If You Are A River

This painting is a companion to a poem by a poet I know, Jim Pollock. The poem is called "If You Are A River".  Jim and members of the Q Gallery Artist's Cooperative have organized a project called Verse and Vision.  The resulting exhibit pairs artists and Wisconsin poets. The works are exhibited side-by-side. You get a rare glimpse into how words and images can combine to make a new work of art. The poems came first, the artist chose a poem to inspire them, and the artwork was born. 

The show is open now at:
Q Gallery Artist's Cooperative
1108 Main Street, Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Poetry will be read this Friday, May 20 
from 5:30-6:30 pm 
at the Q Gallery

I will try to post the poem with the author's permission.
