'Heritage Barns' to be exhibited at Peeler Center
In 2004, Indiana artist Gwen Gutwein started a painting project, "Heritage Barns of Indiana." The goal -- now completed -- was to select at least two old and/or historic barns from each of Indiana's 92 counties and paint them, completing most of the works on location.
An exhibition of Gutwein's work, which has been honored as a Bicentennial Legacy Project, will be on display at DePauw University's Richard E. Peeler Art Center from May 31-Aug. 1.
"Heritage Barns: An Artist's Work" is presented free of admission charge and is open to the public.
Gutwein earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Indiana University, graduating with honors. In addition, she studied painting in Washington, Utah, North Carolina, Florida, Greece, and Indiana. The winner of numerous awards and now based in Fort Wayne, she continues to participate in solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and juried competitions. Many of her paintings are in private and public collections across the country. She also teaches private art classes and paint oils and watercolors.
The galleries at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center, located at the southeast corner of Jackson and Hanna streets in Greencastle, are open Monday-Friday 10 a.m.--4 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m.- 5 p.m; and Sunday 1-5 p.m..
