Come hang out for hands on play.

The creative process is for many an act of exploration and self-discovery. For artist Kimberlee Rocca, a self-described “Monday Girl” who loves getting to work, it’s a necessary outlet for a continuing stream of ideas needing release. When not designing custom homes for the family business she’s in the studio piecing together all the elements of her latest creation.
North Liberty is the headquarters of local media, regional financial and national transportation companies and home to solar energy and tech startups, and entrepreneurs getting their big ideas off the ground.

On exhibition are works from several collections including my recent Play Sculptures. Check in with the school office for access or visit the gallery during one of the many school activity nights. (See calendar)
I will be on site for an event this fall. TBA

“I am a creature of exploration, wonder and process. Remnants, bits and pieces that don't have a home, are destined for nothing or have been discarded generate in me an intense desire to create new forms of beauty from ashes and misfits. Very little in my studio goes to waste.”

Have you ever been to the Moline Library? I highly recommend a visit! They have reimagined their library to include a permanent art collection, rotating exhibition spaces and a fabulous café.
My work, as well as a collection of pieces from each of my 3 daughters, is on display through the end of October 2022. Stop in for a visit!
Happy Monday! I’m Kimberlee Rocca @rocca.studioart signing in from the Heartland in Solon Iowa💗 I hate to say it, but I love Mondays! My full time job is in construction. I design, draft, render and build custom homes in my area and my weeks are very unpredictable and sometimes downright chaotic. Sooooo…..Mondays always give me a fresh re-set and a new outlook for wrangling in all my hats. With 4 kids, now mostly grown, a fabulous husband, and a full time job building @roccacustomhomes I still manage to get my much needed and well deserved studio time☀️☀️☀️☀️
So yes, I love Mondays and this One is extra special because I can share it with you😊

I just dropped some works off at Quad Cities Arts in Moline, IL
The fabulous Dawn Wohlford-Matello will be installing the works today! If you are in the area, you can see it driving by or walk on the sidewalk for a closer view. I recommend and evening stroll to get the luminescent effects of the roll leaf foils:) This is a sneak peek at one of the 4 works to be on display.

Located in the Community Gallery
This unjuried show celebrates the skills, creativity, and lived experiences of the Octagon community! Let’s fill the gallery and surround ourselves with our own amazing work — established artists next to emerging artists, all media.
Metals have allowed humans to create buildings, wage war, and make art. Due to its resilient nature, metal arts can be traced back thousands of years, a reminder that people have an instinctive desire to create things, not only for practical purposes, but also for aesthetic value. The Fourth Iowa Metal Guild Exhibition is a celebration of the rich diversity and immense talent in both the Iowa and Taiwan metal arts communities. These disparate groups are connected by the organizer of this exhibition, Professor Kee-Ho Yuen from the University of Iowa. Professor Yuen views his own metalwork as an evolving collage of the influences of East and West, and this exhibition demonstrates his commitment to encouraging metal artists around the world.
All the artists in this exhibition have some connection to Iowa, either by way of having lived here or having been taught by an Iowa metals artist. The works showcased in these galleries range from wearable to sculptural and use a wide variety of technical processes and materials to achieve each unique piece. The diversity of materials and processes reflects the extraordinary range and creativity of contemporary metal arts.
Exhibition season support has been provided by the Hotel-Motel Tax Fund, the Program Grant Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, members of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, and contributors to the Museum’s Annual Fund.
