Theodore Rasmussen of Austin is the featured artist at City Hall this month. Theodore is a disabled veteran and started painting as therapy in 1989 while serving in the U.S. Army.

Most of Rasmussen’s work is abstract. He said he gets his inspiration from the great masters, including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. He worked predominately in oil paintings and loves anything and everything from the 1960s.

Rasmussen will show at the Austin Artworks Center later this year and has paintings for sale there as well.

The artwork can be seen on the third floor in the hallway near the Council Chambers.

If you are an artist interested in showing your work at City Hall, contact Teresa Kauffmann, public information coordinator, at 507-377-4380.
