Quad City Arts, 1715 - 2nd Avenue, Rock Island IL, is hosting a show of art created during the Covid lockdown last year. Some of the art references covid, naturally, but there’s a wide range of beautifully creative treats for you to see. We’re pleased that four of our RutabagAs have work in this show: Debbie Beyerlein, Kris Love, Karen Stewart-Casper, and Pauline Swanson. Good job!
The show runs from Oct. 15 - Dec. 3 at the downtown Rock Island gallery. Do go see it, you won’t be disappointed! Our friend and neighbor Dave Smith, of Smith Studio and Gallery, also has two wild and wonderful papier mache sculptures in the show.
See some, but not all, of the art: https://www.quadcityarts.com/rock-island-gallery.html

“Seeking Inspiration From Coffee”, by the ever-quirky Kris Love
Debbie Beyerlein did 30 small watercolor paintings. She painted one a day for 30 days. Most were inspired by her past travels.
This is Karen Stewart Casper with her lovely trees. She also paints barns and old vehicles well.
