“ART IS A UNIVERSAL FORM OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION” My
process of working is contemplative in nature. Although the work I
produce might appear to be simple or fresh at first glance, I spend
much of my time figuring out how to make it appear this way. An
expressive line drawn by a brush has a quality of spontaneity about it
but in fact it takes deep understanding of my intentions to make the
line contain it’s message.

Cast Colored Paper Pulp
Cast Colored Paper Pulp
Casting colored paper pulp Jerry finds challenging with outcomes that
don’t always replicate his initial vision. The process is done with
shredded and soaked colored paper and blended to a pulp. Each
variant color of the pulp is carefully poured to his design
specifications on a screen and when set turned over to reveal the
final product. Jerry’s design continues to flow from the pulp art to the
frame, which he individually designs to suit each piece.

Minatures to Metaphors
Making art is the vehicle I use to maneuver through my interior life. My
art is the place in my heart where I am able to make connections
between the physical and the spiritual; the interior and the exterior; the
personal dream and the larger vision of the community.

I utilize visual motifs of mass media in my work. Many pieces utilize
the motion picture letterbox format to place and elevate the subjects
into a format typically reserve for movie stars. The use of hyper- color
in images originally taken in black and white symbolizes the
Technicolor vocabulary inwhich we currently view the world. This is
a response to the motion picture "The Wizard of Oz", where
Hollywood forever doomed Kansas to sepia brown.

The foundation for my art is deeply rooted in my respect and
admiration for nature. Gourds appeal tome because they are a
completely natural product, seemingly waiting to be enhanced. They
are, in my mind, “nature’s organic pottery.”

Larry incorporates everyday tools and discarded items where form
and function are inextricably linked. The.subject matter may be
utilitarian, but his metamorphosis of objects into art appeals to us on a
primal level. Larry’s works are in response to his environment of
forgotten objects, transforming their form and shape into amazing
textural sculptures.

.Michael combines his passion for art with a lifelong fascination with
the weather. When Michael paints subject matter as diverse as an
oncoming thunderstorm or a simple far-off cloud, he likes to intensify
the scene, creating drama by using sharp contrasts between colors
and sometimes between styles.
