Green Lake Artist Jennifer Aither’s Paintings at Thrasher through October
Green Lake, Wis. (September 26, 2022) – Jennifer Aither grew up in Green Lake WI. She moved across the country after graduating from college and eventually made her way back to the area. Jenn is a self-taught abstract artist. She has always loved creating art. In fact, had you asked her childhood self what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would have told you, “An artist”. Instead, she became a State Farm Agent, and her art took a back seat until 2019. When asked why she started painting, Aither replied, “One day I picked up a brush and I have not put it down since… I guess I have a lot to say.” Jenn’s art comes from the intersection of her soul and her imagination. She loves to use color, play with shapes, and create vibrant interesting pieces. She also prefers BIG! Her largest pieces to date are 5 ft by 6ft. While Jennifer prefers acrylic paints to oils, (less mess) she recently discovered watercolors and has been, “living in that space”.
Her exhibit will be displayed at the Thrasher Gallery until October 31. The Thrasher gallery is at 510 Mill St., Green Lake, WI, 54941. The gallery is open to the public on weekdays from 10 a.m. – to 4 p.m. and is accessible to concert patrons on event nights.
If you are a visual artist and would like to be considered for an exhibit at the Thrasher gallery, please get in touch with our office at info@thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279, Thrasher Opera House’s mission is to promote the arts and the power of live performance, provide a community gathering place, and preserve the historic Thrasher Opera House.
