Vierneisel’s Summer Art Exhibit

Solo Art Exhibit June 4 – 30, 2022

“Memories in Light and Shadow:  Paintings Inspired by the Art and Life of Willa Cather.” 

This second exhibit of “Memories in Light and Shadow” features a total of 18 paintings inspired by Cather’s novels and life and 8 paintings of places that Cather lived or visited in her life.

Prairie Guests

The first exhibit in 2021 coincided with The National Willa Cather Center’s Annual Spring Conference in Red Cloud, NB.  Five of the paintings in the original exhibit were sold, and I donated one to the Center.  While in Red Cloud I visited Willa Cather’s home and the prairie about which she wrote so movingly.  On my return home, I began new paintings to fill the void created by the missing 6 works in the original show.

For this second exhibit I created three works interpreting the prairie, another portrait of Cather, and a new work inspired by Cather’s My Mortal Enemy.
