VIVA 1st Thursday Artist Reception

August 1 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Julie Sutter-Blair August Guest Artist at VIVA Gallery

Julie Sutter-Blair is a printmaker who specializes in etching as part of her printmaking process. The natural world and daily life bring inspiration to her work. All her life she has enjoyed gardening, the changing seasons, and art. Printmaking, and especially etching, provides her opportunity for detail, texture, and surprise.

The process of etching uses a wide variety of techniques to produce an image below the surface of a metal plate. After the metal plate is finished, it is inked and prints are made one by one on an etching press. They are dried under weight before color is applied to the dried prints.

You have to come see Julie’s beautiful work for yourself. Meet Ms. Sutter-Blair and learn about her work and process at our 1st Thursday Opening Reception, August 1, 5pm to 7pm at VIVA Gallery in Viroqua!

At VIVA Gallery, along with the work of our guest artist, you will see creative, imaginative, functional, and decorative art by VIVA Gallery Cooperative members, all made locally. Mark your calendar for another event at VIVA Gallery in August. Bill Mapp is having a watercolor demo on Saturday, August 3rd from 12-2pm. He’s calling it The Joy and Challenge of Watercolor. Come learn from a master watercolorist!
