St. Charles Public Library showcases local artist
In July and August, the St. Charles Public Library is hosting an exhibit by local artist Tessa Koller, a St. Charles native who specializes in multiple mediums.
Her art-making skills led to her earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 2008.
Since then, she has pursued painting, abstraction, realistic portraits and landscapes, and visually dynamic acrylic pours. She's had her work displayed at 116Gallery and many venues in and outside of St. Charles.
In addition to exhibiting locally, Koller has traveled to almost nine countries delivering keynote speeches and showcasing her work.
The story behind her artwork is one to follow and is regularly published in multiple magazines and national health and wellness journals. She was recently published in the international magazine Wellbeing Magazine and manages a blog that draws hundreds of unique subscribers from across the world. Visit www.tessakollerart.com for more details about her triumphant story, her articles and blog, and subscribe to her monthly newsletter.
