Color Memories, an exhibit by artist Ginnie Cappaert is on display in the Deo Gallery through the months of December and January. There will NOT be an Artist Reception for this exhibit.

Ginnie Cappaert is a fulltime visual artist with a studio/gallery in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin.  Her surroundings and love of nature inspire and influence her oil, mixed media paintings that she has become known for.  She lived in the beautiful Upper Peninsula for thirty years before moving to Door County to open an art gallery.

Cappaert’s study of art history and experimentation of the oil medium has broadened her personal techniques to art making.  She uses cold wax medium to mix with oil paints creating a more spreadable and textured paint that she can extensively layer.  Some may call Ginnie a ‘colorist’ as she naturally explores and emphasizes the color relationships pulled from nature and her imagination.  She is creating a sense of place from her memory that is open for interpretation by the viewer.

“In my most recent works and the works for, Color Memories, I am exploring the use of color, either neutrals and monochromes or vibrant and intense colors exactly like nature and the change of the seasons.”

The Deo Gallery in located at the Marquette Arts & Culture Center on the lower level of the Peter White Public Library; 217 North Front St., Marquette. The gallery is free and open to the public.
