FEATURED ARTIST

Carver County Artist George Crockett will be the next featured artist in the Arts Center. His work will be on view from mid-May through June. He favors landscapes in his paintings, which are done in pastels. As he says, “Pastels are ready to use with very little preparation time and no clean up time. The hardest part for me is just getting started. Often, I have no idea where the painting will go. It’s the little surprises that happen in the process that motivate me to keep moving on. I am always hoping there will be an element of mystery in the end product. My favorite places for subject matter are S. E. Minnesota, S.W. Wisconsin and N. E. Iowa.” George Crockett reports that he trained with “some wonderful art teachers at Worthington High School and at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I find Picasso was right when he said ‘Inspiration exists but has to find us working.’”
