Artists
Scott Bogdahn
“Art makes me happy today. Sometimes, I think about the bad stuff. Art makes me happy looking at it, looking at sculpture. My mother was into art. She used to build with clay, the pottery. She made doll house furniture. She mixed paint with water, puts it on a plate and she would paint with it. I used to paint on plates. I took pictures too. I’d like to do more with wood.”
Renee Camire
"I love paint. I'm making a flower. I like it the art. I feel happy. I like a paycheck. Oh yes, I am a good artist, that's right. Feel happy. I do art for two years. Look at magazines, get ideas. I do furniture - big furniture - I paint."
Donna Cluff
“I’ve been painting two years now. I’m proud of myself when I paint. I’m happy when I paint, I focus and concentrate. I’m painting boats and lighthouses right now. I’m good at it.”
Tom Dearborn
“I’ve been making art as long as I can remember. I do it because I like art. I like working with paper and I like book making. It feels wonderful when people look at my artwork. Andy Warhol is my favorite artist.”
Michael Douglas
"I like drawing. When I'm in the studio it makes me feel happy…where I belong."
Adele Ledoux
“Adele Ellen is my name. Well, I’m pretty interested and I really enjoy making things. Making scarves and making rugs by weaving is what I’m into now. It relaxes me. You’re doing something you like and it’s a pleasure to do it. “
Brian MacDonald
Bryan considers his art to be work and says, “I like my work.” Bryan creates his images using bold repetitive lines in artist markers. Bryan’s work often consists of cars, trucks and bear-like people with a variety of expression. His images have been transformed into stuffed fabric images, giving his art a whole new dimension.
Richard Moore
“An artist. I like to draw machines…icicles, power lines, ceiling tiles. Power lines, all over the place, filling the room with noise. I see them everywhere. My art makes me happy.”
Sarah Russell
Fashion is my thing. I have sketched fashions my entire life. I begin the sketches with pencil, Sharpie marker and paint. I like to include other materials in the fashion plates like satin, flowers, old things, and beads. I love purple, yellow, and pink and get inspired when I create. My design begins with me and I know when a piece is done when I feel it is done. When my work is going well I am filled with a sense of style. When people see my work I’d like them to enjoy it and hope they will buy it.
Kendra Sanborn
“I’ve been making art a really long time, since I was 11 years old. I find it interesting. I like painting with acrylics and using colored pencil, oil pastels, and charcoal. I love it. It makes me feel really good. It makes me feel like I’m in a different place. I like Vincent Van Gough because his artwork is like my artwork with logs of color and abstract. I like Frida Khalo because she transforms people into animals.”
Bob Simkowitcz
“My full name is Robert Cloud Simkowitz. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve made art. I love drawing pictures and painting. Art is something naturally I picked up. It makes me feel a sense of accomplishment. I also feel proud and happy.”
Joyce Worster
“My name is Joyce Ann Worster. I’ve been doing art for a time. I’m good. I focus and concentrate. I do art because I love to look and draw and paint. I like stoves. I keep my eye on the paper.”
