Jane Fink
Painting on Silk
Jane paints on silk from her home in Anamosa. Her luminous panels take what Iowa grows — corn, sunflowers, prairie color — and let it glow through fabric, one brushstroke at a time.
The Artists
Some of the people behind the art.
Every piece in Art in Small Places has a maker, and every maker has a story. Painters, blacksmiths, quilters, basket weavers, and more — all sharing the same quiet devotion to making something beautiful where they stand. Here are a few of the artists you'll meet in the book.
Paul Rohrbach
Blacksmith, Woodworker & Designer
Paul works iron and wood in Scotch Grove. At his anvil he forges pieces — like his intricately engraved axes — that blur the line between tool and art.
Dolores Chadwell
Pen & Ink, Watercolor
Dolores works in pen and ink and watercolor from Anamosa. Her detailed drawings — like her four-horse team — capture rural Iowa with a steady, patient hand.
