YWA Painters - Larry Potter and Juanita Smith

Saturday May 12th, 11AM to 5PM

 

In celebration of the Tri-County exhibit, Stellar Gallery will be featuring two YWA painters during May's Sierra Art Hop, providing a unique opportunity to meet with some of the artists participating in the Tri-County Exhibit.

 

Larry Potter is drawn to the beauty and peaceful atmosphere of this mountain area.  A skilled oil painter, Larry also experiments with pencil, pen and ink, and pastels.    His inspiration comes from our beautiful mountain areas, still life, animals, and people.

 

Juanita Smith paints with the YWA painting group at the Gertrude Schoolhouse.  Painting along side well-known YWA artists like Putt Putman, Anita Stoll, and Anne McClure has had a strong influence on Juanita, giving her the confidence to experiment with new techniques and exhibit her work. 

 

The Gertrude schoolhouse was built in 1913, and was closed to public education in 1968.  In 1979 the current owner, Harry Baker, offered the use of the schoolhouse to Yosemite Western Artists to use for meetings, classes, and workshops. Gertrude School re-opened its doors as the Yosemite Western Artists Gallery, and is still the official headquarters for the organization today.

 Drawings by Chelsea Wilhite 

Sadness- Drawing by Chelsea Wilhite

Chelsea Wilhite works with clay, pen, and pencil.  Her images are emotive and personal, a window through which we catch a glimpse of the artist's inner self.

 

" Art is the product of passion and pen.  Creativity is the collision of inspiration and motivation.  Imagination is the intersection of whimsy and chance.  May I have many twists, turns and magical collisions."

 

Chelsea's work will be on display at Stellar Gallery beginning May 15th

 

Chelsea will be demonstrating her work on May 19th from 11 AM to 5 PM
