The Art Base is pleased to present multi-disciplinary artist, sculptor, furniture designer and maker, Andrea Wendel. The integration of functionality and art has been Wendel’s life’s work, as is reflected in her solo exhibition entitled Purposeful Objects. Working in metal, wood, and paint, Wendel creates sculptural work that makes a statement with unique forms and details. Purposeful sculpture inspires one to rethink the way we look at ordinary things.

Wendel states: “I work back and forth between the art, the design and the craft, to create objects of purpose that transform a living space and elevate style. The unexpected details that define a room are about creating a balance and discerning design, as well as joy.”

The Art Base is pleased to present its first group exhibition in the North Gallery at 174 Midland Ave in historic Basalt.  This exhibition features Roaring Fork Valley artists who are part of the Art Base ‘Circle’ – meaning artists who have exhibited with us during the last 25 years.
