This week's blog features the artwork of Alan Affolter. This local artists moved to Indiana in 1980 as a hired hand on a dairy farm. He left the farm but loved the area and made Indiana his home, where he still resides with his wife and two children. Allen has professional artists on both sides of his family so inspiration was plentiful. he specializes in pencil, pen, ink, and watercolor and characterizes his work as "illustration".
A variety of Allen's coasters and plaques are displayed in our gallery. My personal favorite is the "Falling Leaves" plaque and coasters (plaque pictured below).

"I love the challenge of capturing the moment, the action, the mood, or the personality of the character. Hopefully that's what you see in my art."
-Alan Affolter
This piece certainly captures a blissful moment shared in the heart of the Fall season.
