MANHATTAN AREA WATERCOLORISTS – A
wonderfully talented and varied group of watercolor artists from Manhattan,
Kansas. Otherwise known as the MAC Watercolor Studio Artists. The work bright,
light, varied, eclectic in water color from many subjects and inspirations and
from many differing perspectives. The collection of recent work from the group
of 20 or more artists from the Manhattan region bring their individuals visions
to life. With new and fresh work. Always captivating and masterful. And often
straight from life. For newcombers and the serious collector. Introduce
yourself to the MAC watercolor scene.
Including works by:
Karen Schmidt: "I taught art
in the Manhattan Public Schools for many years. Now that I am retired, I happily have time to work on my skills
as a watercolor artist. Photos from my travels provide never ending inspiration
for my paintings."
Robert Frotscher: "Retired graphic art and sign painter of Billboards
with a second career in heating and air conditioning. My goal? To paint real
experiences."
Anne Marchin: "I started as a ceramic artist and have a BFA in
Ceramics and a BS in art education. I
like the looseness and flow of watercolor paintings now which shares attributes
with working with clay and glazes. I find
that the problem solving and spontaneity of watercolor fit well with my
attempts at expression.”
Cora DuChene: Self taught. "I do a lot of paintings of old homes and
have done work for Riley County and Geary County Historical Society of
architexture."
Douglas Teener: Retired from the Civil Service at Ft. Riley. "I love
to play with colors because I can't draw very well yet. It's fun not knowing what's going to happen
until you've finished.”
Terry Mulhern: Past Art Educator with published art work featured in
cards, calendar and book formats. "I think we all take our sight for
granted, having had many eye problems, I feel blessed to be able to still paint
who and what I appreciate that surrounds me."
And others! Around 70 works by 20 or more artists.
