Tammie Dickerson
Graphite Portrait Artist |
I strive to capture the emotional moments of life in my art.
From Kansas City, my earliest memory of coloring a picture of my mother's vase of flowers a age 4 was the beginning of a lifelong love of art. My first mediums were drawing pencils and charcoals, followed by oils, acrylics, pastels and watercolor. I have lived and painted in the historic childhood home of President Harry S. Truman since 1988. This home has been in my family for over 60 years and is an inspiration for my art. In 2004, I returned to my first love of graphic drawing where I find portraits so rewarding.

Carolyn Fox
Photography
|
I have a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Business Administration and worked in the business world for almost 20 years. I'm now concentrating on my real passion, my photography. Studying with well-known photographers, such as David Allen Harvey, Dave Black, Jack Dykinga and the late Galen Rowell inspired me to create work that creates emotion in the viewer. My philosophy is that to be a good photographer you need to slow down and let your subjects speak to you. Only then can you capture the true beauty of what you're photographing. Too often we pick up our cameras and "take a picture". We need to slow down, look at the light, listen to what the subject is trying to tell us and then "make a photograph". Although my primary focus is nature and wildlife photography, I also do abstracts, food, still-life and event photography.

Mike Lewis
Photography
|
Photography for me is a way to slow down and see things that I might otherwise miss. It is a way to capture moods and evoke emotions that get crowded into the corners of daily life and get neglected or forgotten. It's my way of stopping to smell the roses. It is good to think that others might find something in my pictures that they had missed, but now can remember and appreciate.
I grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and received a Journalism degree from the University of Kansas in 1973. I have worked in television news for 34 years, 29 of those at WDAF-TV, where I am the news department's Special Projects Manager. My wife Nancy and I have lived in Lee's Summit since 1984. We have two grown sons who both attended Blue Springs schools.

Ramon Magee
Photography
|
I favor black and white fine art imagery because of the essential use of tone, shape and texture to express the detail and emotion of an image. Some images in my body of work, are color. These are limited to images in which tint or color provides emphasis to the message.

Pat Thomson
Watercolor, Pastel
|
My objective as an artist is to create an emotional appreciation. Over just the past few years, I find myself more influenced by abstract color, form and value. The paintings still have recognizable objects such as trees, buildings, and flowers, but the work is less in representing true reality, and expressed in my own personal terms.
