FIRST FRIDAYS in Skippack Village: ARTIST - Jacqueline ter Kuile / Gallery Opening / November 1st, 2013

 Artist Jacqueline ter Kuile

Jacqueline ter Kuile has been designing jewelry since 1978.  Working with self-referencing themes, Jacqueline’s collections range from classic inspirational jewelry fabricated from sterling silver and gold with precious stones, to hip and funky earrings created from recycled vintage tins. “My spiritual jewelry is pared down and quiet, while my recycled pieces are more about fun and expressing creativity and resourcefulness.  I am devoted to fine craftsmanship and finish, everything I make is designed to last a lifetime.  I just love seeing someone wearing one of my pieces.  I will say; “That’s cool!  I made that?” In her career she has worked as a gallery owner and curator, a museum administrator and professor at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, teaching Fine Arts 3D.  Jacqueline lives and works in Harleysville, PA.

A gallery reception will be held on November 1st from 5 - 9pm during
First Fridays in Skippack.  For past, current, and future art exhibitions, click here.

FIRST FRIDAYS in Skippack Village: ARTIST - JoAnn Moy / Gallery Opening / November 1st, 2013

Artist JoAnn Moy

Statement:  I think of objects in terms of their form as well as their function; breaking items down into shape and color, subtle gradients and contrasting shades. I seek to explore edges and the shadows they can create. Often when I think of what might live on my next canvas, I first look at the shadows. The shadows are as alive as the plants and flowers you will find in some of my work.

I build up tactile layers of paint gradually, while building up visual layers between foreground and background. Beginning with thin washes of oil color, turpentine and linseed oil, I sketch out the subject matter keeping in mind that one thing’s configuration affects another’s shape and shadows. The process has to be amorphic in that there is no one single path. As the piece grows with each level the image become more intelligible. My goal though is not to be photographic, but rather impressionistic.

My intention is to open a visual communication between myself and you, the viewer; I want to keep you engaged and your imagination active. Ultimately you will become a collaborator in the work as your ideas about my art develop and grow.

FIRST FRIDAYS in Skippack Village: ARTIST - Frank Rauscher / Gallery Opening / September 6th, 2013

Artist Frank Rauscher

After Studying with Ernest Muehlmatt, Frank began carving competitively in 1977.  Since then, he has won several awards among major carving competitions including Best in Show and the annual Ward Foundation show.

Recently, Rauscher’s artistic achievement has been in wood burnings and wood turnings which can be found in galleries throughout New England and the Tri-State area.

Rauscher’s creativity with wood is additionally accompanied by his talent for painting in watercolor, pastes, and pen-and-ink.

Following studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Rauscher continued under the direction of local artists:  Chris Chadwick, Michael Adams, and Ann Brennan.

While being an accomplished bird and animal sculpture in wood, he presently devotes his time to watercolor while seemlessly enfusing his love of wood burning using acrylic washes to tint his wood plallets.

Rauscher conducts local lectures and seminars on wood burning, including carving detail.  He invites you to enter into his world of nature as he will be conducting live demonstration very weekend during his month long exhibition at Green Wolf’s Village Barn Shoppes.

Rauscher has carving for almost forty years and has been teaching for over thirty.  His primary subjects are song birds and birds of prey, with an occasional foray into wildlife carvings in three dimensions or relief.
  

A gallery opening reception will be held on September 6th from 5 - 10pm during
First Fridays in Skippack.  For past, current, and future art exhibitions, click here.
