One local artist I really admire is Marshall Raeburn. He grew up in Minnesota and worked as a janitor for the University of Minnesota for twenty six years. In 2000 Raeburn moved to South Dakota after taking a trip here. He now lives and works in Rapid City.
Raeburn does Found Object Art. FOA is a form of art where you use different "found" materials, such as broken glass and old machine parts. Marshall's genre of FOA is called junk art. I really admire his work because he is able to take something that people consider junk or trash and make it into something creative and unique.
Welcome! My blog is going to be all about art. I'll talk about different art forms that I like and I will also talk about different local art shows and contests. I'll also discuss some local artists that I'm interested in and tell you about local classes that are available.
