The Pine Art Gallery is currently featuring work by artist Keith Raivo for the duration of the Spring semester. Raivo's piece, Mother Earth, is made completely of stainless steel. Raivo may be well-known for his wooden hampers and baskets; after all, he has been creating them since 1981. However, Raivo works in many media including wood, metals, and stone.
Raivo lives in the Pine Area with his wife, Valerie, and together, they manage a gallery in Mora, Minn. Galerie Valerie features everything from Raivo’s famous baskets and hampers to carved wood and stone sculptures inspired by creatures of nature as well as functional pieces such as tables and seating.
View Raivo’s online gallery at http://raivoart.com. Raivo is available for commissioned works and may be reached at 320-679-4667 or keith@raivoart.com.
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, staff, faculty and the larger Pine community. The exhibit changes seasonally, and many kinds of artworks are showcased, including paintings, photographs, 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.
