A public reception in celebration of the show will be Tuesday, March 10th from 4:30 to 6:30pm at the Library (335 West Alger Street in Sheridan). For sales inquiries of work in the show, the artists will have contact information available by the staircase of the mezzanine.

Patti Ellis:

Most of my work could be called impressions of our local landscape. Nature, wild places, and art are the threads that hold my world together. I am pleased to be joining Darlene, Edre, and Rebecca in this year’s show, ‘On the Loose 2020’.

Rebecca Rousseau:

To liven up my paintings, I try to decipher and capture the emotions and personalities of the subject. The subjects in my paintings should  always tell a story. The story that I may be trying to tell isn’t the “real” story; the viewer should discover that for themselves when they see my work. Despite living miles away from the "Loosers," and missing our painting get togethers, I continue to paint. I've traded painting the beauty of Wyoming for the pink skies of Silver City, NM.

Darlene Reiter:

The painters who make up On the Loose have varied styles and experiment with diverse media. My painting focuses on color and mood.  My goal is to create art that evokes mental and emotional response. We enjoy our On the Loose association.  The common thread is a love of the creative process.  Our techniques and media are varied, and make we hope that people will find the results interesting and enjoyable.

Edre Maier:

I started painting when I moved to Sheridan in 1988.  I took a watercolor class at the college from Danna Hildebrand and have been painting ever since, as my time allows. My interest lies mainly with landscapes, architecture and buildings.  I am so pleased to be able to paint with the creative group known as "on the loose."
