Artist Interview:
Roseanne Crowell (Noblesville, Ind.)
As I drove down the road, a building with yellow paint spattered about caught my eye. Once an old church, it is now known as “The Birdie Gallery.” I then walked inside and was kindly greeted by Roseanne Crowell, an artist from Noblesville.
Roseanne has enjoyed art ever since she was a child. From decorating classrooms to drawing with crayons, she never outgrew her creativity. Rather than having formal training, she attended several workshops to broaden her skills. 30 years ago while she lived in northern Indiana a retired professor from Ball State University started giving art lessons. She was then able to get a taste of various forms of art including oils, pastels and water color. Pastels quickly became her favorite.
Roseanne now lives and continues to work on her art in Noblesville. When she moved back to Indiana she joined the Indiana Artisan Program and has been working with that to accomplish her work more consistently. Roseanne has found a niche for painting portraits of animals. You will be able to find works such as the “Pheasant,” which was her first pastel, and “Snack Attack” if you take a gander through “The Birdie Gallery.”
If you’re interested in checking out Roseanne’s pieces of art, the gallery has an open house every other first Friday. The next one will be in September, so make a note to stop by!
