Seasonal Views of Back Mountain by Nancy Rehm
Nancy Rehm, of Dallas, will be showcasing her display titled Leaves, Light, and Water: Seasonal Views of Back Mountain this September.
Working mainly with oil pastels, Nancy describes what she does as “sophisticated finger-painting”. She draws with the pastels and uses her fingers to blend them on the paper. Nancy has been creating art her whole life and has worked with many different types of media including watercolor, oil paint, and fresco, but pastel is her preferred medium. She studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and at Tufts University. She stumbled upon the Sennelier brand of oil pastels a few years ago, falling in love with them immediately. She prefers the tactile sensation of working directly with the materials rather than using a brush.
Rehm states that after she moved to Dallas, she discovered Frances Slocum State Park and started visiting almost every day. She would take photos of trees, leaves and the lake as references for her work to capture the feel of the different seasons over the year. Her art can be purchased directly via her Facebook page – Nancy Rehm @artrehm.
Of her work, Rehm states “my project is to make ordinary natural scenes and objects look magical and inviting, to entice the viewer into spending time in the little world inside the frame.”

Jan Lohmann, of Harvey’s Lake, will be showcasing her teapot collection this September.
Jan has been collecting teapots for the past 30 years and states that her love of tea got her interested in starting a collection. She states that it is “fun to make a nice pot of tea and relax.” Of her collection, her favorite piece is her mom’s first teapot she got for her wedding shower. “We used it every Saturday night for tea with dinner.” Jan both buys and receives teapots as gifts from friends and family, but has asked people to stop since she has acquired so many now. However, if she sees one that she likes, she will purchase it.
Lohmann states, “In addition to Mom’s first teapot, I have another one she received as a gift in 1945. I have 48 at this point, all different types and styles, but my favorites are blue and white in any style.”
