Raven’s Wish Gallery is pleased to announce a solo art exhibition by Robert Witzack of Orfordville. “Life Stages Reflected in the Tarot: An Introspective Journey” is a collection of images inspired by themes found in historic tarot card decks. Using a wide array of artists’ colored pencils, Witzack explores the natural connection between the unconscious and the source of ideas and creativity. He states, “As, an artist, I’ve become fascinated with astrology and the tarot due to the wealth of visual material with which to create personal narratives from the unseen world within one’s own psyche.”

Join us! Free and open to the public, an artist reception will be held from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm on Friday, March 6th at Raven’s Wish Gallery, 101 W. Milwaukee Street in Janesville. The exhibition will hang February 28th – March 25th and the gallery is open from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday.

Raven’s Wish Gallery is pleased to announce a shared art exhibition by Dava Dahlgran (colored pencil) and Gail Pratt (manipulated photography) both of Janesville.

An artist for more than 50 years, Dahlgran’s chosen medium is colored pencil which she uses to create life-like images and to tell stories. She is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, having earned status in both pure pencil and mixed media. Pratt is a William’s Bay native whose poignant, manipulated photographs have a haunting, painterly quality.

The exhibition is a year-long culmination of images depicting hats and shoes, and the stories told behind the scenes. Dahlgran states, “Personal items, such as hats and shoes, tell intimate, but universal stories. Everyone seems to relate to them.” 

An artist reception will be held from 4 pm to 7 pm on November 30th at Raven’s Wish Gallery, 101 W. Milwaukee Street in Janesville. The exhibition is free and will hang through January 5th. Gallery hours are from 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday.

Raven’s Wish Gallery is pleased to announce an art exhibition by local artist Robert Witzack of Orfordville. “New Works” is a body of work completed in the last three years. Included in the show are a series of small oil paintings envisioned as devotional works for meditation and the spiritual, both Western and Eastern traditions. Also displayed are additional pieces in colored pencil and a painting of Southside Brewery No. 2, created for a local brewery researcher.

Witzack began painting in the mid-1960s (B.S in Fine Art, UW Madison). Most of his work is representational oil and his subject matter includes portraits, still life, and landscapes. His interests range from music, auto mechanics and motorsports, to trains and vintage timepieces. After a career as a railroad and engineer service employee, Witzack currently works part-time at a downtown jeweler’s shop repairing clocks and watches.

Witzack’s exhibition will be at Raven’s Wish Gallery, 101 West Milwaukee Street in Janesville, through August 23rd. The show is FREE to the public and open during gallery hours, 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday at 101 W. Milwaukee Street in historic downtown Janesville.
