Summer 2024 Artist Exhibitions

The month of July brings a new lineup of artists to display at the Coliseum Museum of Art, Antiques & Americana in downtown Oregon, IL.

Featured Artist Wall | July 1-31
Lucinda Winterfield of Dixon is the featured Artist for July. Cindy’s love of nature, the North Woods, and wildlife is evident in her paintings. A talented 4th-grade classmate inspired her to begin painting and take a children’s workshop at Burpee Art Museum in Rockford. She then continued on to study fine arts at NIU. Since retiring as a graphics specialist, she has become an avid plein air painter and participates in classes and local workshops when available. Her oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings have won several local awards, and many of her paintings have found homes in collections from Illinois, Wisconsin, Washington, Colorado, Florida, and the East Coast.

Lowden Gallery Artist | July 1-August 31
Janet Cederlund of Union has her work displayed in the Lowden Gallery from July 1 to August 31. Jan is a lifelong artisan dabbler, picking up watercolor in only the last 10 years. In 2017, with retirement looming, she began formal instruction with her now artistic mentor, artist Robert Krajecki, IWSA-TWSA. Today, Jan’s work can be found in many regional competitions and charitable sales as she develops her personal style and expertise. Her painting signature is a simple JHaugen, a tribute to her maiden name and the beloved crayons that began her artistic journey. Watercolor is no longer a hobby for Jan but a passion to carry her through the remaining decades.

Artist Reception

The work of these two artists, as well as the many other artists on display throughout the Coliseum Museum, will be highlighted at an Artist Reception on Friday, July 19, with music by Al and Jeannie Brown. Based in Wyanet, Al and Jeannie have been making music together for over 30 years. Although they have covered nearly every musical style, their piano and upright bass duo favor jazz standards.
