April 1, 2010 - April 30, 2010 Jeff GOTTFRIED Bonnie, Karen & Rebecca LATHAM Bernard VETTER Opening Reception throughout the day Friday, April 2 First Friday Art Walk Fredericksburg An exciting event is taking place at Whistle Pik Galleries in April 2010! We will be showcasing 5 of our artists in together in our April Show. Each artist is known for their unique approach to their medium and we can't wait for the world to discover it as well. Jeff GOTTFRIED - Bronze artist Jef has said "I truly believe that art is a part of me, of the way I look at the world. Without a doubt, sculpture is my medium. When I pick up a piece of clay I feel a deep, direct connection. My challenge is to successfully combine technical accuracy, a strong message, and a powerful design into my sculptures." He has quickly become one of the artists to watch, receiving the prestigous Cowboy Artist of America Best Emerging Artist Award in 2007 and the Greely Stampede Art Show selected his work to promote their 2009 event. While not seeking awards, people are finding his work worthy of accolades and want to get the word out that he is one to add to their collections. Bonnie, Karen & Rebecca LATHAM - Water Color Miniature Artists The LATHAMS are a family of internationally known artists painting animals, birds, and nature. Karen, and her two daughters, Rebecca and Bonnie, paint primarily in finely detailed watercolor and exhibit their paintings extensively in galleries and museums around the United States and abroad. They hold memberships in numerous prestigious fine art societies around the world and have been active in fundraising and promoting the conservation of wildlife and habitat that is rendered in their work. They have been acknowledged by numerous shows and publications, including being featured in Wildlife Art Magazine in 2008. The one thing that stands out about the Latham's work is that people don't believe us when we tell them that they are water color paintings and not photographs or oil paintings. The detail work if phenomenal and the colors so vibrant...you want to reach out and touch the animal. Clients are mesmerized by their work and feel a connection with it. Bernard VETTER - Oil Painter He uses a dry brush technique to paint realistic watercolors of Southwestern and wildlife/sporting subjects, including fly-fishing scenes. In his oil paintings he specializes in Southwestern landscapes, typical of Southeastern Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas. Vetter’s paintings are a part of a number of collections including the Favell Museum in Klamath Falls, Oregon; the Pabst Collection in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and the Miller Collection in Ft. Worth, Texas as well as many private collections. In 1994 his work became part of the acquisition of the Huthsteiner Fine Arts Trust. Vetter’s work is included in the volume Contemporary Western Artist by Peggy and Harold Samuels, published by Southwestern Art. |

May 3, 2010 - May 31, 2010 Celebrating 15 years of "Graceful Discoveries" Opening Reception - Friday, May 7 in conjunction with First Friday Art Walk Fredericksburg An event that has been 15 years in the making! Whistle Pik Galleries takes this opportunity to showcase the artists that make it possible for all of the collectors to find their "Graceful Discoveries". Raising the standard in the art world, WPG prides itself in presenting art work in a comfortable, non intimidating setting so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful work that fills our galleries. Opened in 1995 by Tim and Pamela Taylor, the gallery has grown not only in size, but also in its presence in the national art scene. Representing the "cream of the crop" in artists from across the nation in traditional representational work, collectors have discovered that there truly is something different about the gallery. While selling the art is an important part of what we do, it is the relationships between the gallery, artists and clients that drive the business. It is about introducing people who walk through our doors to the art from our artists. It is about helping our artists in their careers and letting the world know of their talents and gifts they have to share. But it is the long term relationships that we develop with our artists and our clients that define us as who were are. This show is going to be a celebration of the many blessings that have happened since 1995. Please join us and be a part of it. |
