"It's Been A Dream" Art Exhibit by Renee Donley

The Keokuk Art Center will feature the artwork of Renee Donley throughout the month of April. Renee’s work includes oil pastels, colored pencils, acrylics, watercolors, graphite and more. Her beautiful renditions are sure to delight art lovers and enthusiasts so do not miss this excellent opportunity to view Renee’s craft. Renee lives in Sutter, Illinois. She said, “my art journey started in 5th grade when I entered an art contest and won. Drawing was my focus all through high school and college. After college I got married and set art aside to raise a family. It’s been a dream to have art as the focus again. Since COVID caused us to be homebound, I decided it was time to pick up a paint brush again. I have been enjoying watercolors, acrylics, and colored pencils. My subject concentration started as flowers, but now there is a wide range of subjects with the occasional art commission. Along with this dream comes joy and great pleasure when I see the face of the new owner of my art. I am truly grateful for this journey and the art opportunities that have come my way.” Please join the Keokuk Art Center to warmly receive Renee at the public artist reception on April 5th from 5 to 7 at the Keokuk Round Room Galleries, 210 N 5th Street, Keokuk, IA.
