Art school and gallery's owner excited by possibilities of new location
Positive Strokes Art School & Gallery has a new home at 125 W. Colfax St. in downtown Palatine, and its owner and chief instructor, Marlene Wood, could not be happier. “My dream was always to be in a house or in a barn or something more artsy,” Wood said. “There’s a lot of light here, a lot of space.” The new location is a house that was converted into office space years ago. Previously it was home to financial planning and real estate professionals. Wood spent a month taking out walls to add more space and change offices into classrooms and galleries. Her most recent location, on Quentin Road, also was a house, but the property was sold and the building is due to be torn down. “I felt lucky to find, No. 1, another house and, No. 2, a …

Palatine nursery turns into art gallery for annual show.
Knupper Nursery in Palatine staged its fourth annual Art in the Garden Saturday. Forty artists from as far away as Iowa and as near as Palatine and Inverness showed prints, photography, ceramics, water colors and jewelry at booths scattered among flowers, bushes and hanging baskets. “We call it Art in the Garden because it is interspersed among the plants,” said Chris Sieff, marketing director at Knupper Nursery, 1801 N. Rand Rd. “It makes for a very pretty setting.” Despite the show’s name, work was not limited to flower or plant-themed subjects. “We call it Art in the Garden but its not about the garden,” Sieff said. “It would be boring if everybody here did something with flowers on it.
