Multi-Cultural Portraitures
With a passionate and well-crafted line, Pamela Carvajal Drapala, of Yuma, Arizona, paints faces. She depicts the wholeness of a person's being through a careful study of that person's life, as well as his or her facial features. Her paintings portray a dignified ethnicity in her subjects. Before painting a person, she conducts thorough research into the person's country, customs and costume. Through this investigation she accentuates the individuality and fullness of her subjects. Her portraitures are a collection of multi-cultural identities. At times, however, she works completely from intuition, letting her portraitures take shape from her subconscious. Learn more about this artist at her personal profile website page by clicking here or on the image above. |
Rock Formations
of Rockdale, Texas
ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
My paintings echo my desire to fill a space with beautiful shapes. I am moved by the mystery that awaits at the top of old mission steps bathed in light, massive archways and doors battered by the passage of time.
I migrate toward rocks and rock formations in hopes of emphasizing their strength and beauty with abstract design and color, yet am still overcome by the tenderness of an apple or pear, and the elegant lines of a milky ceramic vase.
From impressionism to abstraction, I design my drawings and paintings using composition and color to fashion organic shapes with line and texture.
In recent years I have worked in varied mediums with emphasis on pastel and water media. My love of oil painting never abandons me, and I return to that familiar sensation when I need to reconnect on a deeper level with the reason for my work.
I often reflect on the thought
of Georgia O'Keeffe: "The painting is like a thread that runs through all the reasons for the other things that make one's life."

Assemblages
by Seattle, Washington artist,
Doughlas Remy earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Louisiana State University, where he studied art history, specializing in the art of the Renaissance. He did not begin to paint until several years after graduation, when he created a series of large abstract acrylic works while living in the Middle East. In the mid-eighties, Doughlas became interested in the art of assemblage but was unable to set up a studio (with the necessary storage) for another ten years, after moving to the Northwest. His first assemblages were composed mainly of found objects and industrial surplus, but he gradually began to fashion his own objects and to work with glass, plaster, foil, dyes, paints, fabrics, and other materials. Doughlas Remy has exhibited his work in more than 60 venues in the Northwest, including the Contemporary Crafts Gallery (Portland) and the Bellevue Arts Museum.

The Quilts of Gee's Bend
Gee's Bend is a small rural community nestled into a curve in the Alabama River southwest of Selma, Alabama. Founded in antebellum times, it was the site of cotton plantations, primarily the lands of Joseph Gee and his relative Mark Pettway, who bought the Gee estate in 1850. After the Civil War, the freed slaves took the name Pettway, became tenant farmers for the Pettway family, and founded an all-black community nearly isolated from the surrounding world. During the Great Depression, the federal government stepped in to purchase land and homes for the community, bringing strange renown - as an "Alabama Africa" - to this sleepy hamlet.

Production Costs Made Rockwell Kent Plates Scarce
(As run in Antique Week, Central Edition 1/8/07)
by Kathy McKimmie, Tomorrow's Antique Column
Within the Vernon Kilns' pottery lines (1931-1958) there's a particularly interesting story to tell about controversial painter, illustrator and writer Rockwell Kent. In 1939, the company produced Salamina dinnerware, designed by Kent and based on a book he wrote and illustrated by the same name about a native Inuit woman who was his housekeeper and mistress when he lived in Greenland for a year.
