His work appears in numerous private collections, predominantly local and regional. Olson says,”Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I have frequently revisited my roots for cultural inspiration.

These artists were invited to examine, transform, and interpret the human affinity to releasing, unlatching, and freeing the bolts and jams of every day life. They used metaphors and materials of locks, keys, and the treasures or surprises that unlocking reveals. We were honored to have Wayne Conyers, McPherson College Art Department, McPherson, Kansas, as the juror for the show. Conyers received a Master of Fine Arts in Painting at Fort Hays University. We are also grateful to Pam Morgan, Lincoln, for the invitation and catalog design, and Lori Brack, Salina, who wrote the artists’ introduction to “UNLOCKED.”

This exhibit is free and open to the public Tuesday-Friday Noon-4:00 and Saturday 9:00 am to Noon at the Lincoln Art Center, 126 E. Lincoln Ave., Lincoln, Kansas 67455. For more information call the art center at 785-524-3241 or visit lincolnartcenter.org.

Judy Love moved to the small unincorporated town of Zeandale, East of Manhattan, while teaching art at Kansas State University. ZAP, Zeandale Art Project, is a little arts community giving workshops, classes and gallery shows for the past 30 years. Judy paints with pastels and is featured in The Gallery of Great Things on the Big Island in Hawaii and by the Strecker/Nelson in Manhattan, Kansas. Judy’s pastel paintings are a collection of some of her landscape work over the last twenty years. She is also exhibiting a series of small, semi-sculptural acrylic paintings inspired by iridescent beetles.

Tom Leopold recently returned from photographing life on a small island off the coast of Honduras where fishing is their livelihood. As a veteran, he has photographed soldiers returning from war and the people of San Francisco. He is currently photographing a unique construction project on the Kansas State University campus. Leopold has photographed many shop windows. He says, “When the camera is our “eye” it melds inside, outside and reflections into a composite image. I see these images as almost abstracted compositions.”

Gene Sievers is with Kansas State University’s Department of Art, Wood Shop Supervisor since 2000. Porcelain and white stoneware are the clay bodies of choice for utilitarian, wheel thrown and altered pottery. An off white surface allows for a wide glaze palette. Sievers’ Raku pots are fired with an off-white glaze, so the fractal patterns interact with the contours of the form. Sievers says, “I strive for my pots to exude a quiescent grace and elegance of movement—exploring the space in and around them with a dancer’s proprioception.” He has his work in collections at the Sabitini Gallery, Topeka, Beach Museum, Manhattan, Yoshi Ikeda, Portland, Oregon, and Emprise Bank, Wichita.

This exhibit is free and open to the public Tuesday-Friday Noon-4:00 and Saturday 9:00 am to Noon at the Lincoln Art Center, 126 E. Lincoln Ave., Lincoln, Kansas 67455. For more information call the art center at 785-524-3241 or visit lincolnartcenter.org.

Shopping on social media gives you a chance to speak for a unique item you hadn’t seen before, or even possibly pay for it and have it shipped to you through our new PayPal account.

Klostermeyer began his career with a studio art degree from Bethany College, then taught pottery at Marymount College and Kansas Wesleyan University. Wheel thrown stoneware and porcelain incorporating a variety of decorating techniques, including carving, incising, application of oxides and glazes, constitute the majority of his works. Ken’s ceramics have been exhibited in invitational shows at Bethany College, Marymount College, the Smoky Hill River Festival, and the Birger Sandzen Gallery, the Bluestem Gallery, Bergen’s Gallery and Kansas Artist and Craftsman Association exhibits in Wichita, Topeka and Hays. This show represents a retrospective of Ken’s work, illustrating his use of a variety of clay bodies, techniques and glazes.

Prochaska’s paintings are inspired by a number of subjects but especially early western life, the first pioneers, settlers and cowboys. Many of these individuals have an emotional story that can be told though their eyes and hands. His goal is to have his audience come away with an experience of quiet introspection.

This exhibit is free and open to the public Tuesday-Friday Noon-4:00 and Saturday 9:00 am to Noon at the Lincoln Art Center, 126 E. Lincoln Ave., Lincoln, Kansas 67455. For more information call the art center at 785-524-3241 or visit lincolnartcenter.org.
