About the Exhibit
A group of Minnesota women-artists who call themselves the “Ten Brushes” share a sampling of their talent in the show, “BrushWorks,” at Hennepin County Medical Center April 4 through June 26, 2014. Banded together for mutual support and inspiration, these women represent a variety of styles and approaches to watermedia - including watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media. Members of the group have received many awards and honors locally and nationally. They are active in several arts organizations, serve on boards, and teach classes and workshops. The paintings in this show exhibit cheerful, tranquil, and uplifting themes.
The Ten Brushes include Kathy Braud, Barbara Duffy, Lisa Fertig, Patty Healy, Marie Hammond, Marilyn Jacobson, Deb Magelssen, Barbara Parisien, Leny Wendel, Wendy Westlake.
