Joan M. Ladendorf, Avenues of Inquiry Exhibit

Joan is a self-taught artist who has been exploring various artist possibilities over the past 40 years. Her journey covered theater costuming, graphic design, quilt making and paper collage. Currently, she is back on the computer creating what she likes to call “Photo Collage”.  Making use of her image collection of textures and landscape backgrounds, throwing in shapes taken from her fabric compositions or drawn with the computer mouse, she is creating “Visions”, “Monsters” and most recently “Creatures”.  The elements are digitally assembled using Photoshop’s various layering techniques, and further enhanced with dimensional effects.

Meet the artist and enjoy some refreshments at the reception on Saturday, August 11th between 2 – 4pm. The exhibit will continue through September 8th.

The Addison Center for the Arts gallery is adjacent to Addison Trail High School at 213 N. Lombard Road and parking is available in the North lot. The gallery is open Wednesday – Saturday 1- 4 pm. This exhibit is partially funded by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
