Two Artists Share New Exhibition at Oakton

A shared exhibition featuring paintings and ceramic works by two members of the Oakton Community College art faculty opens Thursday, Feb. 9, at the Koehnline Museum of Art, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines. A free reception with light refreshments is scheduled 5 - 8 p.m. The exhibit runs through Friday, March 24.

James Krauss: Paintings showcases an approach to media using watercolor and acrylic titanium white on watercolor paper. Subtle nuances and poetic moods distinguish these works by Krauss, who serves as chair of Oakton's art department.

Peter Hessemer: Ceramics is a display of hand-built and wheel-thrown porcelain stimulated by natural objects. Hessemer's creative process is open-ended, and inspired by his teachers, Rudolf Staffel and Ruth Duckworth.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Museum hours are 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturdays.
