Sandra Fettingis is our chosen muralist for the wall on the side of Gem City Junction.  She has done 54 murals, installations and sculptures since 2005.  Sandra has participated in 78 exhibits since 2005.  Her work is all over the United States.  The mural is made possible by a grant  through WHIN ( Wabash Heartland Innovation Network) funds by the Clinton County Communty Foundation and the Tippecanoe Arts Federation.  

Sandra will be doing a workshop demonstrating some of her process.  This is open to the public and is an opportunity to meet the muralist.  

Sandra Fettingis artist statement:
My work is driven by form, material and site, while abstractly pointing at change, pattern breaks and law of attraction.  Interested in mindful living ideas and practices, these concepts and directions have found their way into my visual practice by way of clean, formulated pattern work via interior and exterior, site specific sculpture, installations and murals.  Employing both delicate and bold shapes in visual systems, I strive to demonstrate change and law of attraction by formulating systematic guidelines, repetition and purposefully restrained color palettes with moments of "change" for and relative to specific locations.  I examine and apply the ways these visual items/systems/formulas can be altered, yet remain constant to abstractly convey the undeniable truth that life/people/environments change and evolve, while remaining the same on some level.  I am interested in conveying these messages by way of site specific public installations and murals that transforms environments, enveloping viewers in thoughtfully accentuated, and changed spaces, where architecture and art seamlessly coexist, creating a sense of place in a community.
I am currently living and working in Denver, CO.  Born and raised in Chicago, IL.
