Bailey Christman-Life is Like a Carnival Ride- Artist Statement
I spent my childhood growing up around my family business-Christman Amusements. My parents have ran this business for fifty years and my sister and I plan to eventually take it over. Being around amusement rides has influenced me to create a carousel horse out of stained glass. Art is important for me I can express me ideas and thoughts without words. I enjoy working with stained glass because it looks delicate yet sturdy. I choose colors that represent the carnival, blue, green, and purple. To create this stain glass I used the copper foil method. After soldering was complete I applied a copper patina and a frame or come. Bailey Christman
Josie Overbeck- Untitled-Artist Statement
My name is Josie Overbeck. I used acrylic paint on weathered wood to create this piece. After finding the piece of wood in my backyard, I really liked the texture of the peeling paint. I cleaned it up and stored if for a future project. I enjoyed creating this piece and it is now one of my favorites.
Cala Ritscke- Cold Breeze-Artist Statement
Art means the world to me. It expresses my feelings, keeps me busy and I’m actually good at it. My project really did not have a purpose or specific ending product. I started out with wire, than started beading it, and basically winding it the whole time with no specific goal. Once it started taking shape I liked how the design unfolded. I am not quite sure how a butterfly popped in my mind but it just seemed to fit. Overall it was a fun fulfilling project that tested my imagination skills. Cala Ritscke
