During the month of August, Nina Schmidt will be the featured artist in the Café Gallery at the Windhover Center of the Arts in Fond du Lac.

Nina is a self-taught artist whose first solo show “Pull of the Moon” was exhibited at Burlap and Bean Coffee House in Media, PA. She is a member of Fond du Lac Visual Arts and has been painting for over 10 years both commercially and as a fine artist. Her most recent collection of canvases “Shadow of the Moon” explores the tension between solitude and isolation and their shared effects on female identity.

Schmidt will be at the Café Gallery on Thursday, August 11th for the opening reception from 6:30pm – 8pm. Live music will be provided by singer/songwriter Steev Baker.
No admission cost. Cash bar & light hors d’oeuvres available.

“With a new awareness, both painful and humorous, I begin to understand why the saints were rarely married women. I am convinced it has nothing inherently to do, as I once supposed, with chastity or children. It has to do primarily with distractions. The bearing, rearing, feeding and educating of children; the running of a house with its thousand details; human relationships with their myriad pulls–woman’s normal occupations in general run counter to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life. The problem is not merely one of Woman and Career, Woman and the Home, Woman and Independence. It is more basically: how to remain whole in the midst of the distractions of life; how to remain balanced, no matter what centrifugal forces tend to pull one off center; how to remain strong, no matter what shocks come in at the periphery and tend to crack the hub of the wheel.”
