| Rita Erdrich and Barbara Nagle |
|
| Two worlds came together on April 13, 2004 at the North Dakota State College of Science Stern Cultural Center. Artist Rita Gourneau Erdrich, Wahpeton and Barbara Benda Nagle, Moorhead showcased their work. Nagle is an acquaintance of Erdrich from years back when she attended Wahpeton High School with Erdrich's son. Nagle is now teaching in Fargo. The two kept in touch and have met periodically through the years to paint together and had always talked of putting on a show. |
| Barbara Nagle |
|
| Barb graduated from Wahpeton Senior High in 1975. Her art took a forward leap when the late Aimee Sanger of Wahpeton encouraged her to continue in the field. Her experiences as an artist/teacher have provided many opportunities to observe children, nature and life. Barb was quoted as saying "My artwork reflects the work with children as I have photographed and sketched them while working with them at the Circle of Nations." |
| Rita Erdrich |
|
| Rita works in watercolor, pastels, oils, pencils and in some cases mixed media to give life to her ancestors, fur traders of long ago, voyageurs, buffalo hunters and farmers in the Great Lakes/Plains region. Most of her paintings are inspired by rare photos she collected through her studies of tribal genealogical history. |
