View a collection of graphite and watercolor works by local artist, David Staurffer. This exhibit will be on display September through November.
Statement from the artist:
I have been drawing, painting and involved with various forms of art for over 60 years. My
exposure to the Cedar Rapids area has been both extensive and diverse. I have worked as a
docent at the Cedar Rapids Art Museum and the Czech & Slovak Museum, tour guide for the
Grant Wood Studio. Taught drawing and painting skills at Kirkwood Community College, Cedar
Rapids Parks & Recreation and the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy. I have had my work displayed
at DKW Art Gallery, Marion, Thou Art Gallery & Shops above the Wapsi in Anamosa.
I enjoy doing landscapes, seascapes, animals, old barns and design oriented abstracts mostly
using the watercolor medium. Over the past 20 years I have focused on developing a realistic
approach to all kinds of subject matter integrating a mixed media technique utilizing pencil, pen,
ink and watercolor or acrylic.
