As we celebrate twelve years of Collectors Choice I am delighted to greet artists who have
donated their art over the years, and pleased to meet artists who have shared their talents for
the first time to support this annual fundraiser. That loyalty extends also to our donors and
committee members who make this event the success it’s been over the years. Businesses and
private donors from the area have contributed to the event and without their support this event
could not be possible. Many people have worked on the committee and have volunteered
many hours to produce this wonderful fundraiser. I am very grateful to all who make this event
so popular.
The real delight is to see patrons thrilled with their selection. When we talk about Collectors
Choice one of the aspects we repeat often is the variety of artworks that fill our galleries …
something for everyone’s taste. Many times we hear someone comment that their name was
called late, but he or she still got one of their top 10 choices. It is rewarding to see so many
familiar faces of patrons who have come to Collectors Choice for many years, and I welcome
all who might be attending for the first time.
It is with enthusiasm and thanks that I welcome you to Collectors Choice XII. Your contribution
supports the many programs, exhibits and events produced by the St. Louis Artists’ Guild.

Debra Akin
Before I developed a “feeling vocabulary,” I was always able to express myself through making art. I started out in graphic design and I loved the process of organizing images and print. Space planning led me into interior design, where I developed a passion for fabric, texture, color, and overall good design. But I still felt that I wasn’t being completely authentic until I came to realize that my creativity and spirituality are intertwined. Pursuing a fine art degree, exploring new techniques, puts the world in a different perspective. I’m inspired by nature and its perfect design.
Muhammad Alhawagriwww.alhawagri.com
I’m a self-taught photographer and visual artist. My mother gave me my first camera at the age of 9 and a second at the age of 22. She was a passionate art teacher, who inspired me to fly into the endless sky of creation. From the earliest years of my life, I began a journey to discover my soul through my art. I write with ink made of light and images that may appear only for an instant. My photographs are only a mere proof that those stories and poems once existed.
Randall Allenwww.rsaphoto.com
A retired Navy Submariner and entrepreneur, I love photography and I also draw and paint on occasion (although my passion is really photography). My philosophy is that there are great photo opportunities almost everywhere. I’ve enjoyed photography for over 35 years, and today in the digital realm, the artistic and creative possibilities are almost endless and there is always something new to learn. My favorite quote is from Ansel Adams: “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
Bob Allenwww.foundryartcentre.org/artists/BobAllen.aspx
I retired from teaching in 2003, and in 2004 became one of the original artists working and exhibiting at the Foundry Art Centre in downtown St. Charles. After fifty years, I still find the process of making, glazing, and firing pottery very exciting and rewarding. My major goal is to make a personal statement in clay. This is a difficult task, and my work has been influenced by many generations of potters. I have spent much time developing glazes, decorating slips, and decorating techniques that are uniquely my own.
Michael Andersonwww.michaelandersonstudio.com
MichaeI Anderson was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and has been an artist, illustrator & designer for over 35 years. Prior to establishing Michael Anderson Studio in 1983, he was employed as a display designer and a graphic artist. Collaboration with designers, architects and planners to develop their ideas for interior environments and urban design concepts in sketches, drawings and digital illustrations is a specialty.
Robert Backowski
A lifetime of work in engineering and as a draftsman of heating and ventilating systems, along with my interest in fantasy, sci-fi space movies led me to create Skyship of Our Federation. For many years I constructed objects of art from copper sheet stock. Then came my retirement (I am now eighty one) and copper prices
became dear. I then took objects found in flea markets and resale shops, along with some from antique shops. Close observation will reveal parts of the media used. In 2008, I donated to Collectors Choice a work using this media.
Marianne Baerwww.mariannebaer.com
Whether I am deeply carving the raised surface of my intensely colored pieces or incising the flat area of my functional ware, my focus is on texture, detail, and pattern. My work is the contemporary expression of my interpretation of ancient textiles, pottery, and patterns from around the world. Each piece is made by my hand only, in my studio in St. Louis MO.

Jody Balzer
Earth Panel is next in a series titled Earth Elements that I began in 2005. This is a series of mixed media collage pieces exploring texture and subtle color variation as found in topographical landscape, primarily in rock outcroppings. Natural dyes of coffee and tea on fabric and paper are used to bring the experience of beholding the world of natural and manmade formations into the interior environment. All of nature is multi-dimensional and has a sculptural aspect that changes over time. The reversibility and vertical/horizontal display option of Earth Panel honors those qualities.
Linda Bangert
As a printmaker, I use numerous methods of printmaking to achieve colors, opacities, textures, and details needed to complete my two-dimensional image. The possibilities are endless. Every session at the press brings about new results and there is always something to continue on with. I use the landscape most often, partly because of its ever-changing information (colors, structure) and my enjoyment of being outdoors. This print is a combination of monoprint, linoleum cut, and intaglio. This line of trees is along the Missouri river in Nebo, Illinois.

Pat Brokawwww.patbrokaw.com
I work exclusively with reduction prints. I want to present images that make people think “that is where I would like to be.”I find that often in the most common subjects there is beauty that tends to escape the casual eye. My works are exclusively small editions and all prints are pressed by hand. My process layers color and space with each subsequent step building toward the final product. Often the image only resolves itself on the final step, and that is what I love about this type of art: the beauty that is only reluctantly revealed.
Shirley Buzzell
Shirley Buzzell was raised in Colorado. At a young age, her family encouraged drawing. As years passed, several opportunities to study under others provided classroom situations where she expanded her choices of media and technique. A favorite subject matter was landscapes of prairie and mountain scenes. Shirley has had many opportunities to practice artistic endeavors in charcoal, pastels, ink, watercolors, acrylic paints, and oil paints. Commissioned requests have provided her with different subject matter. These pieces of art raised the bar of expectations. Currently, Shirley is accepting commissions for charcoal portraits and acrylic paintings of memorial items.

Jennifer Churchillwww.myslart.org/profile/JenniferChurchill
Painting and creating are necessary to remind myself how rich it is to experience being alive. I am a self-taught artist who finds beauty in even the most mundane environments. Art has been an intricate part of my rural upbringing. My hurried modern lifestyle is not accommodating to the constant flow of emotion in my daily life. Thoughts and feelings build up inside of me until I can let them out through creativity. I prefer to work with oils on canvas. When my work is going well I feel a sense of peace and fulfillment.
Steve Clayton
I consider myself a multi-media artist at this point of my life. Having spent years immersed in drawing, watercolor, and printmaking techniques and applying them to my creations has led me now to exploring photography, oil, acrylic, mixing multiple media and something I call fusion art. The word fusion best expresses my process when I’m mixing photos with acrylics or mixing line drawings with photos I’ve taken, collages, and printmaking. I never know where a simple drawing is going to take me. I draw inspiration from my contemporaries and historical artists as well as from family and friends.

I am a native St. Louis artist, whose interest in drawing and art has been continuous from grade school days. Primarily self-taught, I have also studied with many local and national artists in watercolor, drawing and printmaking, including (in alphabetical order) Carole Barnes, Miles Batt, Glen Bradshaw, Gerald Brommer, Al Brouillette, Virginia Cobb, Judy Gard, Carole Myers, and Ed Reep. This image is mixed media collage as a reaction to an actual visit to the City Museum in downtown St. Louis, which truly represents a work of art in the best sense of that term.

Michael Daftwww.mdaft.smugmug.com
“How you watch the rest of the world from a window…..”From Sunday in the Park with George by Stephen Sondheim.Working with a camera forces me, allows me, encourages me to watch my world from the window of the viewfinder. I look for composition. I look for color. I look for meaning. I seek to create a unique and memorable point of view. If observing my work changes you even slightly, I have succeeded, and I am happy. If you begin to see your world through different eyes because of my photographs, I am ecstatic.
Eileen Dailey
My work is structured around the figure, beginning with a contact print from the human body. I treat the figure as another shape in an environment documenting an instant in time. The raw and primitive effect of the body print combined with the life-size scale gives the feel of the figure frozen in time. I see the canvas as a residue of human activity in which human life and
juxtaposition of color, pattern and form with a postmodern sensibility. Combining these elements with various stylistic tendencies creates a personal narrative that allows me to explore my own personal experiences on a conceptual basis while working within the construct of formalism.
Marianne Ericksonwww.myslart.org/profile/MarianneErickson
As a painter, Marianne draws her primary inspiration from the great artists who use words as their medium, from Emily Dickinson to Jimi Hendrix. She believes that by translating the poet’s word-pictures into visual images, the artist, the reader, and the viewer stand to gain deeper insight into the essence of the text. However, the photograph Three Barn Farm was inspired solely by the poetry of an autumn afternoon at Mark Erker’s farm.
Muriel Eulichwww.murielwatercolor.com
Born in Paris, France to a family of artists, Muriel Eulich has always treasured and nurtured creativity—in herself and in others. As a trained art therapist, Muriel spent many years working in prisons, community centers, hospitals, and in private practice, and also taught at the college level. In recent years she has renewed her commitment to her own watercolor painting; as she works in her studio each day, she feels gratitude and joy for the chance to explore more deeply the beauty and mystery of the world around her, and the world within.
Susan Fadem
Mark Twain is famous for saying, among other things: “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” Artist and award-winning journalist Susan Fadem boots that distinction further still. For all those moments and times worth celebrating, she says, blah jewelry just may not cut it. Instead, it takes a statement piece to embolden the wearer and enliven the occasion. A jewelry designer, as well as a veteran newspaper and magazine reporter and the author of four books, Susan makes statements. With her one-of-a-kind necklaces, you will, too.
Suzy Farren
I make my living as a writer, telling stories with my words. My art offers a different way to tell a story. I am attracted to cast-off things and found objects. In Paper Trail, I sewed together scraps of handmade, hand-dyed paper and torn up pieces from old shopping lists. I frequently use text and marks (in this piece stitches) in my work but it is seldom readable, thus making each piece a more visual than linguistic story.
Mirka Fette
My subjects vary greatly. When I see something beautiful, I am eager to depict it and share my perspective others. Do you sometimes retell stories and spice them up a bit? Well sometimes a beautiful subject needs that as well. I like to experiment with texture and pattern sometimes from natural materials. Printmaking lends itself to layering and prints can take on a bas-relief quality that I find appealing. There is nothing as satisfying a pulling the print off of the plate because the outcome is always surprising and often delighting.

Deb Douglaswww.debdouglas.com
As an artist, I work with two dimensional materials, including painting, drawing, collage, and printmaking. Since graduate school I have worked to develop a personal vocabulary of imagery and mark making that speaks to my interest in the balance of form and content. My work deals with the
of the city, where I still live. The main media I work in are oils, acrylics, colored pencils, ink, as well as wood carving. Landscapes, portraits and wildlife are among some of my favorite subjects to paint or sketch. Art for me has never been a way of just expressing myself; it is big part of who I am as a person. It is something that I just can’t stop doing!
Daniel Fishbackdaniel-fishback.artistwebsites.com
Except for a few non-credit watercolor classes and workshops, I am primarily self-taught. With each painting I try to place the viewer at the scene. If the scene is a performance, they are in the audience. If a landscape, they can walk down the path, wade in the stream, or swim in the lake. My aim is to create paintings that viewers not only feel like they can walk into but are so beautiful and inviting they wish they could. I am a member of Art Saint Louis and Oil Painters of America.
Carol Foster
I split my time between Tampa, Florida and Kirkwood, Missouri. My watercolors combine elements of light and shadow in which I try to realistically retain the brilliance of color found in my subjects while maintaining good design. I am a signatory member of the Florida Watercolor Society and also have been selected to exhibit in many other shows on Florida’s Gulf coast, including, on two occasions, the National Biennial ArtExhibition in Punta Gorda.

Ruth Kolkerwww.ruthkolker.com
By combining printmaking and painting an exciting journey of discovery can be reached. How the two disciplines are layered is key to the composition. Pattern, texture, shape, line and color are
woven together to create a visual texture. I invite the viewer to respond.

Madeline Pisani
My landscape paintings are an attempt to communicate through painting the complex world that exists hidden in nature. Interesting shapes and areas appear as the follow of energy passes around and through the trees and leaves. My painting goal is to capture this subtle movement of lights and shadows that form into wonderful shapes. Viewing a peaceful and tranquil location provides an opportunity to present the spiritual side of nature. Enjoy my paintings expressing the love of nature without too much interference.

Photography is best when it encapsulates and crystallizes a distinct moment in time. The stopping, blending and smearing of light and time are endlessly fascinating and hopefully a comment on the transitory nature of those living moments.

Realism is not a goal, as I would rather find new and exciting ways to express ideas and seek inner meaning and relationships. Examples of the work I do are included in many private and corporate collections and museums.
Jack Schlueter
I am an art teacher who has never stopped working “outside the job.” I always have something going all year round in a variety of subjects, but I really enjoy painting away my summers in Blue Hill Maine. The coast inspires me and painting recharges my batteries to begin another year of teaching.
Nora Schomogy
Portraits are my specialty. I have painted many different kinds of paintings but nothing gives me feelings of contentment and joy like the act of painting a portrait, either of a person or of an animal. This painting of an owl was juried into the Ann Metzger Memorial National All Media Exhibition at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild last summer.

While I assume a number of multiple art personalities, I am currently devoting more time to corporate and personal caricatures. This aspect of my business is both a lot of fun and rewarding for me when the final piece is presented. It is a unique gift and one that seems never to get old. In fact, I
tell my caricatured clients they will look at the art in five years and remark how good they looked then! I also do quite a bit of humorous, editorial and conceptual work.

Barbara Martin Smithwatercolorsmith.com
Rhythms of the process of creating are constant as well as ever changing. Omnipotence is present in these rhythms, like a friend. When I retreat to my studio to paint, I carry this friend with me. Working with the fluidity of transparent watercolor on handmade paper parallels the seen and unseen, known and unknown, foreseen and recalled qualities of subject that emerge during the painting process. Each painting comes from within, linking me with the past and the future. Each is a deliberate engagement with all that is mysterious and beautiful.
Betty Springfield
I love nature, and my objective in my photography is to capture the beauty all around us. Nature provides some of the most dramatic settings in terms of light, color and form. Water is one of my favorite centerpieces in photographs, along with the natural elements surrounding it.
Barbie Stepswww.stepsphotography.com
My two big passions in life are photography and travel. I consider myself lucky in that I have the opportunity to combine both in my many explorations around the world. I enjoy sharing with others some of what I have experienced both here and abroad—the little moments and places that make a good life

Barbara St. Johnwww.barbarastjohn.com
My paintings represent my search to express how I respond emotionally to a subject. My hope is to connect with viewers, rekindling an awareness of the beauty that we take for granted in our hectic lives. I like to explore the city and document my discoveries with my camera. I use these pictures as my starting point,
and from there I let my inner voice attempt to convey what has touched my heart. I approach each painting not to reproduce what I see, but to interpret what I feel with use of color, expressive brushstrokes, texture, and the palette knife.
Joanne Stremsterfer
I am intrigued with the constant transformation of nature and have chosen that as the concept for this relief print. The manipulation of various printmaking techniques enhances the element of surprise that have intrigued me over the past several years. I’ve worked in pastels for a long time and gradually began experimenting with surfaces on which to draw. Printmaking has provided the variety of effects that I enjoy.

Leslie Uljee
Doorway—Desert Garden (Mother Earth Series) explores connections between the human body and topography. The hand quilting is an exercise in meditation as rows of stitches progress across a metaphorical landscape. Leslie’s fiber art has been exhibited since 1996, most recently in the 2012 Lay of the Land juried exhibition at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild. A photograph of an earlier work was included in Touching Fiber Arts, a 2012 book by the Texas Museum of Fiber Arts.

Joy Lalita Wadewww.blackartinamerica.com/profile/JoyLalitaWade
I’m a realistic storyteller. I paint a traditional, mixed media style. I find the physical, spiritual and social awareness of the human condition utterly beautiful, and a balance that emerges from interplay where subject and nature alternate. I like to bring attention to people I think are often overlooked, to capture the personal human essence of a time and place in rich vibrant color and texture. It is a gift to work at my passion, it keeps me grounded, and the most

rewarding part of what I do is that I always want to do more.

Kate Warnerwww.kwarnerart.com
I love the process of making art. Deciding on the medium, presentation, and then proceeding through the composition to successful completion is the most satisfying thing I do. My subjects of choice are related to nature, trying to capture even an iota of the beauty and mystery is a never ending challenge. I am rewarded if in the end, the viewer is drawn to and finds some personal response to an image.

Linda Wein
I create encaustic paintings that express my feelings about life and nature. Each work crystallizes an impression of something I’ve seen or an emotion I’ve felt. I use the translucency of encaustic wax to create depth as I build up layers of colors, textures and images. From my earliest childhood through today, I find inspiration in the natural world. Trees, birds, and far horizons all find their way into my paintings. I want my artwork to evoke a momentof calm meditation and connection to the universe.

Julie Wiegandwww.juliewiegand.com
I have been a working artist in Missouri for over 25 years. I grew up in the Missouri River Bottoms of Chesterfield, surrounded by huge cottonwood trees and farm fields for miles. I continue to express my connection to and love of nature and the countryside through my art. My oil paintings and murals express light and color interactions within a subject. A large percentage of my oils are painted en plein air and I truly enjoy this challenging and rewarding work. I am drawn to simple compositions and find true joy in capturing a mood with color and light.
Gwin Willis
My mother inspired me to get into the fine arts when I was an older child and I loved it. I enjoy drawing animals in charcoal and pastel; for painting I started out with acrylics at the age of 10, and now I have just started trying out oil painting. I like sporting art best of all, like George Stubbs and Robert K. Abbett.
