Annie Smith Piffel, Gateway Gallery: "An “artist in training” since childhood Annie Smith Piffel spent her Saturday mornings drawing along with Jon Gnagy’s art show. She considers “plein air painting to be a slice of heaven.” Annie's work in pastels, oils, acrylics and watercolors range from realistically detailed still lifes to vibrant abstracts. While her style is varied she believes that each piece speaks its own language. Annie's work is on permanent display at the Clayton, MO City Hall and included in corporate as well as private collections across the country.

Annie is a mentor to many of the students that have received private art instruction from her or attended her classes at St. Louis Community College. She encourages her students to create, imagine, explore and play. She hopes to ignite their passion and feed their spirit through their own art making process."

A Touch of Color Triptych by Heather Haymart by heatherhaymart

A Touch of Color Triptych by Heather Haymart by heatherhaymart: "I just had this urge to paint with white (something I rarely do). They were a lot of fun to do and now I really enjoy looking at them. I think they would add A Touch of Color to any room.

These three paintings are 8'x8' a piece. All three would equal to a little over 24 inches with space between them. They look great together and separated.

These paintings are each one of a kind 8'x8' paintings on a two inch deep wooden box. The sides are painted black and it is ready to hang."

Ron Mueck: "Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images."

Artist Vic Barr

2010-01-16T15:06:00.000-08:00

Artist Vic Barr: "In 1993 Vic found himself in Boston for a convention. During a tour of the USS Constitution, he obtained several pieces of the oak timbers from the hull. With those pieces and a dexterous hand, Vic created 'heritage pieces' - pens and desk sets that were sold with a Certificate of Authenticity only to those for whom the ship held special meaning. The emotional response from the owners of those pieces was overwhelming. Vic had realized his opus - art that was meaningful to both the artist and the buyer. 'I am happiest in my workshop - making drawers fit perfectly, feeling them slide smoothly. And retaining the beauty of the wood. Wood is beautiful in it's own right, I don't want to cover it, disguise it, or put it on a production line. It should express itself and me. If I can reuse heritage woods that have a history or hold special meaning for the buyer, well, that's even more satisfying'."

"Just a leaf..." Fine Art Print by LjMaxx: "floating in my little home made lily pond this past fall. It does not conform to some basic rules of photography… However.. I dont care on this one.. I like’d it anyway.. On another site it was suggested I darken the leafs details, add veins ect… but… I only darkened the tones of the whole picture a notch or two here with a basic editor… Natures elements provided the real beauty I find in it…

Jewel tones in the water like Sapphires, Emeralds and Citrines come from the ponds surrounding tree line."

Blue Drip Bowl: "Every piece by Taylor-Backes Glass Studio is unique and spontaneous, using the heat of the glory hole and the weight of the added drips to create a piece that still looks as though it has motion. The piece starts as a hot glass bubble at the end of a blow pipe. It is then shaped, and the solid glass drips are added on to the bubble. The drips contain dichroic glass which is what makes them sparkle. Each drip vase or bowl takes from 45 minutes to 2 hours to make, depending upon the size. There is a team of three to six glass blowers who work to make each one come to life. When finished the pieces weigh between 20 and 65 pounds."
