Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
To create a new body of work inspired directly from nature. The creation of four large-scale artworks and small studies based on the visits to the natural attractions of prairie, forest, river and lake. 2: To engage the public in the creative process by documenting the artwork's formation. By tracking the number of people viewing the different stages of artwork creation on my Facebook artist page and attendance at a show of the artwork with a presentation of the entire process.
Sheryl Tuorila created five large scale works, ten fine art photographs and three small scale works. All of the artworks were in a new direction, depicting natural landscapes. 2: Sheryl Tuorila gave out 400 postcards with grant info, increased her Facebook likes by 300 people, weekly posts on this page reached an average of 582 people and over 2000 people came through her studio during the course of this grant period.
