Art Center East (ACE) announces the opening of “Journeys and Convergence,” a collaborative exhibit featuring the works of local artists Jan Clark, Linda M. Peterson, and Denise Elizabeth Stone. Community members are invited to a free opening reception on Friday, September 6, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. The artists will discuss their work, inspirations, and creative processes in an artist talk beginning at 7:00 p.m. The exhibit will be on display in ACE’s Main Gallery from Friday, September 6 – Saturday, September 28, 2024. 

The roots of “Journeys and Convergence” run deep. Clark, Peterson, and Stone initially gathered to learn the batik watercolor method with Sue Orlaske, another local artist. Orlaske died in 2021. As a group, they developed techniques that expanded the possibilities of the method and exhibited their work as the “Batik Convergence”. Chronicling 16 years of individual artistic journeys and collaborative creative work, “Journeys and Convergence” is unified by the themes of nature, color exploration, and storytelling.

Linda M. Peterson
Based in La Grande, Oregon, Peterson is an artist whose work is a vibrant reflection of the natural beauty and colors of Eastern Oregon. She specializes in watercolor, batik watercolor, and collage, combining these techniques to capture the fluidity of water, the boldness of batik, and the unique textures of collage. Peterson’s work in “Journeys and Convergence” captures the unpredictability and spontaneity of water, the striking contrasts of batik, and the rich textural elements of collage, all of which are influenced by the landscapes she calls home.

Raffle tickets for original artworks by Clark, Peterson, and Stone will be available for purchase in person and online at artcentereast.org beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, September 6. Proceeds from the raffle support the ACE Gallery Program. The three drawings, one for each artwork, will take place after September 28. The public is invited to attend a free closing reception on Friday, September 27, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
