IHCC reschedules reception

Wisconsin artist Patricia Strong?s art exhibition titled ?Theophanies: How the Soul Appears? continues to be on display at the Indian Hills Community College Art Gallery.

Since a public reception for Strong was previously snowed out, there will be a reception for the artist from 7-8:30 p.m. on the closing day of the exhibit March 13.

During Stong?s rare moments of improved health, she sought liberation from Crohn?s disease through painting, playing guitar and piano and creating intricately-detailed quilted art.

Today, Strong is 56 years old with a large collection of unique pieces of art, ranging from hand-painted furniture and wall murals to wall-hung sewn and painted art. She started quilting in 2007 and in the 1.5 years she created more than 40 quilts.
