On display now through January, 2011 in the Pine Art Gallery are original works of art created by Peg Skalicky, a native of Beroun, Minn. Skalicky began her artistic career while still in high school. While at Pine City High School, Skalicky worked at Helen’s Gallery and learned the art of custom framing. Just five years later, she opened her own business, Picture This… and has been busy ever since.
Skalicky considers herself a copy artist since she hasn’t had any formal training in painting, but she employs techniques learned from watching TV shows featuring famed artists such as Bob Ross and William Alexander. Skalicky’s specialty, painting on leaves, is a unique skill, and her talents have earned her the coveted People’s Choice award at the Five County Art Show.
The Pine Art Gallery features works of original art created by established and/or emerging artists from the Pine Area, embracing the talent and creativity of Pine Technical College students and the larger Pine community. The exhibit changes seasonally, and many kinds of artworks are showcased, including paintings, photography, pottery, sculptures, sketches, wood carvings and more. If you are an artist from the Pine Area and wish to exhibit your works in the Pine Art Gallery, see the Pine Technical College Marketing Director in Student Affairs.
