To all artists and honored guests — We welcome our supporters once again to the St. Louis Artists Guild annual fundraiser, Collectors Choice. Originated by Joyce Rosen with a group of friends, Collectors Choice continues to delight audiences who appreciate art and relish the opportunity to get a piece of original art. Collectors Choice offers something for everyone as art appreciation varies from person to person. Thank you so much for your financial support and we invite you to help the Guild as a part-time volunteer. We are a quality art organization made up of wonderful people. Enjoy the show! David Zamudio President, Board of Governors St. Louis Artists’ Guild
A Thank You From Our Event Chair
Welcome to the 13th year of Collectors Choice! I am pleased to welcome our generous artists who have made this fundraiser so successful over the years. Some are members of the St. Louis Artists’ Guild and some are artists who have exhibited in our galleries. All have donated to support the Artists’ Guild in this successful fundraiser. It’s always exciting to see the variety of talent on display. We are grateful for the many donors who have been so willing to contribute to this event. Their support of Collectors Choice over the years has greatly added to its success. Some of our patrons have been loyal ticket holders since we started and many are first-time patrons. We hear every year how much fun guests have at Collectors Choice, and it truly is a festive affair! This major fundraiser takes the coordination of staff and Collectors Choice committee members. I am grateful for their steadfast loyalty to handle the many tasks associated with this event. In addition, I also extend a hearty thank you to Patrick Murphy, whose wit and grace handling the selection of names makes the day run smoothly. Joanne Stremsterfer, Chair Collectors Choice XIII

CB Adams www.qwerkyphotography.com I use cameras the way painters use different brush strokes. I am intrigued by the way light is rendered on film by different analog cameras, especially unpredictable toy plastic and pinhole cameras. I shoot primarily black and white because black and white decontextualize the viewing experience. I dream mostly in black and white, and this also greatly influences my perception. My photographs are almost exclusively full frame and in camera, with limited adjustment in either a wet or digital darkroom.

www.rsaphoto.com My goal is to create landscape
I like images that are timeless
images that create a strong desire in the viewer to physically visit the location depicted—to view in-person the scene laid before them and to be in awe, as I was, of the surrounding beauty. But, if the viewer is unable to visit that place, then maybe in gazing upon my imagery, they can enjoy the glory, nature, and peace of that location, as seen through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
www.mariannebaer.com Formerly using clay as her medium, Marianne now works also in fiber using “upcycled” wool. After shrinking (or felting) sweaters, she hand and machine sews pieces into new and unique table and wall art. Her influences stem from ancient and pre-historic artifacts and bold, graphic designs and nature. She loves the juxtaposition of unexpected textures and colors.

www.foundryartcentre.org/artists/ BobAllen.aspx I retired from teaching in 2003, and in 2004 I became one of the original artists working and exhibiting at the Foundry Art Centre in downtown St. Charles. After fifty years, I still find the process of making, glazing, and firing pottery very exciting and rewarding. My major goal is to make a personal statement in clay. This is a difficult task, and my work has been influenced by many generations of potters. I have spent much time developing glazes, slips, and decorating techniques that are uniquely my own.

Earth Present is the continuation of a series of mixed media collage pieces titled Earth Elements. The series premiered in New Mexico in 2005. The inspiration of Earth Present springs from the idea the earth freely offers us our life and all that we perceive. Everything we experience with our five senses in on a level a gift, or present, from the earth. These experiences come to us in many forms. Some

Taking time to observe light transforming subject, whether a natural or construct of man, is a privilege. Discovering value in all things is reprieve.

The frames are static, acknowledging and inspiring investigation of time and place as well as arranging order within our complex and vibrant world.

Allison Norfleet Bruenger
www.maryloubarrow.com The drama of a sunset creates a mood in a moment in time—it will never occur exactly the same way again. The same is true of an original watercolor painting. I have always had a love for art, as early as I can remember, and a great appreciation for nature and the beauty that I see!
www.alnbcollections.com I’m a mixed media jewelry and fine craft artist. My goal is to create truly distinctive wearable art designs that lift the spirit and inspire the soul. I use a variety of materials such as copper, brass, sterling silver, and my own original drawings and paintings to create my lines. Most of my focus is on nature and the female image. I use lighter-weight materials so that my jewelry is comfortable to wear and yet stunning to behold.
Cynthia Berg This painting incorporates braille sheets, hand painted papers and a red circle of never-ending love and faith. The dream of peace never dies.
Bob Bertram www.bertramgallery.com A professional painter, Bob Bertram is known for his dog portraits and sporting art primarily, but he also enjoys creating still life, landscape and figurative art. He is represented by several galleries and takes on commissions as well.
Lynne Beseau www.muralsgonemad.com Lynne received her BFA and K-12 Teaching Certification from Washington University and earned her MFA from Lindenwood University in 2003. She taught art in the Hazelwood School District and retired from Hazelwood Central High School in 2009. Her approach reflects her intrigue with exploring surface textures and the reflection of light and color. She has developed an innovative style that blends precise realism with abstract expressionism. Her use of vibrant colors and strong lines can be seen throughout most of her work, regardless of subject matter or discipline.

Tracie A. Bultinck Tracie Bultinck is a Grand Rapids, Michigan artist who works primarily in acrylics and oils. Life in West Michigan provides Tracie with such natural beauty that she is never at a loss for subject matter, though flowers (such as climbing morning glories) are a perennial favorite.
Monika Burkhart www.lupabox.com With an amalgam of light and imagination, I capture the vibrant rhythms and luminous colors of abstract photography. Inspired by the work of Edward Steichen and Claude Monet, each image delights the eye and pays homage to the unique arts of Pictorial and Abstract Impressionism.

www.rosemaryclaus-gray.com Design 23 shows a thread-line drawing of a double spiral. This design reflects my interest in plants, by showing their opening
buds and shedding seeds. There is an underground root system that balances the plant. The piece is framed, simply and elegantly, without glass. It is needle-felted and hand-embroidered, then stitched to hand-dyed hemp from the Mekong Delta.
Maria Cooper www.dayfancyphotography.com/ Torn is the first installment of my Madness series. The Madness series explores the different emotional struggles that individuals may experience. Torn, the first installment, visually explores the struggles of one individual with the desire to not leave childhood behind. The internal struggle, shown by the ropes tied to the body while trying to reach for childhood toys, is common for many adults faced with extreme or stressful situations. For some the desire to remain in a protected state of childhood is far stronger than the need to grow up causing a struggle within.
Elizabeth Concannon www.wsalabama.org/elizabethconcannon/
The art I’ve selected for this year’s Collectors Choice is one of a series about rivers in the United States. There are many blessings (in my mind) in living near rivers— and the thing celebrated in this piece is the city on the other side and the reflections that tell us how little we really know of the other side of the water. I am deliberately not specific about the combined sights—across the Missouri River, the Mississippi River, the Ohio River, the Hudson River.
Jerry Cox www.coxstl.com In my sculpture, I combine turning, carving, and construction to create a narrative about an idea or theme. I stylize the shapes until they only suggest the original idea. Always striving to discover what a certain shape means in its most basic form.
Penny Pate Dillon www.pennydillon.com Almost French was painted en plein air at Overland Park Arboretum (KC) in their Monet garden. I left out the bridge, because I loved the “Right-C composition” it made from my easel viewpoint and I didn’t want the viewer’s eye to go to the left.
The touch of red at the top of the “C” is always a landscape painter’s “trick” in composition strategy.

Deb Douglas
Mark Twain is famous for saying “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” Artist and award-winning journalist Susan Fadem boots that distinction further still. “For all those moments and times worth celebrating”, she says, “‘blah’ jewelry just may not cut it. Instead, it takes a statement piece to embolden the wearer and enliven the occasion.” A jewelry designer, as well as a veteran newspaper and magazine reporter and author of four books, Susan makes statements. With her one-of-a-kind necklaces, you will too.
www.debdouglas.com As an artist, I seek to develop a personal vocabulary of imagery and mark-making that speaks to my interest in the balance of form and content. Conceptually exploring the broad issue of domesticity with references to food, sex, relationships, issues of gender and equality, etc. by appropriating images and combining them with formal passages creates a subtle tension while maintaining an aesthetic appeal. Ideas of beauty— in floral patterns, figures (both human and animal), or botanical sources — are often undermined by an unintentional and subtle humorous, bleak, or dark edge.
John Dyess www.studiodyess.com My pastel drawing Pony Tail was drawn at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild during the Thursday evening drawing session, and was part of my series of pastel drawings shown in the members’ gallery this year.
Marianne Erickson www.myslart.org/profile/ MarianneErickson As a painter, Marianne draws her primary inspiration from the great artists who use words as their medium, from Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson. She believes that by translating the poet’s wordpictures into visual images, the artist, the reader, and the viewer stand to gain deeper insight into the essence of the text. Night Driving was inspired by John VandeZande’s magnificent short story collection of the same name.
Muriel Eulich www.murielwatercolor.com This is part of my Pearl Girl series, which I’ve been working on for several years now. To me, it is pure feminine soul and joy, and painting these paintings fills me with delight. I was born in Paris, France to a French mother. She and my aunts always had their simple strings of pearls around their necks. Birds and flowers have worked their way into these images. In this piece, white flowers make it a bit more of
Susan Fadem
Suzy Farren I am drawn to the raw, the unfinished, and the ragged. I relish the physicality of tearing the canvas into a rectangle onto which I stitch, paint, make marks, and glue objects. Through a process of adding and taking away elements, I create texture. In this piece, a silk image of a statue emerges from the background, even as it disintegrates into the canvas, while the frayed pages of a book evoke a bygone time.
Leslie Faust Much of my work is slow, highly detailed representational drawing or painting, and therefore good practice in self-control and discipline. Many creative people will tell you that they have an idea for a painting that screams to get out onto the canvas. That is what this piece represents— what I like to refer to as “recess art.” I call upon the basics of color, composition, horse anatomy and then play!
Ethel Ferrett www.lslartassociation.com/ ethel-ferrett As a 30-year member of the St. Louis Artists’ Guild, I have had a life-long interest in the creative arts. I especially enjoy painting in watercolor, directly from nature, finding subjects right outside my door in the garden or in the woods. I like to think of my paintings of flowers as portraits, everything in nature having its own individual characteristics just as humans do!
I love to experiment with all media and have won numerous awards. I am a member of the Lake St. Louis Artists Association, the St. Peters Cultural Art Center, and the Oak Leaf Artist Guild.
Mirka M. Fetté www.artslant.com/global/artists/ show/328933-mirka-fette Mirka Fetté has a background in architecture and art. This love of both the inspirational and the technical has driven her to continue to experiment in applying new techniques and styles to her art. Printmaking has opened up a whole new territory for expression. The layering inherent in printmaking tells a history for each piece. She sometimes enhances the prints with collage and watercolors or pastel so they become a multi-media production. The creative process brings Mirka a more peaceful, meditative state of mind that gives her the ability to present her perception of nature and art.
Steven Finnegan www.fineartamerica.com/profiles/2steven-finnegan.html I was born in St. Louis in the Dogtown area of the city, where I still live. My primary media are oils, acrylics, colored pencils, ink, and wood carving. Landscapes, portraits, and wildlife are among some of my favorite subjects to paint or sketch. Art for me has never been just a way of expressing myself: it is a big part of who I am as a person. It is something that I just can’t stop doing!
Janet Fons www.janetfons.com Painting contemporary landscapes opens new ways for me to interpret nature. I take liberties with the particular scene I am painting. My work starts as a real place I’ve visited, but I take the freedom to alter it. I want to draw the viewer in using combinations of color, composition, and texture. I try to give the feeling of place that allows the viewer to imagine they’ve been there. I use bold colors and strong brush strokes to create a lasting impression. My paintings depict favorite places from mountains in the west to big city parks and the Midwestern countryside.
Gail Ford
I enjoy doing plein air painting around St. Louis and Missouri, both in oils and watercolor.
Ralph Fournier www.ilovebernoudy.com/Ralph_ Fournier.html Ralph Fournier is best known as a contemporary architect who came out of the School of Architecture at Washington University, during the golden age of St. Louis modernism. Born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, he graduated in 1952 from Washington University, where he studied under legends Eugene Mackey and Edouard Mutrux, a partner of Bernoudy. As a young architect, Fournier was a “purist,” he says, and designed contemporary homes from St. Louis to Atlanta to Indianapolis. Now retired, Ralph is a prolific painter with a loyal following.
Karen Glines www.goodreads.com/author/ show/1670615.Karen_Glines Karen Glines’s background is in the communication field, where she concentrates on writing, editing, photojournalism, public relations, and volunteering within the community.

She has also won some of the highest awards at the Midwest Salute to the Masters in seven different years!
Beth Goyer www.bethgoyer.com Shooting photos in the fog gives me the feeling of being in other worlds. The edges of the horizon, of buildings, and all other things in that environment soften, offering

Franklin Haspiel Frank began his fine arts career as a teenage trumpet player at the Casa Loma Ballroom. After his service in the Navy, Frank earned a Master of Arts degree with a major in Music Education and Composition from Washington University. Afterwards, he became Band Director at Pattonville High School and Middle School for 35 years. Frank’s interest in the arts led to a 25-year membership in the St. Louis Artists’ Guild and its Art Section. Fourteen of his paintings have been accepted into the Artists’ Guild’s juried exhibitions. He has also had two shows at the Phoenix Galleries.
rain. Fortunately oil paint repels rain, unlike watercolor, and a determined artist can paint in the rain, even while taking the painting in and out of a car many times. I’ve found out that whether I’m doing a digital composite or painting, I’m compelled to include everything within my 180-degree viewpoint, always seeing the “big picture.” I am a retired art educator, author, photographer and oil painter.

Gonz Jove www.gonzjove.com Art has an infinite number of meanings — like our universe. Art is the elixir of life; it gives me the joy to live. Art is the essence of my existence. In my younger years, I believed emotions were the catalyst of my expressions but as I matured I realized that was incorrect. Today as I discover more about us, in particular our beginnings, I see how insignificant we are, but yet we follow an evolutionary universal law. The grandeur of the universe leaves me in awe —questioning our perception of a three-dimensional world.

www.artbybryanhaynes.com The commercial work of artist Bryan Haynes has graced the pages of magazines, advertising campaigns, CD covers, posters, and book covers. Since graduating from the Art Center College of Design in 1983, Bryan’s artwork has been represented by Bernstein & Andriulli (New York), Ron Sweet (San Francisco), and Foster Represents (St. Louis).

www.craftalliance.org/shop/ wood.htm During a trip to San Antonio, Texas in 1991, I saw several beautiful segmented turned pieces and immediately decided that I wanted to learn how to make that type of turnings, but wanted to develop my own style. The result is what I call “Basket Bowls,” which are turned bowls suggesting Indian baskets. I have expanded the early work from bowls to include vessels and pieces I call “Reversible Hollow Forms.” Reversible Hollow Forms are designed to be open on both ends and look good when displayed with either end up.
JoAnn Houle
www.lizjonesartist.com I am a native St. Louisan with a B.S. in Chemistry and a Masters Level Certificate in Art Psychotherapy. Many years ago as a student in the Department of Fine Arts at Washington University, I began painting in an abstract/nonobjective manner. I continue painting abstracts in oil, pastel, and watercolor. My paintings are unique, distinctive for their bright colors and vigorous construction. My work has been featured in more than fifty solo and group exhibits both regionally and nationally.
www.ruthkolker.com Lofty Flight III represents my fascination with developing a theme and transforming it. The assemblage of recycled materials assists in creating a dialogue in my monotypes. Pattern, texture, shape, line, and color are woven together to transform the spirit of each print. The arrangement and style exemplify the energy between the geometric shapes and plantlike forms. I want the viewer to be pulled in different directions, drawn into the real and abstract images of nature. It is my focus to transpose the mood and spirit of each print into a tactile fabric of paint.

I’ve been on the art path since the 3rd grade. In 6th grade I firmly chose to be an artist when I grew up and I didn’t expect to be anything else. I’m mostly Chippewa and Norwegian and grew up in North Dakota eating Lefse, saying “you betcha,” and braving the harsh winters. I earned my B.F.A. in 2004 from the University of North Dakota and moved to St. Louis in 2006. I’m all about continuous growth and challenging myself to think differently. Art isn’t a choice for me. It’s a direction, a path, and a magnet.

Stephen Kaye Ontario painter Stephen Kaye was a senior staff artist for the Canadian design studio Ren-Wil. Founded in 1967, Ren-Wil continues to pride itself on assembling the most gifted team of in-house artists in the industry. Every original design is uniquely crafted by hand and signed by the artist.

Jean Lopez http://www.jeanlopez.com/ I make images that illustrate the experience of the inner eye and the process of becoming more conscious. I am interested in the power of color and form to strike a mood and tell a tale, or to encourage vision, memory, or insight. I work abstractly and symbolically because I want my art to have the same quality as poetry, where understanding is rooted in the experience of the piece.
Julia López www.angelfallsphotography.com/ Julia López, of Venezuelan and Mexican descent, currently lives in Saint Louis, Missouri, and started delving into photography in 2011. As a licensed clinical social worker and public health doctoral student, Julia is able to see the relationships between significant moments and the candid, natural beauty that surrounds us every day. Many of her pieces focus on natural landscapes and abstract photography. She has had artwork displayed at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis Artists’ Guild, the Soulard Art Market and Contemporary Gallery, Old Orchard Gallery, and Empire Hall.

Glenn Myers
Debra’s preferred mediums are oil, watercolor, and photography. Art has been a passion since a young age, when she attended many classes at the St. Louis Art Museum and lectures at national Cathedrals. In her early twenties, she took private oil lessons, which continued for twenty years. During this time, she attended a watercolor seminar and it became passion, too. Meanwhile, cameras always intrigued her, and she kept snapping away. Photography expressed beauty in another way. Her donated piece this year shows a macro Day Lily. Look closely and ‘Contemplate.’ What do you see?

Shirley Nachtrieb
lamplightstudio.com My work is primarily decorative and currently focused on botanical forms. The simple gracefulness of plant forms comes into play. Plants are intriguing. My work is often asymmetrical, with simple smooth lines. I am influenced by mid-century modern style based on Scandinavian modern design.

William Neukomm
I like to make photographs and handmade prints of places that are important to me, and to share a sense of being there. This print portrays the home of nine barrels of whiskey, aging in a beautiful old stone warehouse at a Kentucky whiskey distillery. The print began as a photograph I took while touring the distillery with close friends. The print is a linoleum reduction print of nine layers using Akua ink on Magnani Pescia paper.
www.whneukomm.com I attempt to convey an impression formed in my brain when I view something through the use of traditional materials and academic techniques. I believe that the mastery of drawing and painting, acquired through the rigorous observation of nature, is as essential today as it was during the Renaissance. The acquisition of skills is merely the beginning of the process, allowing the artist to clearly communicate ideas. It is my goal as an artist to create works viewers will be drawn to because of their aesthetic qualities, and that they will appreciate because they experience a connection with it.

I work primarily with watercolor, but I also paint with acrylic and continue to enjoy my first love, drawing, in pencil or charcoal.
www.nachtrieb.com Shirley Nachtrieb’s artwork is earthy, organic and multimedia. She enjoys painting from nature, sometimes in pure watercolor, sometimes interpreting her images into collages using textures to enhance them. She works experimentally, painting positive and negative shapes. This painting, River Bank, was inspired by a painting trip to Arizona. It is full of color and inspired creative spirituality. Shirley is always looking for a way to interpret what she sees or feels in a more creative way.

Billyo O’Donnell I spend about 3 months of the year in Hawaii painting mostly on Maui and Lanai. A lady stopped by to watch me paint for a while and talked with me. Turns out she was from St. Louis and went to college with a friend of mine. What a small world it is. Many of these plantations’ shacks are disappearing in Hawaii.
Laurel Palmer My sold work includes house portraits, pet portraits, portraits of children, landscapes, and other various commissioned artwork.
Debra Pratt
Johanna Prinz www.johannafashiondesign.com I believe design inspiration is everywhere. Upon retirement I began drawing and painting, which I had put off all my life because I was working in the garment industry. While playing with some deerskin I had made into pillows, I decided to take them apart and make a bag for my daughter. I have always loved fringe so the first bag was large and had a lot. Everywhere she went, people commented that they loved her bag. Now I cannot stop. I sew all by machine and trim with antique beads and buttons.
Jane W. Reed In my works, I use colors and brushstrokes that I feel best translate the true essence of a subject. From still lifes and landscapes to portraits, I feel it is their entity an artist needs to express. For me, it is important that the viewer never forget that PAINT is what brings these subjects into being.
Kim Keek Richardson www.keekart.com I practice the witchery of bringing darkness to light. I’m an advocate of balance, a mirror, a patron saint of discarded objects, a back alley nomad, a connoisseur of trash, a painter of found objects. I think love is the perfect elixir. My paintings are invitations to journey inward and ponder your own paths or deeper universal truths.
Russell Rosener www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_ id=23972 I have been fascinated by optics and light since I was given a magnifying glass at the age of six. The movement of a figure through time, space, and light has held me spellbound. I explore photography’s unique ability to freeze, smear, and distort the human figure. I hold a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester N.Y., granted in 1993.
Naomi Runtz I have worked in photography for over 30 years, making prints in black and white, color, carbon, palladium, and Polaroid media. I like to shoot architecture, people and unusual things.

Tania Sen www.taniasen.com Blue jeans and Coca Cola once stood as a symbol of freedom— freedom of expression, sexual liberation, and freedom of making a choice as opposed to being boxed into an elitist society with meager personal resources. In light of current ongoing unrest and upheavals in the different parts of the globe, starting with the Arab Springs, uprisings in China against government atrocities, failure of economies in Greece and Spain, and the fuzzy boundaries of the global village, love seems to be the answer. Thus, over the years, Coca Cola has come to represent another set of dreams and destinations.
Mark Sheppard I am a local artist who came originally from Michigan. I teach, but mostly I focus on image making. I am currently working on larger scale works, which I am very eager to find a bigger studio space for.

Betty Springfield My objective in my photography is to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I particularly enjoy nature photography, which can provide some of the most dramatic settings in terms of light, color and form. I like visiting new places to get shots that are different or unique, yet Forest Park in St. Louis is still one of my all-time favorite places to go for photographs.
Barbie Steps www.stepsphotography.com Through the years I’ve considered myself lucky to have had the opportunity to combine photography with my explorations around the world. Spending time in this ethnic Himba village in Namibia and learning about their life was an experience I’ll never forget. I want to share with others some of what I have seen in the world; the little moments that, when captured, compose life.
www.barbarastjohn.com My goal is to communicate feelings and ideas without detailed realistic rendering. My paintings are my reaction to a subject, my interpretation of what has touched my heart. Bold brushstrokes denote action in a constantly changing state/atmosphere. The colors mingle and merge forming patterns. I intend for these compositions to be intriguing, dramatic and to command a physical presence. Through the use of thick, rich, vibrant colors culminating with the palette knife for texture, I intend to convey movement and a physical presence, bringing life to my paintings.
www.jeffsippel.com My recent work in painting, drawing, and prints has a direct association to my past background—education in mathematics and printmaking. This combination has provided a foundation for my interest in solving problems. My artwork is initiated through random gestures and passages of expressive marks. I contemplate the initial resulting composition before me and most often pause before I decide on which elements of the picture plane come to play in the final depiction. I employ printmaking applications in all my work, combining layers that often deviate from my initial intentions.

What you see on the surface is not necessarily reflective of what’s happening below the surface. We should all look below the surface and take appropriate action.
My work through the years has included oil and acrylic painting, ceramic sculpture, welded sculpture, fiber work, and my present emphasis, monotype and mixed media. Subjects come from things around me, such as home and yard, landscapes, and people. Realism is not a goal, as I would rather find new and exciting ways to express
Joanne Stremsterfer www.openstudios-stl.org/client_ page/joanne-stremsterfer/ On a recent visit to the lovely seaside town of Peniscola, Spain I was fascinated with the transparency of the colors of the sea and land that were confronted by these unusually shaped trees throughout the town. I’ve been experimenting with variations of printmaking techniques for a few years now, and found the combination of monotype for the background and silkscreen for the tree to be a personal interpretation of Peniscola.
Joyce Trotter www.trotterart.com/joyce Since 1971, I have been a photographer and my work has been making images. My major in college was painting, and so over the years I have mixed both media to create my artwork. Digital media allows more creative work. It is fun to explore art through all media.
Jim Trotter www.trotterart.com I am a digital artist and photographer. I create images with a high resolution camera. I then use a computer to enhance my images.
Joy Lalita Wade www.blackartinamerica.com/profile/ JoyLalitaWade I’m a realistic storyteller. I paint in a traditional, mixed media style. I find the physical, spiritual, and social awareness of the human condition utterly beautiful, and a balance that emerges from interplay where subject and nature alternate. I like to bring attention to people I think are often overlooked, to capture the personal human essence of a time and place in rich vibrant color and texture. It is a gift to work at my passion, it keeps me grounded, and the most rewarding part of what I do is that I always want to do more.

For more than ten years, he has been working with digital and film to create a body of work that is focused on landscape, macro, and most recently, environmental photography. Bernard does all of his own printing and framing using archival ink paper, and framing supplies. Now that he has time to devote to photography, he enjoys
sharing his photographic vision and creations with others.
Julie Wiegand www.juliewiegand.com I have been a working artist in Missouri for 30+ years. I grew up in the rural town of Chesterfield, in the Missouri river bottoms, surrounded by huge cottonwood trees and farm fields for miles. I currently live on 15 acres of high land near Berger, Missouri, in an 1868 limestone schoolhouse, Lyon School Studio. I express my connection, concern, and love of nature through my art. Many of my oils are painted en plein air, capturing the changing light and surrounded by the natural world. It’s challenging and joyous work!
Gwin Willis http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/ gwin-willis.html My mother inspired me to explore the fine arts when I was an older child, and I loved it. I enjoy drawing animals in charcoal and pastel; for painting, I started with acrylics at the age of 10 and now I have just begun working with oil painting. I like sporting art best of all, like George Stubbs and Robert K. Abbett.
Kay Wood www.kaywoodart.com Kay Wood is a versatile St. Louis artist whose work includes spectacular Polaroid transfers, mixed media, collages, and three-dimensional figures.
Dan Woodward woodwardartstudio.com Dan Woodward, an internationally shown artist, takes pleasure recording the quickly vanishing world of natural wilderness and historical identity. His current project, Impressions of the Civil War in the West, is traveling the state during the Sesquicentennial. While on display at the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, curator Karen Maxville said his “exhibit explores the soldier’s experience throughout the war, enabling the viewer to connect visually and emotionally to the plight of soldiers then and today.” As a former member of the 101st Airborne, Woodward knows firsthand what it was like to be a soldier.
Barbara Zucker My home darkroom was set up initially to do black and
