Thank you Ogden Valley; we love you! Local Artist Discovers Her Niche With so many mediums, how does an artist know which is right for them to pursue? Vicki Clark, of Liberty, Utah shares her recent exciting discovery. Each Christmas holiday finds Vicki creating a card with a themed pen and ink drawing. “I’m always Doug and Vicki Clark surprised to see develop their own styles my homemade of artistic expression. Christmas cards Doug specializes in turn- on display in some ing wooden vessels while homes year-round.” Vicki’s recent love is pen As a child, she and ink home drawings. says a homemade Christmas card was her dad’s favorite expected gift, and the idea continues to this day. In 1962, the Olympus High School’s art teachers formed an Honors Art Class to be held with three teachers and seven students. Vicki was pleased and surprised to be one of these students. She realized her works were inconsistent and she often was impressed with the talents of those around her who were going to major in art. The next five years were spent focusing on completing her University of Utah Nursing Degree and in beginning a family. “I felt continuing my love for oil painting would be a true distraction. Could I be disciplined enough to do more than dabble in draw- ings and watercolor paintings? Probably not. “I always encouraged my six children to draw and have fun with paints. They did not have color books that stifle creativity. I also love teaching art lessons to my grandchildren.” Vicki’s artist husband, Doug, has encouraged her to develop her skills by giving art supplies for birthday and Christmas gifts. “I finally had so many pens and pads of paper, I ventured forth beyond the cards into drawing homes—not just houses but homes.” Because her daughter-in-law insisted she should do a drawing of their home for their Christmas gift, she finally complied. She was surprised that the piece was challenging yet pleasant. This resulted in several orders, including the Seattle Home which is her favorite. “I also visited the grandmother’s Seattle dwelling and hoped to capture its nostalgic beauty. The foliage was especially fun to detail. It amazes me how small dots and imperfect lines combine to create a slightly fanciful illusion that brings joy to family members. They appreciate details that stimulate their history with the structure. This is why I have chosen to specialize in pen and ink homes. At age 76, I feel I have found my niche.” If interested in a home drawing, contact Vicki Clark at <victoriasthreads@gmail.com> Eccles Art Center Announces Adelmann Memorial Exhibit The Eccles Art Center, 2580 Jefferson, Ogden, will exhibit a memorial display of Arthur Adelmann’s “Tree of Life Series” in the Carriage House Gallery. Adelmann moved to Utah in 1966 to accept a teaching position in the Art Department at Weber State University. His tenure lasted 35 years, ending with his retirement in 2001. After his retirement, he moved to Torrey, Utah where he continued to paint. His “Tree of Life Series” were painted in Torrey. In his “Tree of Life” artist statement, Adelmann explains “Since childhood, I have felt a strong attraction to and a close kinship with trees, believing they have soul, wisdom and voice. They have offered me solace, have inspired profound thoughts and feelings, and have often been the subject of my paintings. In my most lucid of dreams, I was a tree, and can still feel the nourishing warmth of the sun on my evergreen boughs and the depth of my long, cool roots. This dream once convinced me to remain in Utah, a decision I have never regretted. My tree of life series is not intended as an illustrated compendium of global, social, scientific, mythological, and religious concepts associated with it. The motif is rich and varied and is included in almost all major religions. I prefer to slowly and modestly pursue my own visual and philosophical inclinations; my own subconscious promptings building a personal cosmology. The tree of life theme seems appropriate to my surroundings: a vast and magnificent land, sky and great profusion of rather squat juniper and pinion pine sinking deep roots into rocky red soil, indeed often into the rock itself. As I work, I bring my own meanings and symbols to the paintings. I hope that some of them will find resonance in viewers.” The staff of the Eccles Art Center invites you to view the memorial exhibit of paintings that will remain on display through June 26, 2021. Regular Gallery hours are weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information, please call us at 801-392-6935 or visit our web site at <www. ogden4arts.org> Happy Father’s Day! |
