HENRY'S COFFEE SHOP (11 E. 8th St.)

<<. Rhythmic Flow. >> Works by Lisa Doffing

Statement from the Artist: The images that are expressed in my paintings emerge naturally from the process. I begin by turning up the music, moving to the rhythm, and apply alternating layers to several canvases at once. As the random and rhythmic marks are made, slowly but surely, sometimes over the course of several months, the beginnings of images will catch my eye, and I build on them. The process lends itself to the concept of experiencing complete freedom from expectations while listening to the layers and the process itself. The goals to experience the fluid nature of life, emotion, elements of the natural world-- like water, notes, rhythm, beauty, freedom, love, and expression itself-- are always fully met. The goal is relaxation and freedom from want. The goal of the paintings is to liberate the mind of the viewer as well on some level.

I have been blind in my right eye from birth and am legally blind in my good eye, which is correctable; and I have studied the neuro-plasticity of the brain and how other senses become stronger as result. That is why I emphasize my love of music, movement, tactile sensation (because most of it is finger painting), and intuition especially. The images emerge like magic, and I am always thrilled to be able to discover more and more “hidden” images and messages as the light changes through the day and night as it plays on the paintings-- or as each viewer sees something new. Painting has changed my life, and my only hope is to share the love of color, discovery, and the natural world with others.

Artist Bio: I grew up in Wichita. I have degrees in Human Development and Family Life and English from KU and KSU. I began my lifelong commitment to the arts through piano, flute, and voice lessons and competitions. In college, I worked in the KU Arts Department for many years, and began drawing and painting with my roommates and friends who were studying Fine Arts. I began to take a few drawing and art classes in my early twenties as a result of their encouragement. I do not have formal training in art, yet I have had years of exposure through my work with KU Art and Design, friends, and close associations over the years. I enjoy singing, painting, and photographing natural settings. Aside from visual arts and music, I love to write. I have been working on stories about my travels across the U.S. and Europe, and I have been encouraged to submit my writing for publication by a well renowned author. I continue to write stories for children --for picture books--and submit them for publication. I would love to both write and illustrate picture books.

Daria Tessler: World Without Us. September 26 through October 26, 2014 (Open Daily)

Longtime Wonder Fair favorite Daria Tessler will be our featured artist in the gallery September 26-October 26, displaying original watercolors that expand upon her super-saturated, hyper-strange screen-printed universe. Tessler’s work illustrates her whimsical answer to one of humankind’s most vain and vulnerable questions: what will become of the “World Without Us,” when humans no longer roam and excessively zone the earth? In Tessler’s view, an ecosystem of abandoned plastics and unchecked natural growth will become the fantastical infrastructure of a wondrous new society.

An illustrator, prolific printmaker, and voracious consumer of sci-fi/fantasy books and science podcasts, Tessler is always finding new ways to press against the elastic boundary that divides creatures of pure fantasy from those that are stranger than fiction. We invite you to join us this October to enjoy a rare opportunity to see Tessler’s original watercolors, which often serve as the inspiration for her more widely-known and highly affordable screenprints.

About the Artist: Born in Finland and raised in Los Angeles, Daria Tessler currently lives in Portland, Oregon where she draws and screenprints characters of all shapes and sizes who adventure through jumbled, mysterious worlds.

PHOENIX GALLERY (825 Massachusetts St.) www.phoenixgalleryks.com

Phoenix Gallery welcomes artists Sophia Compton, Rhoda Powers, and Cindy Oliver this month. We will have desserts and breads from Wheatfields Bakery and samples of teas from exotic beverage lounge, Mana Bar. Darrell Lea will provide music.

Rhoda Powers lives and creates in Parkville, MO and has been a full time mixed media artist in the metropolitan Kansas City area over the past several years. Always looking for ways to differentiate herself, you will find much of her work highly textured and dimensional. Working with clients to bring their ideas into reality is one of her favorite things to do, and Rhoda often has the opportunity to collaborate with other talented artists in the area to create the perfect piece.

As a Lawrence textile artist, it is painting that makes Sophia Compton’s heart sing. Although she has worked in a variety of media in the S. F. Bay area the past 30 years, her focus is wearable art. A few years ago she transferred her love of watercolor to silk, which is the only fabric that lends itself to watercolor effects. There is something about taking a piece of white cloth and filling it with color! Some of her pieces can be hung like 2-D art, but silks that one can wear gives her more opportunities to see them continually being enjoyed by people.

Cindy Oliver is a mixed-media artist in Lawrence, Kansas. Following a jewelry class that introduced her to wire for beading, she discovered its potential as a 3-dimensional line for drawing/sculpting and connecting objects. She is intrigued with found objects and their innate mystery, and connects these with wire to create art that sparks the imagination of the viewers. Her whimsical style and expressiveness is inspired by nature and human nature, and is also a way to meditatively work out ideas and issues in daily life.

Be sure to come out and see Darrell Lea, a well-known singer, guitarist, and song-writer from Lawrence, KS.

PHOENIX GALLERY UNDERGROUND (825 Massachusetts St.) www.phoenixgalleryks.com Phoenix Underground is excited to have Becky Drager here for this month’s Final Friday Art Walk. Topeka artist Becky Drager graduated from Colorado State University with a BFA degree majoring in graphic design. In 2011, after 20 years of working in the graphics field, Becky returned to her home state of Kansas and began painting full time. From Becky: “Preparing for my first solo show, Prairie Structures: Natural and Man-made, has been an exciting journey of capturing the beauty of our Kansas prairie and the structures that mostly go unnoticed as we live our daily lives. Inspired by my Topeka Building series where I did paintings of historic buildings and landmarks, I decided I wanted to take this successful idea and expand on it to include hidden gems that can be found throughout our urban and rural backyards. This new endeavor took me down miles and miles of Kansas’ country roads as I looked for those quaint historic main streets, stone buildings, modern and old windmills, grain elevators, cows and more. These paintings are meant to inspire the viewer to see the ordinary and what we take for granted in a new way by bringing them into the foreground of our lives. Using super-saturated colors and a modern graphic look, I make the native limestone, brick, metal or animals pop with energizing life by injecting the painting with inspirational color that enhances the beauty of the object whether it is natural or man-made. My hope is that these works of art excite the viewer to explore and see our country roots and fall in love with the urban and rural beauty of our historic downtowns, silos, roads, and natural ecosystem because these Prairie Structures are what make us truly Kansans.”

Final Fridays at Essential Goods | Jeannette Bryant

Please join us Friday, September 26th at the opening reception for artist Jeannette Bryant of Another Girl for Final Friday Art Walk in Downtown Lawrence! We are excited to welcome her back for another Final Friday at Essential Goods. Her work will be up through the month of October.

About The Artist Jeannette Ewbank-Bryant of Another Girl is a life-long Kansan. Born and raised in Hutchinson, Jeannette fell in love with Lawrence while attending the University of Kansas. After living three years in Holton while teaching at the high school, she returned to Lawrence and taught English and Journalism at Eudora High for 29 years. She retired in 2010 has been enjoying making jewelry and prints when she isn't napping.

Much of Jeannette's artwork is designed on the computer and then enhanced and transferred to mat board or wood. Her creations include jewelry, plaques, ornaments, and collages. She also designs party and wedding invitations, birth announcements, and stationery.

One of Jeannette's favorite pastimes is photoshopping animal heads onto human bodies (because she can!). Her work is often described as whimsical, funny, or just plain bizarre. Your call.

Jeannette is a participant in the annual Bizarre Bazaar; her work has also been featured at Stitch On in Lawrence, Junque Drawer Boutique in Olathe, and the Brandywine River Antiques Market in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. She has had her work at Essential Goods for over two years.

TEN THOUSAND VILLAGES (835 Massachusetts St.)

Ramon Valdez Ramon Valdez paints with every color he can find, whether it’s in nature or not, from portraits to pages torn from imaginary children’s books, hoping to elevate the medium past the preconceived notions of what people think watercolor is. His images try to express that watercolor is not a quiet and muted thing, but a vibrant and loud medium that screams to be noticed. His work has been exhibited in galleries locally and nationally. Growing up in Garden City, Kansas, Ramon uses the influences of a small-town upbringing, story-telling, and music to infuse his paintings with life. The artist currently resides in Overland Park, Kansas. His work can be previewed at fwordsart.see.me and www.fwordsart.tumblr.com

FOXTROT (823 Massachusetts St.)

Wendy Kim-Luellen and Melissa Parsons share a philosophy that fabrics used everyday should be beautiful and a little luxury makes everything better. They partnered to form Made to Wear Accessories, specializing in one-of-a-kind items that convey this philosophy. Wendy makes scarves and cowls using a combination of machine and hand knitting techniques. Melissa makes handwoven and dyed scarves. Their collection uses Merino wool, cashmere, silk, alpaca, mohair, and rayon chenille in classic designs that have to be worn to be appreciated. Whether you are looking for a warm layer to wear in a chilly office, an accent for a special-occasion outfit, or the final touch for a man's dress coat, you'll find it here.

YANTRA (840 Massachusetts St.)

SeedCo Studios Group Show SeedCo Studios is a group workspace currently based in the Warehouse Arts District in East Lawrence, Kansas, founded and run by members of the Fresh Produce Art Collective. Aiming to provide a space to create and collaborate through a multitude of platforms, primarily visual, sonic, and performance-based art forms. Although the styles range from contemporary mixed media to pop surrealism, 'outsider' and neo-classical realism, the unifying factor among the visual work represented is the depth to which each individual has committed to their own personal vision. Somehow, within this diversity, threads of similarity seem to weave through the pieces when collected and shown together. A sense of rhythm and intention apart from any singular expression emerges, like companion plants interacting, co-creating harmony within the garden, making the whole, as they say, greater than the sum of its parts.

LETA STROM BACKDOOR PHOTOS During her travels with her husband Steve, Leta Strom utilized traditional and modern photographic techniques to create canvas pieces that capture the charm and distinctiveness of various locales in Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Her photo company, “Backdoor Photo,” takes its name from the approach that Steve and Leta chose in planning their European adventure. Rather than visiting a great many large cities, they chose to enter the countries through the ‘backdoor,’ wandering along winding cobblestone streets, becoming lost in the centuries-old charm of the villages and falling in step with the daily lives of locals. It is Leta’s hope that as you view her photos, you may become lost in the enchanting appeal of these European spots. Leta Strom has been involved in the Arts and working with young people for over twenty-five years. She taught high school drama and students with special needs. Leta resides in Lawrence, Kansas with her husband, Steve, and enjoys spending time with her daughters, Lauren and Kristin.

FINAL FRIDAY EVENTS IN THE WAREHOUSE ARTS DISTRICT

CIDER GALLERY (810 Pennsylvania St.) www.cidergallery.com

Frauke Klatt: Journey

The Cider Gallery is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the partnership of the sister cities, Lawrence and Eutin, Germany, with an international exhibition “Frauke Klatt: Journey” This past July, three representatives from Lawrence visited an exhibition of Klatt’s work in Germany and were inspired to bring the artist to Lawrence to connect the two cities and educate Lawrence about this striking port city. Klatt’s textural pieces capture her sensations of life on the Baltic Sea and often her love of sailing. In her solo exhibition, Frauke Klatt will show several of her large acrylic paintings that express her passion of sailing the sensations she feels on the Baltic Sea. The motifs Klatt uses are often reduced to outlines of sailboats, against the light glittering water and a bleak gray sky. She experiments with the relationship between sky and water, or sky and ground, often merging the two elements in a cubist manner. Klatt has had solo exhibitions in Dubai, London, Denia, Spain, Switzerland and Malta near the Mediterranean Sea. Her paintings have been shown in several museums and maritime galleries in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Spain.

Bio and Statement: Frauke Klatt was born in Luebeck, Germany and educated at the Katharineum in Luebeck. She furthered her education at the University of Hamburg until 1980. Frauke has been an enthusiastic sailor for the last forty years, and has always been devoted to her own art as well as making art with her three sons.

Frauke Klatt has managed to integrate the impressions left by sailing and living near the water in her paintings. The representations lie nestled between abstraction and realism. Despite the fact that she has often reduced the theme of sailing to the simple triangular form of a boat’s sail, her pictures are astonishingly explicit and complex.

FINAL FRIDAY AT KU

WOODRUFF AUDITORIUM AT THE KANSAS UNION Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation 7:30 pm: meet and greet with FMS faculty, staff, alum and grad students 8 pm: movie followed by a conversation with Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala In 1982, eleven-year-old Chris Strompolos asked twelve-year-old Eric Zala a question: “Would you like to help me do a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark? I’m playing Indiana Jones.”

It took seven years but they actually did it— A shot-for-shot, fully costumed recreation of Steven Spielberg’s $20 million blockbuster made in the back yards and basements of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Now considered a cult classic, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION epitomizes the perseverance and creative spirit behind fan filmmaking. As of 2014, Chris and Eric have shared this adventure in over 100 cinemas, universities, and film workshops around the world.
