Jill Stefani Wagner - Pastel, Watercolor
Email:
jwags02@comcast.net
Visit: www.jillwagnerart.com
As a watercolor and pastel artist, the consistent theme that attracts Jill is light and shadow. How does sunlight play on an old building? What happens to the folds of material when light cascades across it? Do leaves on a tree appear differently at various times of day? How is color affected when ambient light changes? Jill strives for realism with a painterly twist, but sometimes allows the rich hues and textures of a scene to dominate. Watercolors, pastels and travel are wonderful companions that lead to endless adventures and sometimes Jill is just happy to follow their lead. Her artwork is represented in Michigan by the River Gallery in Chelsea,
the Button Gallery in Douglas and the Coyote Woman Gallery in Harbor Springs. Pictured: Step Geraniums, pastel, 18” X 18”

Nancy Weiss - Oil, Pastel, Watercolor

nweiss11@gmail.com
”Art draws me, like a magnet, to itself. I am fortunate that my pleasure, my artistic ’bent’, has been both my vocation and my avocation.”
As a youth, strongly encouraged by her parents, Nancy attended Saturday classes at the Detroit Institute of Art, drawing and painting in the galleries. After spending a lifetime creating, whether it be in theater painting behind the scenes, or as an educator in front of a group, she has explored many mediums. First in oil paints, laying down lush, viscous color, then she moved into transparent watercolor, layering colors and imagery alla prima. Once she discovered the sensational handmade pastels she was hooked. Whichever medium, she constantly pushes the material, searching for the strength and impact of direct color, as she paints from life and from her imagination.

Francie Wesorick - Colored Pencil, Pencil and Graphite

Visit: www.customportraitsfw.com/
Francie Wesorick is a portrait artist. She creates portraits using both graphite and colored pencil. She chooses this medium because it allows her to create detailed representations of her subjects.
Francie received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design from Michigan State University in 1992. She has worked in the graphics industry, but her true love has always been drawing people. She loves to capture the beauty of everyday moments- a grandmother looking lovingly at her granddaughter, or a child playing joyfully on the beach. Her three children have been her favorite subjects to draw, and she now draws portraits on commission. Pictured: Grandma, Graphite, 11” X 14”

Jan Wiedmayer - Acrylic, Pastel
Email:
wiedmayer@provide.net
As an artist, Jan’s goal is to bring nature’s colors and forms to life. Whether she uses pastels, acrylics or oils to express her feelings artistically, depends on what will work best in a given context. Her realistic paintings of people, places and things reflect her unique vision of nature’s beauty. Stepping into her world encourages the viewer to ”live the moment.” Jan shares with the viewer her love and concern for nature’s FRAGILE beauty, and through her art,
she encourages all of us to become actively involved in protecting nature for future generations. Jan returned to the study of art in 2000, and for most of these years, she has studied under Jon Lockard, a nationally known artist and educator who has encouraged her to take her art to the next level. World travel is a major component of her continuing art education, and she lives and works in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the summer and in Winter Park, Florida in the winter. Having artist friends and associates in both worlds provides her with tremendous artistic stimulation. Pictured: Anniversary Rose, acrylic on canvas, 20” X 16”

In 2008, Kathy had some life altering
experiences which have given her a new perspective and
enabled her to re-prioritize her responsibilities. She lost
her father and her job, both of which she devoted much love and energy to and truly treasured. In the aftermath of her father’s death, she reached deep within her core and tapped into her higher self which gifted her with the healing words, and art work she is now offering to the world. She can only hope these words of encouragement help you as they have helped her to get through some trying times. She is embracing her new found unemployment through self employment. She is trusting herself, having faith in God and devoting her creative passion into her newest chapter of life; Lifetime Art Impressions, LLC. She is grateful for life’s journey thus far and thankful for the
nurturing, fulfilling future. Pictured: A Mother’s Love, Oil Pastel

Reka Zoltan - Watercolor, Printmaking
Email:
anyu9@earthlink.net
Visit: www.RekaZoltanArt.com
Reka’s art is a reflection of her emotions, experiences, being and ideology. She has always been an observer of life, people, their environment, emotional aspects and characteristics. She enjoys expressing herself mainly using the graphic arts, drawing, and watercolors. These media have limitless possibilities of expression to her. She has shown in galleries throughout Ann Arbor, Detroit, Memphis (TN), Canada, and Germany. She is a member of a number of art organizations and has a BS degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, as well as a BFA. The science compliments the art as both involve observation and a response to the observation. Reka was born in Germany, and her family is Hungarian from the Carpathian Basin. She came to America as a young child and she still keeps connections with her family all over the world. This international relationship has had a large affect on her artwork.
