After retiring from a long professional career in health care I now devote my life to art, which has always been a vital interest of mine. I have taken many classes at the Craft Alliance, as well as workshops at Penland School of Fine Craft and Arrowmont. Contemporary ceramic figurative sculpture is my focus and these sculptures have recently been shown in exhibits at William Woods University, and the St. Charles Arts Council. I have served on Boards of Directors of several arts organizations and believe strongly that art contributes to the quality of life for all who are interested in either viewing art as a patron or producing art themselves.

hat are your personal goals as an artist? A. I consciously strive to become a more intuitive artist and to improve my technical skills in order to create a sense and feel of reality through an abstract expression using oil paint. Q. Do you collect art? A. Yes, mostly my own by default. I’ve been slowly acquiring a modest, but credible collection of terrific fellow contemporary artists. However, budget constraints limit most acquisitions to bartering paintings between me and the other artists. I really need to be more aggressive about bartering because there is so much more art from fellow artists that I would like on my walls. Q. How do you cultivate your patrons/ clientele? A. I have been working for well over 5 years slowly inserting myself in the public consciousness by regular posts to my Facebook, blogspot and website pages. However, it’s a thin line between self promotion and self ingratiating behavior. It’s a balancing act between posting enough and too much. The images should be worthy of viewing, have some instructional value or have some kind of narrative. I frequently
post 3 progression shots at rough in and mid-painting followed by the completed work. This allows the viewer to participate in the creation. After all, painting should provide entertainment value to the viewer. In recent years I have acquired most patrons and workshop students by regularly competing in plein air competitions. Competing has given me a wider audience both in and out of state along with opportunity to access some incredible locations not generally accessible to the public. Gallery shows along with receptions are becoming progressively more productive for me. I have been lucky enough to participate both in both solo and group shows several times a year. With rare exception will I display at art fairs. Q. Do you have a Favorite Subject Matter? A. I prefer light contrast natural light and shadow. Pretty much any subject can provide me an excuse to paint. Q. What inspires and motivates you? A. Color, light, solid drawing, texture and some money in the bank. Then life is good! Q. How has your work changed as you developed as an artist? A. I continue to develop much better

technical skills in order to translate my 3D visual experience to a 2D surface. I challenge myself each time I paint by not choosing an easy subject or composition. I’m not out to play it safe. I always say “Go big or go home”. As a painter you should have control of the painting. The painting shouldn’t control you or the outcome. As soon as you give up control of the painting by trying to chase a safe translation of reality then it’s “game over”. Lately I am leaning more towards a more abstract vision at the far extreme of figurative painting. I frequently say to my workshop students “Don’t let reality get in your way - it just an excuse to deliver color and texture.” Q. Studio Space where is it and describe your studio what is it like. Do you work in your studio every day? A. I primarily paint direct from life at either a landscape location or at a live model session at various studios around town. I paint from 4–7 days a week. I have 2 studios connected to my house. One was just recently completed on the 2nd floor that has great nature light.
This affords me the opportunity to paint indoors and hold workshops even during bad weather. My previous studio now serves now mostly as a workshop and painting warehouse/display rather a place to paint.
Allen Kriegshauser —Artist Statement A plain air painter striving to create light through color I am a St. Louis native, Kirkwood, MO resident, son of an architect/water colorist father and a mother who was a master tailor. I am a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI) majoring in painting with a minor in print making. When I attended KCAI, the painting department was grounded in impressionist sensibilities requiring the ability to draw and handle color. Fortunately, prior to KCAI, I had a very influential professor of composition who taught me that an artist has the inherent responsibility to entertain the viewer.
13
My goals as an artist are . . . . . . to be an intuitive painter “from eye to hand by-passing the brain�. . . . to poke the viewer in the eye. . . . to make my colors play well together on the same plane. . . . to lead the viewer into a 2-dimensional space to place and time called the painting zone. To these ends I strive.

Q. When did you first realize you were an artist? A. When I was about 6-7. My father then was a syndicated sports comic strip artist. When he was doing his work, he gave me a brush and paper and I drew along with him. We had great times together. Q. Describe your art and artistic process A. I am always making trips looking for potential subjects to paint. I take my camera, a Cannon EOS Rebel, a sketch book and my iPad-yes iPad. I have a program called “My Brushes” which is excellent. It blows my mind what I can do with the iPad, not only on trips looking for painting subjects but in the classes I teach. When I am home I look at what images I have. I look at how they might work from a composition stand point. I pick the ones that I think will work. I look for color, light, shapes and patterns. I use Photoshop. I can correct the colors to what I remember or to something that I think may have more potential. With the new Photoshop CC which is available along with Lightroom from Adobe Creative Cloud for about $10 per month. I can do so many things. I do not use all of the capabilities. I don’t have the time nor the desire to learn all the capabilities. But it gives me so much more creative capability. Let’s say in one of my images that I like has some people that could make an interesting composition. But they are not grouped as I would like. I can take one
person and move him/her to the other side and flip them so that they are facing the way I want by using Photoshop. If there is a telephone pole or car that I don’t like and can remove with a couple of strokes and the program fills in the gap as though there was nothing there in the first place. It helps me to create in ways that I did not have available before, and it lets me see so much more about different possible compositions. Then I do my drawings. And even there, I sometimes go to Photoshop and their “filters’ for help in getting quick rough drawings. This can save me three to four days of drawing time and that is now man-hours available for the painting. Q. What are your personal goals as and artists? A. Always keep learning. Take risks. Try something new. Always want to improve and move to the next level. And do this knowing that you always need that challenge. If you feel comfortable where you are, then you will soon become stale. If it doesn’t work when you are trying new things, then you have learned something. Mark Twain once said, “Learning comes from the experiences that we get from our mistakes. You just hope that you don’t get too much learning.” Q. Do you collect art? Only my own because it is not selling as fast as I would like.
19
Q. How do you cultivate your patrons/ cliental? A. I send them notices of my most recent paintings, latest awards or upcoming shows and sometimes I have donated a painting for one of their causes. I give demonstrations to groups and organizations to introduce me to them. Q. Current medium? A. Watercolor in a realist style which is unusual for watercolor generally. Q. Do you have a favorite subject matter? A. I have two. The first is the area where I live which is Western North Carolina. It is what I know, and if you paint what you know the chances are better that the painting will turn out well. My second favorite subject is military aviation. Since I was a pilot in the USAF and I sold F-18 for MCDonnell Douglas [Now Boeing] I know aircraft. I do my military art for the military people for nothing because it is my way of saying thank you for what you are doing. I was appointed by the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force to the Air Force Art Program which is now on hold due to budget cuts. We [the artists] spent time with
20
units, and, because I used to fly, I often got to fly with them on training missions. I met some of the greatest young kids that you can imagine. We had to provide the USAF with at least one painting for each visit. I usually did 5. Q. Have you been influenced by what artist and why? A. First, Joe Fettingus, who gives regular workshops across the country, gave two workshops here in North Carolina and he got me to painting people. His two workshops and my high school classes are the full extent of my formal training. But the ones that I try to emulate are Dean Mitchell, Andrew Wyeth, Mary White, Winslow Homer, James Twogood and John Salminen. I am a realist in my style as are they generally. I try to see how they simplify a composition. I look at what and how they use color. I look at how they create texture. I guess I just look very intently at all they do and I want to know why and how they do it that way. Q. What inspires and motivates you. A. Look, I am halfway through my 85th year. There is not a lot of sand left in the

hour glass. I am not going to waste it. There is too much to do. If I can create something that brings joy to some one then I have succeeded a little. I also have a slight ego. I say that I wear a size 23 hat and a size 3 collar. I just want to do the best that I can in anything I try. I love teaching. There is no greater feeling than seeing the light come on in a student. And there is tremendous therapeutic value in art. I think that I have had every surgery known to man, and I am in 22nd year with prostate cancer. When I think I might be moving to a sinking spell I go into my studio and start painting and in about an hour I am feeling good. I have students that come in and are having a problem with say a mother or father in a nursing home and they are totally stressed. But by the end of class you can almost hear the air coming out of them as they are relaxed from that moment with art. My goal is to make to 100, be a much better artist and I don’t see any reason why it won’t happen.
Q. How has your work changed as you developed as an artist? A. I started reactivated interest in art when I was 34 and had just had a heart attack. My father also a watercolorist, came back to visit me because he was one up on me with two heart attacks. He said you are spending too much time thinking about yourself, and he took me down to the Art Mart in St Louis where we bought art supplies. Then we went down and painted for three days on the Mississippi River. After that I was hooked on watercolor. Then my wife’s daughter gave me some acrylic inks and I began to work with those. They were a unique medium for detailed ink drawings. But they were extremely time consuming to produce a decent art work. I went back to watercolor. I started with a loose style. But when I started doing the military art, I began to move to the tighter realism. And that is where I am now. I was recently selected for the International Guild of Realism. Q. What interests do you have besides art?

A. The Carolina Panthers NFL team and whatever else my wife tells me I like. Q. Studio space where is it and what is it like? A. I have to thank my wife for my studio. She was looking for a new home after we moved here. She found this home that was listed as three bedrooms. But I think they cheated a little on that third bedroom. It has a full bath [great for a watercolorist] and walk-in closet. I have no idea where the bed would have gone. It faces Northwest. It has two sides of the room facing the outside, and they are filled with two extra large sliding glass doors; so there is plenty of light. The closet gives me outstanding storage space. One thing that I did was to take some of the skirt hangars that my wife formerly used, and I clipped my drawing pads, tracing paper, sketching papers pastel papers, etc. and hung them on the clothes rod. Much more effective in finding what I want. I have an extra art table in the studio that I use when I am doing two paintings at the same time, or I use for one on one student training. Q. Do you work in your studio every day? A. Generally yes. I usually get a minimum 6 hours per day in the studio. But then my wife and I have days when we go out and do things. Q. What do you do for fun? A. Well first, the art is terrific fun. But in this area there is just so much to do. We are in the mountains. WE don’t have muggy summers. We don’t have tornados. It is very rare that a hurricane gets this far inland. Asheville is only 18 miles away, and I call Asheville San Francisco East. There is just so much here and nearby that you never want for something to do for the day. And the town where is live is wonderful. It is Hendersonville NC. USA Today about three months ago rated it #1 for the ten best places to retire in the US that “Nobody has ever heard of.” Q. What kind of music do you listen to while your creating? A. I listen to a little bit of everything but tend toward the classical and Jesse Cook guitar.
He had always wanted to be an artist but his father said absolutely no way. He went to Stanford an got a degree in Electrical Engineering. Shortly after graduation he married. Then they had my twin sister and me. This was in the middle of the great depression. About two weeks after we were born, my father got hit by a Greyhound bus and it broke both of his legs. He lost his job. He started drawing cartoons on cocktail glasses and Gumps - a big department store in San Francisco- bought them. That launched him on a career as a syndicated cartoonist. He always encouraged me in art. Second, and maybe the most important, was my wife. I told here that I would like to take early retirement and become an artist and she said, “Go for it.” Q. Why does the world need art? A. First, art stimulates our thinking. But I often find myself looking at art in a more parochial sense. I have done some research studies on the economical and social value of art when I was involved in the Mosaics Festival in St Charles, MO and later as a member of local arts councils. It contributes to the local businesses when people come to see local exhibitions and art fairs. People spend money for food and lodgings. We found that our annual three day art festival that we had in Hendersonville generated several 100 thousands of dollars to the local economy because it brought several hundred visitors from the SC, TN, GA and the eastern part of the state. Studies have shown that kids with four years of art in high school have higher SAT’s, less truancy and greater interaction with other students. BMW stated that the availability of the arts in Greenville, SC was a major factor in its selection of that location for its US manufacturing. That had a huge impact on the economy in that state. And I know that there is tremendous therapeutic value in arts.
James Scott Morrison —Artist Statement
Mine is not long. My artist statement is “I have no political, environmental or social message to any of my paintings. I paint what I like and I hope that others enjoy.”
Q. Did your family have any influence on your decision to become an artist? A. Very definitely yes. First was my father. 25

Patti Gabriel
Q. When did you first realize you were an artist? A. I had an early interest in drawing, but was rather discouraged and quickly moved to what came easily which was sports. I have a lot of physical energy, so I think it would have been hard to actually sit and work on art when I was a lot younger. I did not become interested in art and photography until college where I took fine art photography under Oliver Schuchard, a mentor and friend to this day.
Q. What are your personal goals as and artists? A. I am circling back to traditional photographic processes and re-examining the portrait. To simplify and get the essence is the goal.
Q. Describe your art and artistic process? A. All of my personal and commercial work involves people. Over the past 5 years I’ve spent time in both Haiti and India working-Capturing the essence of what is happening in real time is what I love most. When we are open to accepting whatever is revealed, it comes more easily.
Q. How do you cultivate your patrons/cliental? A. I still find referrals to be the majority of my business. Recent shows both at the Sheldon and currently at the International Photography Hall of Fame are giving me a chance to meet new people and good exposure.
26
Q. Do you collect art? A. I don’t have a big collection of art but what I do have is from people that I know and who’s work I admire.
28
Q. Current Medium? A. photography Q. Do you have a Favorite Subject Matter? People as well as a renewed interest in intimate depictions of more organic forms such as plants & flowers. Q. Have you been Influenced by what artist and how? A. I’ve always been drawn to the photographers from the days of 30’s and 40’s during the Farm Security Administration -Dorothea Lange and Gordon Parks to name several, but also to Imogen Cunningham’s work and life. Cunningham had to balance work, and family which is quite challenging, but she always made time for the creative side of her photography. Q. Studio Space where is it and describe your studio what is it like. A. I renovated a small building that was a bakery in Clifton Heights, a wonderful little wedge in South City just west of the Hill. Work space is downstairs and I live up-it’s a fantastic set-up. Q. Do you work in your studio every day? A. I’m either in the studio shooting a portrait or working on post production—-or on location. I find the variety of work interesting and move comfortably between portrait work, wedding photography, and commercial work primarily in the health care field. The common thread in all is a desire to portray people not only creatively but as who they really are, without pretension or overly stylized feel. Q. What do you do for fun? A. I love to cycle - getting away even for a long day of riding is how I relax. Nature is powerful and so rejuvenating . I have been taking Tai Chi for the past 3 years and this practice influences my daily life and attitude more and more. I am so happy to have found it. Q. What kind of music do you listen to while creating? A. There isn’t much I don’t enjoy to be honest, as long as it’s loud - anything from blues to opera, but having grown up in the 60s and 70s, the music of that time is hard to beat Birthplace Born and raised in St. Louis Current Home Clifton Heights Mo Price Range of your work: too hard to slot this b/c I do mostly commissions currently—-
Patti Gabriel Artists Statement: People are what really interest me. I find myself drawn to situations and places where I can explore and become part of the subjects world if only for a little while. The camera is a way in……a vehicle for exploration, both of the subject at hand and of oneself. There is a never-ending challenge to simplify, to get to the essence.

Kathryn
Fehlig T
he first time I thought of myself as an artist was in Mrs.Giles’ fifth grade class at Mary Queen of Peace school in Webster Groves. My family had just moved to St. Louis from Montana. After that I drew lots of horses and worked in pencil, ink, pastel and watercolor. By college age I was studying art for four years and 2 years of graduate school in Indiana and Wisconsin. I studied drawing, oil painting, printmaking, photography and ceramics. It was the 60s so I was only allowed to create abstract expressionism. No more horses. In 1968 I moved back to my home town of Helena, Montana where I briefly taught art in public school and thereafter quit painting. Abstract art was not valued in Montana at the time, so I temporarily gave up. But I owned and trained show horses and that triggered my artistic sensibility. I bought myself a good set of Rembrandt pastels and traveled around the state showing my horses and selling my horse image art for about ten years.
After divorce and losing my horses, I studied graphic design and eventually went to work in that field. Upon retirement I started painting again, but this time I painted the landscape (and occasional horses). It was 2003 and pastel was becoming popular after a century of neglect. I added to my pastels, took a few workshops and have been at it ever since. I’ve managed to achieve signature membership in the Pastel Society of America and the Northwest Pastel Society and have garnered my share of awards in juried national/international shows. I’ve also added acrylic paints to my preferred mediums in the last few years. Landscape painters in Montana are usually considered “western artists” even without the cowboys and indians. My background is so diverse that I’m not sure where I fit in. I have an abiding love for expressive and painterly strokes and good abstract design qualities. There are quite a few artists that I admire and have studied under including Richard McKinley, Carolyn Anderson, and Colleen Howe Bleinberger.
31
I am forever inspired by the landscape, something Montana has in abundance. Even during lean times I compulsively paint or design something, anything. My small yard is overrun by colorful flowers in the warm months. All my windows that don’t open are stained glass. I design my ads and website. I cook and sew and take care of my dachshund, Scout. My studio is in my daylight basement -- not exactly a showplace but I work in it almost every day. Painting and designing, photo trips, walking my dog, interacting with and reading about artists are my ideas of fun. My favorite music is classical and 60s folk--I think iTunes and iPods are miraculous. My immediate family had no history or experience in the art field and were not too encouraging. But beauty and order are fundamental to my existence. I’m not a political painter nor do I relate to the edgy aesthetic or the dramatic self promotion that permeate the modern art world. I will always paint what I consider beautiful and interesting in this beleaguered world whether it’s popular or not. It’s an high honor if anyone else agrees with my vision.
Kathryn Fehlig Artists Statement: This planet is an incredibly beautiful place. I’m fascinated by trees, water, landforms, rocks, sunlight and all the plants and animals that live here with their beautiful colors and forms. If I can create a two-dimensional image in paint, pastel or pencil that speaks of these remarkable things in an compelling and attractive manner, then I’m happy---I also love painting marks and color for their own sake. Born in Helena, Montana 1944 Lived in St. Louis between 1955 and 1968. (My father, Gene Fehlig, was from an old St. Louis family.)

Among other things, earlier this year we moved the state of Lewis and Clark form the Riverfront for restoration after spending eight years in a semi submerged state near the Eads bridge, It will be returned to the Riverfront near the North leg of the Arch in 2015 when the project there is complete. I also completed a maquette for a statue of W C Handy that will become a life sized piece near the new St. Louis Blues Museum on Washington Ave in 2015 The large project this year is a statue of Bill Bradley as a College basketball player to be installed this fall on the campus of Princeton University. this picture shows the finished clay. It is presently being cast at Ad Astra foundry in Lawrence KS. And, just last week we were awarded the commission to do a horse and dog Sculpture for the city of Town and Country. This picture is of the Maquette.

inspired by the texture of the soil on the farm where I worked in China.
