ABOUT pederbeck:
The act of creating art tends to be a solitary endeavor. And, through the years, both Don Aggerbeck and Jane Pederson have explored their individual artistic paths. Don has focused on creating drawings and watercolors that reflect his interestsin nature, religion, philosophy, and in architectural designs. Jane has focused her interests on abstractions. She has played with color, textures, depth, light, minimalism, illusions and mark-making in her paintings.
Within the last few years Don and Jane have attempted to integrate their artistic endeavors with the other interests in their lives such as gardening. The pederbeck website is the public expression of those interests. They have also begun collaborating on their art to see how that might further develop their individual expressions and joint interests.
Their artistic collaborations are created using the pseudonym pederbeck Arte gruppe.
The collaborations began as collages but have expanded to incorporate mixed media,
drawing, painting, photography and computer techniques. Many of the images become postcard art and greeting cards. The postcards are mailed to friends, fellow artists and relatives and even played a role in their courtship and marriage. One of their collages was selected by the Emergency Foodshelf Network as an Artwork for Tummies holiday card for 2007 and 2008.
They have also created several videos with their original music from the pederbeck Arte gruppe images. Like their gardening projects, it is hoped that the videos help cultivate positive thoughts that produce health and well-being.
Don and Jane met in 1989 while working for a fine art publisher. Both have backgrounds in art and produced artwork individuallyprior to their meeting and continue to do so. Don graduated from St. Olaf College and studied at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Jane has a degree in fine arts from the University of Iowa.
Don's and Jane’s collaborations have expanded their artistic “vocabulary” and opened them to different ideas, compromise, acceptance and growth.
It is their hope that their on-going journey will speak to you.
