Portrait of an artist’s life: Phyllis A. Eifert at TFAC Phyllis A. Eifert book signing to be held at TFAC
Tryon Fine Arts Center will host a reception and book signing for local resident, artist and author Phyllis Allen Eifert on Wednesday, Dec. 14 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. “I started this project in an effort to collect my work for my children,” Eifert said. “As the project developed, it resulted in an inspirational and moving piece of work that is biographical, technical but mostly intensely personal.” The following paragraphs
included in this article are excerpts from a recent review of Eifert’s book written by Laurence Wassong. “Her new art book “Sixty Two Years of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture” documents over three decades of Eifert’s life as an artist with more than 100 works on paper, paintings, ceramic sculptures and bronzes. They range from austere pen and ink renderings to sculptures that will forever celebrate the elegance and grace of her soul subject, the horse. “Rarely can one see an inclusive portrait of a restless artist for whom the act of

error, tears and passion in the fullest sense. She has studied her subject from all angles, felt its surfaces, probed with her trained eye, and delved into it with myriad techniques.’ “Eifert was an immediately recognized artist, even in her earliest school days in Lynchburg, Va. After college she studied art at the Moore Institute, the Pensylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the prestigious Barnes Foundation and SUNY in New York. She had experience as an illustrator, an advertising art director, a fabric designer and a source of collectable hunting sculptures for Abercrombie and Fitch. “Phyllis Eifert has presented us with the unique idea of showing and explaining an artist’s entire body of work in one book and in her own time. She includes her evolution and growth as an artist with vivid representation of her pen and ink drawings, her paintings, equine ceramics, papier mache sculptures, and bronzes. This handsome book begins with her fastidous drawings as a youth and goes on to explore the range of classic art from a gifted and natural artist. It is a rare chance to view her works together and for artist and patron alike, understand how an artist evolves. Eifert’s oeuvre includes nudes, still lifes, landscapes: themes and variations in illustration and paint and three varieties of sculpture that culminate in her evolution of and obsession with… the horse. “Life today changes so rapidly. Finance, governments, technology, science...all facets of our daily lives worshiped and demonized in the brief periods of time. But art, Phyllis Eifert’s art, is forever.” “Sixty Two Years of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture,” by Phyllis Allen Eifert, will be available for browsing and purchase during the reception

Owners find joy through holistic dog training by Samantha Hurst
Barbara Buffington staunchly believes in holistic dog training after an exhausting effort to calm her 11-year-old daschund’s anxiety. “It’s a miracle and I’m not teasing you,” Buffington said of her experience with Pat Thorne and K9 Joy Holistic Dog Training. Buffington’s dog, Mac, had been crate trained since he was a puppy. But for one reason or another, he developed separation anxiety last year. Buffington had taken Mac to Bonnie Brae Animal Hospital where she said Dr. Angel Mitchell had tried medication for the dog’s problems. Unfortunately, this did not work. The only thing that kept Mac calm was Buffington being with him 24/7. Dr. Mitchell eventually suggested three different dog trainers, including Thorne. “When we choose to cohabitate with dogs in our human world, we owe it to them to work with their nature and respect their innate instinct as dogs rather than seeing them as human beings in a dog’s body,” Thorne said. “Only then will we be able to convey a sense of trust, structure and safety that they will always respond to in a favorable way.” Thorne said she focuses on teaching a family and their dog as a whole, rather than singling
out the dog’s behavior. This is not obedience training, but an entire lifestyle change between human and dog, she said. Buffington said she was willing to try anything, as things had gotten so bad she had considered putting Mac to sleep. “We tried for six months and it was torture – every time I would put my dog in the crate it was like torture for him,” she said. Buffington said Mac would defecate in the crate every day. He would scratch repetitively against the crate floor, which caused his paws to bleed. Thorne decided to try one final thing. This time Thorne came over with a playpen to place Mac and Buffington’s other two dogs in while Buffington was gone during the day. After leaving the home for 30 minutes, Buffington and Thorne came back to hear no barking as they pulled into the driveway. “I have my dog back,” Buffington said. “Pat is just wonderful and she never gave up.” Thorne said the success she has had in training dogs comes from a focus on dogs’ natural pack instincts. Thorne said in a wolf pack, the leader or alpha wolf is the sole decision maker and the survival of the pack depends on the willingness of each member to fulfill their role. Being direct descendants of

wolves, dogs still possess a deeprooted pack instinct, she added. Thorne relies on teaching her clients four key areas in which their dogs look to them for leadership. Those include food, who is providing it; the walk, who is leading the walk or hunt; perceived danger, who protects the pack; and status, is the owner capable of leading the pack. “Almost all behavioral issues come from confusion your
dog has about what their job is,” Thorne said. “Most of the time we unknowingly send messages through our behavior towards our dog that tells them they, not we, are the leader.” Thorne said learning to master these four main areas will save a dog owner time, money and convenience.

Polk County Middle School collects 2,000 items for Outreach food pantry Polk County Middle School (PCMS) students recently competed in a food drive competition for Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry. Peer helpers sponsored a competition between homerooms for who collected the most items and brought in the most money. The money was used to buy out other homerooms so students had to bring more items in each day to get their totals back up. PCMS officials said the students had a great time competing against one another and raised $700 to be used toward needs at Outreach during the holidays. Students and staff also collected more than 2,000 items to help stock the food pantry during the winter months. - article submitted by Langlee Garrett
