The show, titled \u201cSearching,\u201d consists of several bright and colorful paintings that show Skewis-Arnett\u2019s evolution as an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of her work consists of an abstract art style, making use of shape, line, and bright, contrasting colors. Some pieces stray from her usual non-representative style, however, they all create a cohesive and eye-catching environment that allows viewers to decide for themselves what each art work is about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the show\u2019s reception on Thursday, October 3, Skewis-Arnett stated that each piece was created using a palette knife and either her preferred medium of oil paint or the occasional acrylic paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This art show is a great opportunity for students to experience and explore downtown Sioux City and to support and meet local artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skewis-Arnett\u2019s show will be up at Vangarde Arts, a small art gallery and music venue in downtown Sioux City, until the end of October. A great time to go for free is during Vangarde Arts\u2019 Acoustic Open Mic Night at 7pm every Thursday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
