The show, called Surroundings, will feature Nick’s abstract oil paintings, as well as work by Amy Fuller and sculptures by guest artist Gary Carstens.

“I’m excited to show there because I’ve only exhibited in smaller venues before,” Nick said.

The opening reception will be 5:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14 at Gallery C, in the Schmid Innovation Center, 900 Jackson St., Suite 113, in Dubuque. It will continue through Jan. 11.

Nick studied creative writing and studio art with an emphasis in painting and drawing at Loras College.

“My paintings are inspired by landscapes,” he said.

He recently competed in Art Slam at Voices X, winning second place in the professional category.

Amy Fuller, a Studio Works artist, will show a series of oil paintings that were inspired by her trips to India and Spain.

Guest artist Gary Carstens is a studio potter and owner of Mississippi Mud Studios in Dubuque.
