The work of Rusty Frentner will be on display in the Motherhouse Gallery during the exhibit, Keeping It Wild

Mr. Frentner has spent a lifetime appreciating the beauty and wonder of wildlife and he began to capture that appreciation when still a child. From crayons to watercolors to graphite pencils and then to oils and acrylic paints, he learned about mixing colors and adding details to his work, which has been exhibited locally and around the country. He has conducted myriad workshops and is a member of the Society of Animal Artists, Oil Painters of America and a signature member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society. He is also involved with plein air painting, the process of setting up paints and easel out in the open somewhere and doing a painting. He has earned numerous awards for his artwork, both locally and nationally. He loves going out to the natural world with his paints and exploring keeping it wild! Download the flyer.

All are welcome to the opening reception Monday, Jan. 20, 6–7:30 p.m.

The exhibit is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
