The featured artist for

tion is Dorothea Hover-
Kramer, who was se-
lected by the Illinois Val-
ley Fine Artists’ group to
be its representative.
The show will be
available for viewing
Tuesday, Sept. 4.
Besides being a mul-
titalented artist, Hover-
Kramer is a concert pian-
ist, a well-known author,
and an effective life
skills counselor with 30
years experience. She re-
cently has expanded her
reach to include the visual
arts as well.
Since moving to the
Illinois River Valley four
years ago, she has explored
the beauty of her environ-
ment through watercolor
and acrylic paintings. Her
work represents her
“connection to Nature” and
her wish “to preserve what
is left of the wilderness for
future generations.”
Each painting in the
exhibit of acrylics on canvas
displays her careful yet fluid
observations of the natural
world, the environment, and
tion of her sense of color
and harmony.
Included paintings will
be Summer Surf at Gold
Beach, 16-by-20; Illinois
River in Autumn, 11-by-14;
Spring in the Columbia
River Gorge, 16-by-20; Win-
