digital drawing, 24x20, 2012: $950Carol Ann Carter has worked in intaglio printmaking, mixed media painting, fiber construction, multimedia installation-performance, digital imaging, and video. The objects and spaces I utilize suggest the creative field in which I play my work. It is a field of art and design where I practice movement and exchange of elements across boundaries. I am motivated by the dialogues among materials, intelligence or disciplines by a kind of character conversion where one thing influences or develops by virtue of occupying space with another: red and green pigment meant for a painting, find their way to a chairor when foot pain assists, over time, in the development of a shoe form. The field for these considerations is wide open. Carter joined the faculty of the University of Kansas in 1996.

The Other SideL04 JACK CoLLInS

paint, cardboard, paper, wire, 48x48, $3000: $3,000Jack states that his work is an abstract expression of his thoughts. I dont approach a canvas to depict a literal emotion or object, but rather allow my experiences, ideas, fears, etc. to organize themselves onto a surface with paint. Over the last year Ive had a couple life altering experiences over which I had no control. This painting and its surface is considerably more active than most of my work. This painting is Jacks most recent work, created for the Lawrence Arts Center.

mixed media monoprint: $2,300As a child, Jan lived on a farm, near a lake in Minnesota. The close association with nature had an enduring influence on her life and art. Gaumnitz prefers to be outside seeing, experiencing, remembering, collecting and photographing, than creating a work of art inside her studio. By investigating sources for new or old ideas, challenging new techniques and materials, yet following basic fundamentals of art, she works to present a unique expression in a variety of media. Her wide array of work is seen on her website, jangaumnitzstudio.com.

artists proof, 12.25x49: $1,000Rhythmic Transformations represents the life-cycle of entrepreneurship and innovation: the spark of an idea (lights); the struggle to find the right direction (highways); scale, motion, and forward momentum (gears, conduits, waves); success, experience and wisdom (tree); and starting over (seeds, light).

This original composition was created for Pipeline (the nations premier technology entrepreneur fellowship program) in conjunction with entrepreneurs Tim Lockyear of Beloit Solutions Group and 2012 Innovator of the year Kyle Johnson of Audio Anywhere.

Johnsons work is in numerous private and permanent collections, including the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and the New Britain Museum of Art, Connecticut.

wood: $1,650In a world driven by instant gratification, honest craft stands out as a

counterpoint to the frenzy rampant in our culture. Whether its furniture making, painting, jewelry making, or any other tangible craft or art, the process inherently requires patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to demand the best, most consistent effort from the creator. Furniture making demands my best effort, my most skilled and practiced work, and all of my concentration. I cant rush, work casually, or accept less than my best.

After graduating, she moved to San Francisco and worked as a graphic designer in the publishing industry.

In 2002, she moved to Florence, Italy where she participated in an intensive monotype workshop and further developed her skills and passion for monotype printmaking. When Eliza discovered the Lawrence Arts Centers John Talleur Printmaking Studio, she was finally able to turn art making into a more primary focus in her life.

latex, acrylic and oil pastel on plaster board17x21: $250Jen Unekis began studying art and design with an emphasis in ceramics in 1983. Her work at that time was primarily in clay. Still holding onto her love of texture and color, Jen began working in multi-media in 1988. Today Jens work is done in a two dimensional context. All of her paintings are done on solid surfaces. This lends itself to creating a layered, textural painted surface with an importance being placed on subtle lines, broad shapes, the interaction between color and the play of light on the surface. Jen lives in a little yellow bungalow near the river with her daughter, Adeline, and husband, David, where she has a business that provides decorative interior painting along with an art studio.

digital painting, 16x20: $350Robbin Loomas, an award winning photographer and digital artist, received her B.F.A in photography from the Kansas City Art Institute. She has her own photo studio, Sterling Image, in Lawrence, Kansas. Robbin creates paintings from her photography and does commissioned work from the images of others. She teaches this technique and painting style at the Lawrence Arts Center and to professionals throughout the Midwest.

When people look at the artwork produced by Robbin Loomas the first question is, Is that a photograph or a painting? The answer is

yes. It is a blending of photography, painting and technology. Digital painting is an emerging art form where traditional painting techniques and styles are applied using a computer as a tube of paint and a digital tablet and stylus for a paint brush. Beginning with an original

photograph she then use the computer to transform the image. Each brush stoke is applied individually, by hand.

I consider the camera my sketchbook. When I look through the lens I see the beginning of a work if art. It is the bones on which to build. Each image calls for its own special treatment. There is no one workflow I follow. Some images remain simply enhanced photographs with little more done to them than would be done in the darkroom. Other images become something more. I believe our roles as artist is not simply to capture what we see but to translate and transposes what is there.

Fortunately, modern technology afforded the opportunity to work with digital imagery and gicle printing. Soon I found that with the background that I had developed over the years of exposure to various techniques through exhibits, outdoor festivals, gallery receptions, books and manuals, etc. there were images in my mind that I wanted to capture to express what I felt as my art. The digital camera is the perfect instrument for me.

Ta Ra Dum #2S47 SUSAn grACe

watercolor, 34x44: $1,200Susan Grace is an artist whose oil paintings of figures and heads explore distortion, fragmentation, and repetition. Over the years her depiction of the figure has shifted from being representational to a more abstract portrayal that plays with a contrast between luminous fields of color and detailed, repetitious marks. The figures often occur in series in which their general form remains similar. However, subtle changes in gesture, color, and configuration give the opportunity for new interpretations of a possible narrative or change in mood.

Her paintings have been exhibited widely at galleries and museums throughout the United States, such as ARC Gallery, Chicago; Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences, Georgia; World Trade Center, New Orleans; Kirkpatrick Center Museum Complex, Oklahoma City; Wichita Art Museum, Kansas; Neville Public Museum, Green Bay, Wisconsin; The Kentucky Museum, Bowling Green; and Riverside Art Museum, California. She has received numerous awards for her work. Although she studied painting informally in Athens, Greece, her academic background is primarily in literature and theater, and she taught courses in modern American and European literature in universities in the United States and Greece before becoming a full-time painter. Her study of literature continues to inspire and influence her paintings. She maintains a studio in Lawrence, Kansas, where she has lived since 1989.

Whether created in a mood of discontent or of joy, my paintings are bright and vibrant and encompass the best parts of who I am. My art is best created in the moment. It is not sketched or preconceived, but spontaneous and raw. This is when my true self is captured. Primarily, my work is non-objective with forays into abstract expressionism. Using oil and acrylic paint along with texturing products, my objective is to create art that brings life to the space in which it occupies. I am inspired by nature and the cosmos, serenity and chaos and the beauty that evolves from both. With every canvas and every stroke of color, I strive to create beautiful pieces that will bring happiness to those who view them.
