Associated Watercolors August 4 - September 13
Over ten years ago, a group of professional watercolor painters came together to form the Associated Watercolorists. They all share a love of the medium and its fluid characteristics. The paintings showing at the Chaska Community Center are original art, not prints, and done on acid-free paper, framed and ready to be hung in your home or place of business. Associated Watercolorists are gald to show their work as a group. Although all work in watercolor, each artist has their own style and the paintings complement each other. The Associated Watercolorists have years of education and experience and have won many top awards. They are happy to be showing paintings at the CCC again.

Quilts by Susan Stein September 16 - October 5
Susan Stein is a nationally know quilt author, teacher, and designer. She has over thirty years of quilting experience and was Minnesota Quilter of the Year in 2003. Susan has written tree books on the topic of quilting and contributed to many more.
Susan's most recent interest is journal quilts. Journal quilts started as an online challenge and are very small; 8 by 10 inches up to 18 by 20 inches. Creating journal quilts is the subject of many classes that Susan teaches, as well as a current and a future book. Her classes cover the latest surface design, embellishment and painting techniques. The techniques that Susan teaches encourage people to think outside the box and cultivate a playful "what if" attitude while creating pieces full of color and texture.
Susan is the owner of Colorful Quilts and Textiles in St. Paul. She will be presenting a lecture, "Exploring Fabric Art" at the Chaska Area Quilt Club Show - Fall Splendor of Quilts on October 4th at 11 am. For more information on the Quilt Show, see www.caqc.net..

Richard Kochenash  November 3 - December 12
My life is filled with memories, precious time spent with my family, rearing children to live in this present world. My adjacent studio is filled with paintings, thoughts caught up on canvas. It's time to release both.
My paintings, primarily in oil paint and watercolor, span a wide range of interest. Each reflects a point in time with its particular present moment story to tell as well as my mood and emotion when I painted it. They each stand independently. My hope is however that when viewed as a whole all my works, including the art, present to the viewer the hand behind my signature.
For this show Richard will be showcasing Chaska Area Paintings. Come see Chaska come to life in this magical art.
