard
Shelby Stoddard enjoys working in drawing and embroidery to explore themes in childhood memories, feminism, human connection, and self-reflection. She is originally from rural Minnesota and currently lives and works in Appleton as a substitute art teacher.
Willow Bayer
Willow Bayer embraces detailed collage that deconstructs old photographs and recreates them to preserve moments that were deemed very precious, turning these memories into new, colorful worlds. She is based in Appleton, WI, and is represented by Woodwalk Gallery in Egg Harbor.
