About the Artists:   

Artist of the Prairie- O’Donnell and Foster produce evocative watercolors, often focusing on rural life in a simpler time. O’Donnell calls up memories of the 1930-40’s and utilizes the impact of light and shadow in her work. Foster’s work explodes with color as she captures life on the farm. Hoefer and Scott are teaming with these talented watercolorists to draw and inspiration from their work. They create jewelry inspired by the color palette and time periods represented in O’ Donnell’s and Foster’s watercolors.
