Terra Nova: Ten Years
<p>The CRMA celebrates ten years of collaborating with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio. In 2009, the CRMA began meeting with artists who had completed residencies at the Ceramics Center and acquiring a piece of their work—often completed during their residency—for the Museum’s collection. This mutually beneficial arrangement allowed the artists to establish themselves in a museum collection and receive professional experience with curators while growing the CRMA’s collection of three-dimensional art. The exhibition will display artwork from every resident from 2009 to 2018 and both executive directors, a testament to the fruitfulness of this collaboration.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Wendy Thoreson, Untitled (sauce boat), 2014, earthenware, 4 ¾ x 8 ¾ inches, gift of the artist, 2014.03.</p><p> </p><p><em>This exhibition and accompanying educational programming have been made possible by the GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation Donor-Advised Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. Additional support has been provided by the Hotel-Motel Tax Fund, the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, members of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, and contributors to the Museum’s Annual Fund.

She embarked on her writing journey in third grade, when she wrote a short book about sentient planets. Her enormous fantasy world of plastic animals sparked her own mythology and love of story, and the make-believe games played with her sisters cemented a facility for wild creativity, and a sense that there were no limits to the imagination.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="2cp-0-0"><span data-text="true">From junior high through her first years of college, Beth continued to write, producing three drafts of one novel, a handwritten manuscript of another, and a third novel which may someday get dusted off and revised as the bones of something better. In college she took courses in Middle Welsh, Old Irish, Old English, Shakespeare, General Mytholgy, and Medieval and Renaissance Literature, and drifted out of a major in Astronomy and into a major in Linguistics with a minor in English. These classes cross-pollinated with her own stories, and taught her a great deal about culture and language that she is very grateful to have learned. It was also in college that she was introduced to science fiction fandom. She has been an active participant in ICON, Iowa's oldest sf convention, for over thirty years, running panels, working with the drama group, and for many years designing the program book.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="bm3gr-0-0"><span data-text="true">Post-college she fell into Real Life, and writing was temporarily sidelined. During this time she managed to acquire a family, and has three amazing sons of whom she is very proud. Deciding not to let her writing fall by the wayside, she began working hard on both old and new projects, and has been publishing short stories for the last decade, in anthologies and small press magazines. In 2008, she released an illustrated chapbook, "Following Seas" (originally released by Sam's Dot Publishing and reprinted in 2013 by Alban Lake Publishing's "Outposts of Beyond"), and in 2011 published a novella, The Herd Lord, about a war among centaurs.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="e3nr4-0-0"><span data-text="true"> In addition to fiction, she composes poetry and music, sings, and plays guitar, harp, and piano. Other hobbies include Arthurian literature and mythology, Celtic mythology, jewelry making, and of course, reading. She draws inspiration from many varied sources such as artwork, music, mythology, thunderstorms, and designer coffee.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="7bcnl-0-0"><span data-text="true">Etched in Fire is her first published novel, and takes place in the same world (though not the same time) as The Herd Lord.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-01-18 19:00:00 -0600

Before she could write, she began dreaming up stories. Starting with recorded conversations for her dolls on a Fisher-Price cassette player, she moved on to an antique typewriter found at a garage sale, then an electric typewriter, and finally computers. It wasn’t until she picked up romance novels in her late twenties that she found where she belonged. With the help of her husband, she carves out time to write while raising five children, working full time and obsessing over her laundry list of eccentric passions. Every new obsession seems to find its way into her romance world!</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-02-08 19:00:00 -0600
