Meet Our Newest MemberJoAnna Yarian

JoAnna has been drawing and painting since she was about 11 and has enjoyed doing art ever since. She

graduated from McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland, with a degree in Studio Art and Art History. Now she lives here in NC with her husband who is in the military.

She has worked with a variety of media including painting (mostly oil and watercolor), drawing and sculpture. Her heart has always been in 2D drawing and in particular, colored pencil. Her favorite subjects are people, which, she says, “have always been the soul of my work.” Since childhood JoAnna has been fascinated with storybook illustrations and illuminated manuscripts; both have greatly influencedherwork.Shehasfoundthattheuniquemediumofcoloredpencilhelpsbringanillustrativequalitytoherart.The piece at left is entitled “The Last Bride.”

Our potters Jill Dieffenbach, Nancy Edge, Guy Jencks, and Sandra Valdivia had a bevy of new work; functional pieces such as spoon rests, bowls, vases, mugs, platters, candlesticks, and dip trays were seen in a wide array of colors, shapes, textures, and sizes. A few non-functional but highly artistic pieces and some unexpected functional pieces like herb markers rounded out the works available.

Merle Prewitt’s colored pencil piece entitled “Stream” looked really cute sitting in an easel on a table.

Three of our Supporting Members entered pieces in the Members’ Exhibit. Noreda Hess entered two photographs--“BouquetofViolets”intheupperrightcornerandalso“Dogwoods.”NicoleMiddletonentered “Thorns,” an oil shown in bottom right. Laura Bernstein entered two oil paintings, “Moon Jellies #1” and “Moon Jellies 2” shown in the bottom left corner

We had some other displays as well. One wall had pictures our ladies painted during the camellia show at Cape Fear Botanical Garden. Rose had “Tea Time with Camellias.” Annette painted the two red camellias, ‘Black Magic’ on top and ‘Freedom Bell.’ Kathy Flood contributed “White Camellia.”

Another wall was devoted to mini collages by our Visiting Artist Sharon DiGiulio. A few of the collages and a close-up of one of them are above. We even had a mystery piece. During a “sprucing up” an old architectural rendering of what the studio might look like was found. No signature could be found; but in a phone call to Barbara Olcott she said she thought it was done by Melissa Clements during the earliest stages of the studio.

What’s a birthday party without some cake? This lovely cake was created by Paula Jencks, photographed by Annette Szczekutek and enjoyed by all.

Andy is a self-taught woodworker who never uses a plan or makes the same piecetwice.Hesaysthatwhenheboughthisfirsthouseduringgraduateschoolhe couldn’t afford any decent furniture. He tired of his furniture falling apart and determined to learn to build furniture that was not only beautiful, but durable. He uses beautiful woods such as walnut, maple and cherry and doesn’t use stains or dyes so the actual color of the wood shines. Most of his furniture is built using tongue and groove joinery with no nails or screws. To test his coffee tables for strength he stands on each piece.

After learning of The Wounded Warrior Project and getting to know a student who had lost both feet in Afghanistan Andywantedtohelpwoundedsoldiersfinanciallyandbring attention to the soldiers who serve our country.

Cape Fear Studios Main Gallery7th Annual National 2D Competition

June 26 ~ July 20Cape Fear Studios’ Annual National Juried Competition and Exhibit

featuring 2D artists from throughout the United States.

BEST OF SHOW: “Which Point of View” Oil on Panel by Evelien Bachrach

“Thistrip-tychisdefinitelyadramaticandoriginalpainting.Theoverlappingofcolor,varietyofedgesand spontaneity attracted me immediately. Not only is this painting appealing to the eye but it is thought out and fresh as well. I love the brush work and felt this artist was thinking about color and design throughout the whole process of painting it. The frame was also included in the image that I viewed,whichisusuallynotthecaseinajuriedshow.However,itissofittingandcomplimentsthesimplicityofthedesign.Thisisdefinitelyanawardwinner!”

This year’s National 2D Competition had 62 entries from 35 artists including 13 from out of NC; juror Dee Beard Dean chose 40 of the paintings to be exhibited in the show. Dean wrote, “I want to thank you very much for selecting me as your juror and judge of awards for the 2015 2 D Competition. I am honored to have been involved with such a nice group of artists and loved viewing your work. There weremanywinnersinthiscompetition.Inearlyalwaysfindsomethingpositiveandgoodineverypainting that I view: The very act of creating a 2 dimentionsal work is a wonderful thing...so in my mind you are all winners.” Dean’s comments about each of the winners is included with the picture.

FIRST PLACE: “AEFS #11” Acrylic by Bradley Carter

“This abstract painting has a good sense of design and move-ment. There is a freedom involved in this painting that is very appealing. The complimentary colors are a good choice and the entrance created by the dark calligraphic lines lead you to the fo-cal point immediately and helps the eye to stay at the focal point. The great design element is the main reason I choice this painting asafirstplacewinner.”

SECOND PLACE: ‘Dance of the Butterflies’ Acryl-ic by Ernie L. Fournet

“I looked for brush work in this painting and then discovered that the artist probably uses air brush to create the softness in edges in the painting..giving a photogenic appearance to the work. There is a lot of detail in the costumes and the painting does have appeal to the viewer. I would say the action and movement of the dancers is the main element in this painting.”

THIRD PLACE: “Pepsi Challenge” Oil by Patricia O’Brien

“This painting shows a lot of creativity in the arrangement ofsodacansandthenplacingthefigureinthemidst.Thecombination of the commercial objects, plus the human element certainly gets the attention of the viewer. One has to look at this painting for a while to get involved visually. I chose this painting because of the originality and the arrangement of the subject matter, plus the application of paint.”

HONORABLE MENTION: “Southern Gothic” Acrylic by Elaine Dowling

“The more I observed this painting the more I began to feel drawn to the emotional aspect of this painting. I like the soft coolness of the color that was used to depict a very old building and the variety of greens depicting the vines and foliage surrounding the old structure.”

HONORABLE MENTION: “Quicksilver”

“This artist has a very blocky, graphic style, using hard edges throughout the painting. I like the use of shapes in the painting....obviously leaning toward a very graphic style. The painting tells a story and has clean and vibrant color.”

Crowd waitingfor the awards

ceremony

Melvin had to wait a long time to be able toactuallypresentanaward,buthefinallygot his chance. One of the Honorable Mention awards went to Elaine Dowling for “Southern Gothic.” See picture on previous page.

Then the Mayor got his chance. Mayor Nat Robertson presented his Special Award to our own Steve Opet for “Old Indian” a Mixed Media piece seen at left below.

Steve had two pieces accepted into the show. The top picture in the photo at right is “Blue Boots,” also a Mixed Media piece.

Kathy Flood posed with her two pieces shown below: “Jen” a charcoal and graphite piece and “Afro Beauty” a watercolor..

Supporting Member Laura Bernstein entered “What Lies Below-The Hydrilla Infestation of Lake Waccamaw” created in Gouache, Acrylic, Ink, and Charcoal Wash. The environmental implications of her piece led to some interesting conversations with our members and guests.

Three of our visiting artists were able to join us. At left Gaylord Picard stood by his watercolor “Serenity” - the bottom painting.

2015 Summer ClassesJuly 6-July 10 Exploring Sculpture (Ages 12 and Up) Instructor: Felicia Maye. No photos were provided

From July 27-31 Instructor Laura Bernstein taught Batik and Tie-Dye, and from the photo it looks like she also served lunch. Students had to plan their projects then do the batik or tie-dye, and it looks like some of them even did a little sewing. This looks like a really fun class.

From August 3-7 Jeff Nihiser taught Beginning Oil Painting. In Jeff’s words, “The students are doing some really good work. We have each working in a distinctly different style - an impressionist, a realist, a post-impressionist, and one who has a Matisse looking thing going. Very diverse group.” Their diverse styles show up pretty well in the photos below.

Lynn Padrick regularly teaches classes on Tuesday and Thursday at Cape Fear Studios. Her classes include Beginning Oil Painting, Beginning Drawing and Colored Pencil, Watercolor A to Z, and Pen and Ink. Consult the website capefearstudios.com for details for each term.

Several Cape Fear Studios artists are available for classes throughout the year. Schedule a class with any of them at Cape Fear Studios, 910-433-2986 or at artgallery@capefearstudios.com. Nancy Edge teaches private pottery lessons including the wheel and hand building. Jaylene Nordgren teaches stained glass classes on Wednesdays. Brandon Bass teaches drawing and painting to adults and young adults. Kathy Flood, one of Cape Fear Studios’ portrait artists, shares her love of drawing through classes designed for the beginner student. The classes are for children ages 8 and above. More information is available on our website.

In Jaylene’s class students choose their own projects and work at their own level. Jaylene helps them with whatever problem they encounter, gives advice about what step to do next. Gina’s pumpkin is her simple piece to relax from working on her Tiffany style lamp. Robert is very new to the hobby, but his eagle is looking really good. Linda Sue and Curtis are trying to confuse the issue by working on stained glass kaleidoscopes. The plane kaleidoscope is a collaboration between Jaylene, Linda Sue, and Curtis.

Gail Ferguson spent three weeks this summer at William Holland School of Lapidary Arts as a co-instructor with Mack Thornton for three silversmithing classes. Students in one class learned to melt scrap silver, form it into ingots, hammer and roll the silver into sheets and then used it to create Native American Jewelry. Another class involved sawing and various forms of soldering to “take your jewelry to the next level.” In a Level III class called Above and Beyond students used various skills to include more complex stone setting and fancy ring shanks. Earlier in the year Gail took a course to expand her inlay skills to cutting complex angles needed to make an inlay cuff bracelet. Gail will resume teaching at FTCC in September.

Outreach

Several of our artists painted a mural at the Child Advocacy Center on Rowan Street. I am sure that it must brighten the day for the children who are served there.

On the last Tuesday of the month our artists assist residents of Carillon Assisted Living Facilities with a craft project of some kind. A recent project involved decorating pleated fans and attaching them to wooden clothespins - also decorated. Whatdidtheresidentsfindtodowiththem?Theydecorat-ed their doors and even their walkers.

In May the project was garden hats; it looks like a lot of fun and the ladies were proud to wear them as you can see from the photo above. In June it was time to prepare for the Fourth of July. Don’t you love the looks on the ladies’ faces?

“At the end of the day, conservation is about love, and art is the language of love. Art is what brings us closer to the world.”

Kierán Suckling, Executive Director of the Center for Biological Diversity

“There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous.”

Raymond Chandler, author of mystery stories including The Big Sleep
