A UW-La Crosse Associate Art Professor is among three women to exhibit in an upcoming gallery show at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona.
Jennifer Terpstra will exhibit some of her latest encaustic works in “Tri-State Invitational: 3 Women from 3 States” which runs Oct. 25-Jan. 12, 2014. Contemporary encaustic methods involve fusing pigments with beeswax and resin, and applying them to supported surfaces.
Along with featuring one of the highest quality collections of 19th and early 20th century art in Middle America, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum works with regional accomplished living artists to create dynamic exhibitions and programs. The grand finale of the museum's 2013 Painting Series is also its first tri-state invitational.
The invitational includes works of varying degrees of abstraction, all heavily inspired by the Upper Mississippi region's waterways. Along with Terpstra, the other artists are Julia Crozier from Minnesota and Nancy Purington from Iowa.

The three work with inspiration from nature and the Mississippi River. Each works within their own personal abstraction.
“We are really looking forward to this exhibition. For these artists, it is a chance for their work to be recognized next to some of the greatest artistic achievements in history,” says Museum Director Andrew Maus. “For the community, it is a chance to explore some of the most beautiful and poetic abstract art being made in the region today!”
Along with the exhibit, the three will take part in an Artist Demonstration Day Friday, Oct. 25, from noon–5 p.m. The program is free for adults with paid admission, and it is free for students with no admission charge. The event is funded by Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council through the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund.
The museum, 800 Riverview Drive in Winona, is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. Admission is $3 for students and $7 for adults and senior citizens. See more at: www.mmam.org.
