Art in Des Moines This week the Daily Palette is celebrating the art of Iowa's capital!
JEANETTE LAMB Jeanette Lamb is a photographer and painter. Her work has been exhibited in both Europe and the United States. Originally from Colorado, Jeanette began visiting eastern Iowa late in her teens -- partly due to a fascination with the Mississippi River and partly due to a musical connection forged by Fall River Road band member Rob Wheeler who'd been playing music at the Dock in Davenport back in the late 1970s. Throughout the years, Wheeler continued returning to Iowa to play music, often extending an invitation to friends. Following Jeanette's initial visit, Iowa became a regular stomping ground between Colorado and places she frequented east of there, such as Chicago and Detroit, where throughout the 1990s she studied film theory and film making before moving on to Boston, Massachusetts where her focus shifted to fine art. In 2005, she again met up with Wheeler, who had by then moved to Des Moines. Fascinated by the trajectory the city was committing to artistically, she returned again in 2008 and again in the summer of 2014, both times eager to photograph it in detail. |
