Event to examine work of Sheboygan Falls artist

Laurie Winters, executive director of the Museum of Wisconsin Art, will address the evolution of still life and its influence on Sheboygan Falls-based artist Beth Lipman's glass art in a "Local Lives, National Voices" talk. 

Winters will speak on how Lipman's work is inspired by and challenges traditional 17th century Baroque still life paintings. Lipman creates large-scale, three-dimensional still life works from glass. An exhibition of her recent work (produced between 2010 and 2015) is on view in "Once & Again: Still Life's by Beth Lipman" at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee through Sunday, Jan. 8. 

Winters talk on Lipman is the last in a four-part series featuring people with Milwaukee roots who are making an impact on a national level. The event begins Thursday, Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. at the Jewish Museum of Milwaukee. General admission is $5, $3 for members of the museum.
