I believe paintings and drawings should represent the world beyond just the mundane and real, but, should instead allow us to view what would otherwise be intangible.

Obelisk Home brings Ashtabula to the Ozarks
with Great Lake: The Art of Karen Schneider
 | | Artist Karen W. Schneider will donate 10 percent of November sales to the Greene County Medical Society. |
Obelisk Home at the Inspired Commerce Building, 214 W. Phelps, presents Great Lake: The Art of Karen Schneider in November. "Growing up along the banks of Lake Erie in Ashtabula, Ohio, my wild place was always the beach. The big oak tree, the lift bridge, the view of the harbor, the railroad yards, quiet tide pools, the scent of rain before a storm, sitting on the pier watching the moonrise, sailing: These are the blood-memory landmarks of my childhood. The lake expresses many moods in its many seasons. The abstract frozen ice caps of winter's crust melt into spring storms, then summer's warm sun, followed by November's howling menace. How to pain one gray sky as it is? I no longer live beside the lake, but every trip back, I always reserve a few quiet hours to go walk the beach alone. My paintings in one way or another speak to my circle of quiet. I hope you find something in them that speaks to yours." - Karen Schneider (417) 616-6488 www.obeliskhome.com
