BELOIT—The watercolor paintings of Ken Marsden and the historic artwork collection of Dr. Glen Heggy will be featured at the Beloit Art Center in July.
The First Friday Gallery Reception, open to the public, will be held from 5—7 p.m. on Friday, July 1. A gallery talk featuring the artists will be held at 6 p.m. Both exhibits will be open through July 28.
The Main Gallery will feature the work of watercolor painter Ken Marsden. Trained as an engineering draftsman and illustrator, he later obtained a business degree from the University of Illinois and spent his working years in marketing and sales, eventually becoming president and CEO of several national companies. In spite of managerial responsibilities, Marsden produced a wealth of paintings during this period. Now retired, he is devoted to fly fishing for trout and watercolor painting. His paintings have been exhibited in Wisconsin, his birthplace of Galena, Illinois, and locally in Rock County.
