Our featured artists for the month of November are Gary and Faye Kemnitz.

-Meet the Artists-
Gary Kemnitz
For years, my wife and I have enjoyed the creativeness of other people exhibited in art museums and art shows. When I pick up a piece of wood it seems to tell me what it can become—a bird, tree trunk, fish, etc. Using wire, I cold forge (bend it without heat) to form the wire trees. My most recent sculptures are carvings of fish and birds mounted on unique pieces of wood I find on my walks. If I can make other people aware of our earth’s amazing beauty, that is a joy for me!

Faye Kemnitz
I have enjoyed art my entire life! I have been an elementary teacher for 38 years and make it my goal to inspire kids of all ages to create with their minds, hearts, and hands—sometimes even their feet! I love to see how excited they get when working with paints, pastels, clay, wood, fibers, etc. I also love to observe how they problem solve and feel elated when their work becomes a framed work of art in the hallway.
I share those same feelings when I take time out to create my own art, whether it be painting, drawing, or creating glass mosaics. The acrylic flow paintings that are on display were great fun to create. I left them untitled. What do these abstract works suggest to you???

Wander though our great room and see these lovely pieces that will be displayed the month of November!
