Julie Peterson-Shea
1988 Holdrege High School Graduate
Julie is
the daughter of George and Linda Peterson of Funk. She is a
graduate of Holdrege High School and received her BA and MFA from
Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. She currently
lives in Phillipsburg, KS and teaches art grades
8-12 there. Most of her two-dimensional artwork, whether it
is created in pencil, acrylic, ink, or watercolors, displays her
love of detail. She also enjoys creating wheel-thrown and
sculptural ceramic pieces. She has displayed at the Womanmade
Gallery in Chicago, IL, Period Gallery, Omaha, NE, and various
other local locations and competitions.
The
work I am donating is called “Emergence” It features a little
girl sitting on a stage with arms outstretched as if embracing the
spotlight. In the background you see a cocoon and several tiger
swallowtail butterflies. There is also a grown woman’s face.
The idea behind this drawing is that we are all continually
growing and changing.
Value $300.
