Rodger Gerberding, Council Bluffs, IA, will be the Artist-in-Residence, marking his 11th residency at the Red Barn Studio Museum June 20 through July 8. Gerberding’s focus while at the Red Barn Studio will be to begin a commissioned graphic novel, and to paint new paintings exploring a Lindsborg theme. Later, in November, during another residency at the Red Barn, he will be working on Letters by Lester Raymer. He will start his Raymer “Letter Show” during his June residency. Roger Gerberding studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Academy of Fine Art and the Goodman School of Drama. While educated as an illustrator and an art historian, as an artist he is a renaissance man in every sense of the word. In addition to his substantial gallery credits, his creative work beyond the gallery setting has included a wide variety of projects and media – from magazine and book illustration, to literary criticism, poetry, acting and teaching. Gerberding’s art has been collected by the Art Institute of Chicago, the Minnesota Historical Society…and privately by the late Patty Duke, Kat Von D., Judy Collins, Dick Cavett, Stephen King, and numerous others.
