"Divine Inspirations: Spiritual Expressions in Art"

The focus of Divine Inspirations is the notion of the spiritual in art. The artwork celebrates the spiritual as both sacred and secular through concepts, cultures and places seen through the eyes of three female artists from the Northwoods: Christine Alfery, Karen Kappall and Barbara McFarland.

Christine Alfery holds a Master of Fine Art and a PhD minor in Contemporary Art History from University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has been an artist and educator all her life, but recently began working exclusively as an artist.

Karen Kappell is a Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration. Her special interest is in presenting programs that promote integration of Art and Spirituality.

Barbara McFarland, has been painting for over forty years, concentrating first on regional subjects of the Midwest in oil, then expanding to experimental techniques in transparent watercolor, acrylics and collage. She divides her time between Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin and Nevis, West Indies.
