Jill Hackney
Q. Current Medium. Previous Medium. A. The current medium I use is oil paint. I learned to paint first with watercolors.
Q. When did you first realize you were an artist A. It’s kind of a funny story, but I think I first realized I was an artist when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old and had done a drawing I called “Gone Fishing”. I was so excited about the drawing that my mom even framed it. It was such a validating experience for me. I loved creating that so much that I was determined from then on that I was going to be an artist and live my life in pursuit of that ambition.
Q. Do you have a Favorite Subject Matter A. My favorite subject matter is reflected light. I know that sounds vague, but it’s really just that I love to paint light. Currently in my Echo series I’m focused on painting reflections on water.
Q. Description of your art? A. Visually, my paintings are about light, mostly reflected light. My paintings are visual meditations; they are meant to draw the viewer in and help to calm the mind. My work does not confront the viewer, but rather each becomes a vignette of how the world not only looks to me, but how it makes me feel.contains a bit of human objectification along with a dash of spirituality. I also do other work that is almost exclusively about pattern and design. It is all serious work, but nothing should be taken to seriously.
Q. Have you been Influenced by what artist and how? A. Many artists have influenced me. When I was in art school I fell in love with the paintings of the Impressionists (Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, etc…) and I also loved the Post Impressionists like Van Gogh, Seurat and Cezanne. But back in the early 1990’s I remember going to an exhibit of Andrew Wyeth at the New Orleans Museum of Art and really getting a close view of his paintings. It struck me how Wyeth was able to develop the beautiful tones and natural feel in his work by

building layer upon layer to create a luminosity. That impressed me so much and really started an evolution in my own work. Q. What inspires and motivates you? A. I am inspired by so many different things. Sometimes it’s as simple as a beautiful day. Sometimes I’ll be inspired by a thought provoking conversation with a friend. Other times it may be the music that is playing on my iPod or just some happy news that lifts my spirit and drives me to create. Q. How has your work changed as you developed as an artist? A. Interestingly this is a very tough question to answer. I have always been draw to drawing and painting what I see. Focusing on light, direct and reflected is where my vision has led me. My understanding of light has really matured over time, just because I have focused so much on it. I think what has changed the most for me is the technique I use to apply paint. I use vertical strokes and bristle brushes to create my paintings. The bristle brushes are a bit jagged and leave streaks, or “lines” of paint instead of painting more smoothly. When I keep the strokes going in the same direction, I end up with a myriad of lines that weave together, developing the layers of color and vibrancy that I use to describe light.
8
Q. What interests do you have besides A. I am deeply interested in my role as a social artist. I am the former president and continue to be involved with the organization NUNU Arts and Culture Collective which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit member arts organization dedicated to providing a stage/platform/gallery for creative living by facilitating community, economic, and artistic/cultural development. NUNU’s helps create long-term maintenance of well being focusing on social equity, healthy environments and economic stability. This is essentially—a sustainable ecosystem with arts and culture at the core. It is with arts and culture that we are able to strengthen social, economic and inter-generational links and to identify and maintain an incredible level of authenticity. Q. Studio Space where is it and describe your studio what is it like A. My studio is attached to my home, but it’s quite an incredible space. It is built along the back of the house and has a cathedral ceiling that peaks at about 30 feet high. It has wonderful natural light. Funny thing about my studio, it was originally designed to be a half basketball court. It’s about 750 square feet and even has a brick fireplace. I could not imagine a better space to create.

Q. Do you work in your studio every day? A. My work as an artist is my full time job. I generally dedicate weekdays to the studio and the weekends are saved for my family. Q. What do you do for fun? A. What I do for fun is an interesting question. I love what I do, so my work is fun! I really enjoy putting myself into community projects, meeting people, and working for causes that help to better environment and community. I also love to travel and am always up for a road trip! Q. What kind of music do you listen to while creating A. I really enjoy listening to upbeat music when I paint. I tend to use the Pandora app and have stations set to music like Salsa and Dance Q. Did your family have an influence on your decision to become an artist’s? A. My family did not really influence my decision to be an artist. Fortunately my mom recognized my interest in art and encouraged me by providing art lessons when I was young. Art just seemed to be a force that drove me. When I was in high school I auditioned and was accepted into the New Orleans Center for
Creative Arts. From that point on it was just full throttle for me in the pursuit of becoming a professional artist. Q. Why does the world need art? A. Art helps us to interpret the world around us. Art brings communities together. Art sometimes confronts us and faces us with difficult issues. Sometimes art is just beautiful to look at and helps us to stop and look at the beauty around us. Art becomes a visual documentation of world history. It can be really mind blowing when I consider all of the art that exists in my daily life from the glass I drink from, the clothes I wear, the house I live in, the car I drive, the bridges and buildings around me, the furniture, and just about everything man made has been designed by an artist. Is it all “high art” or “fine art,” that is a question that will be argued throughout time. It truly seems to be an aspect of our humanity and I couldn’t imagine it any other way.

Jill Hackney —Artist Statement When I see light on an object I see it in layers. I see not only the color of the object, but also the color of the light, direct or reflected and it’s impact on the object. e light creates a connection in the composition, each object absorbing and reflecting, becoming a mirror of it’s surroundings. I strive to compose a vignette with a sense of a broader environment and a harmony of positive and negative space. I like to use unfinished boards to create my still life oil paintings. The natural texture of the wood often lending it’s own organic layer to the composition. The brushes I use are just simple bristle brushes which I trim. The brushes, feeling like an extension of my arm, leave their own mark which help to create the pattern I use to paint. My strokes are vertical and linear, I use these strokes to paint the total composition. I have really come to enjoy applying the paint in layers, each giving more depth to the image. The layers build up lines of different tones and colors which help me to express the layers of light which washing across my subjects. Every time I begin a new piece I am filled with both confidence and insecurity. Knowing I have created beautiful images, I believe I can get through each new painting, yet the process is always daunting, like jumping off of a cliff. I am always in awe of the work when I am finished.

Ruthy Kolker R
uth Kolker painter and printmaker received her BFA from Webster University. She has received recognition in regional, national and international shows through an extensive exhibition record. Her work is in many public and private collections including Margaret Harwell Art Museum, Kaskaskia College, and A.G. Edwards. For the last 22 years she has been a part-time drawing instructor for the St. Louis Community College Continuing Education. Found objects play a role in her paintings and monotypes. Her abstract paintings and monotypes have a strong visual texture and are often inspired by landscape and natural forms. Combing printmaking with painting offers an exciting journey of discovery. How the two disciplines are layered help to create a strong visual texture. My paintings are often inspired by landscapes and natural forms. Pattern, texture, shape, line and color are woven together to transform the spirit of each composition. I invite the viewer to respond. These mixed-media paintings on paper were inspired by my interest in landscape and natural forms. By combining printmaking and painting an exciting journey of discovery can be reached. How the two disciplines are layered is key to the composition. Pattern, texture, shape, line and color are woven together to create a visual texture. I invite the viewer to respond. Abstracted cities offer a place of escape, a space for introspection. I want the viewer to be pulled in different directions, drawn into the real and imagined images of nature. The place where living naturally occurs can be interpreted in different ways. It is my focus to transpose the mood and spirit of each painting into a tactile fabric of paint. The viewer is welcome to determine his or her own narrative. Q. What interests do you have besides painting and creating monotypes? A. My family, reading, the theater, and travel Q. Studio Space where is it and describe your studio what is it like?
A. My studio is in my home. Once a week I go to Marcy Saphian’s printmaking studio. Over this summer I purchased a Wright Etching Press which now resides at Yellow Bear Projects. Q. Do you work in your studio every day? A. I participate in 10 to 12 juried shows a year. I am not disciplined but I do work often in my studio. Recently I bought a Wright Etching Press. Through the generosity of Gina Alvarez and Robert Goetz, it is housed at Yellow Bear Studio Projects. This is Gina Alvarez and Robert Goetz’s printmaking shop and gallery space. Starting in January I plan to teach printmaking workshops several times a year in their studio. Q. What kind of music do you listen to while creating? A. I love music and have a wide variety that I listen to from light classical, Jazz, light rock and country. Q. Did your family have an influence on your decision to become an artist’s? A. My parents immigrated to the U.S. as children. (Around age 11 my father came from Austria - Mother as an infant came from Warsaw. On my mother’s side of the family they were artisans. My parents were very modern in thought. My brother and I grew up in Atlanta, GA without any other relatives nearby. I never expressed that I wanted to be an artist. I was interested in speech and drama. I wanted to be a speech therapist and studied at the U. of GA. but I dropped out before my junior year. I believe I was born with unusual fortitude and creative ability which I credit from my mother’s side of the family. I was a late bloomer. I earned a BFA degree in Painting from Webster U. when I was around 40. Q. Why does the world need art? A. Art is a universal language whether it is fine art, literature, music, dance or theater. It communicates to all aspects of life. Art can help one look beyond your own immediate surroundings.

Did you receive a
mysterious poem in the mail? 19
Lucky you...
you are now part of The Poetree Project.
Here’s how this made its way to you: A month ago, St. Louis-based artists Mallory Nezam and Henry Goldkamp (that’s us!) began collecting poems from the public—people sent in original work as well as favorites. We then installed 1,000 poems in a grove of trees in Forest Park (St. Louis, MO), hanging like fruit. We opened the installation up for The Winter Harvest on Dec. 14th, a day for the public to come pluck a poem, and mail it it off in a pre-stamped envelope. Visitors braved a freshly-fallen snow day, and sent poems to friends, family, lovers, old addresses, and strangers found from skimming a phone book on-site. You were one of the recipients. SOW.PLANT.HARVEST.SCATTER. #thepoetreeproject Inquiries? thepoetreeproject@gmail.com
Why winter?
If it were not obvious enough, there is a great deal of purpose behind absorbing The Poetree Project into the midst of winter. This post is to unfold that molten & integral purpose, and to convince you that this is as beautiful as we know it is. I assure you, it will not be difficult, friends. As the leaves catch fire within the most recent autumnal force, the power of said natural decor is impossible to miss. We drown in winsome color. Our eyes turn to breaded sops, soaking in the falling gravy. This type of magic goes undisguised, nearly rude in its appearance. We marvel. We praise. But let us praise intelligently— stash the memory away for lonelier, more pallid days throughout the winter of contemplation. And that is exactly what will be provided on the day of installation: chopped thoughts to pluck from trees & time; piecemeal words with strangers as brave as you to face the bitter cold, and for what? To think of the quietude between your feet and the snow. To watch lifelessness reign from each small wooden throne, making life more meaningful as any sounding sign of it carries easily through dead air. To harvest individual godlings of wordage which flutter throughtout the once empty space. To gaze longingly at the temptation to wander another’s quixotic thoughtways that demand a closer look. That’s for what. I do not imagine it would take long to realize the words have always been there, entranced and floating, waiting for you, whether visible or not. Those words were always there for you, pining for your slow touch, bringing its future out of hibernation. Those words were always there. Words meant only to float again through the post, across the highways, into the hands of the nonexpecting and soon-to-be-inspired. And they have been always been there at their kitchen tables waiting with trembling patience. 20

ART VIEW What is Happening in Your Art World
call our attention to the fragility and harmony of the natural world--its extreme beauty and delicacy. Kuiper takes note of the incongruity of recognizing this and reconciling it with our current path of life. Appreciation and awe are strong elements, but we persist in our current mode, lamenting the impact, but unable to mitigate the consequences.
