Personal
Statements
Moe
Anderson:
MoezArt is one of a kind pottery
that one must see to experience it’s unique colorful and playful quality.
Pottery that is real joy to have in your home!
The
pottery exhibited at the gallery has been wheel thrown, decorated with colored
slips and fired to bisque ware. Large bowls, lotion dispensers, spoon holders,
cereal bowls and an exquisite large art vase are among the items available for
sale. A clear glaze is applied to each piece and is fired for a second time in a
cone 6 oxidation atmosphere reaching approximately 1980 degrees F.
Moe teaches Pottery Classes at Dixie State College
and also offers workshops using clay as a vehicle for self transformation.
Gloria
Ann Charles:
Gloria
discovered her true media, Textiles, as an 11 year old. After earning a BFA at
Maryland Institute, College
of Art
,
she went right to work in Manhattan
's
garment center as a clothing designer.
Among
her many interesting achievements in textiles has been doing custom sewing in
Woodstock, NY, creating her own design company, Chuckwalla Clothing, in the
Sierra Nevada of California, and studying Inupiat skin sewing in Arctic
Alaska.
In
1994, in tribute to her Appalachian roots, she began to study, restore, appraise
and sell antique American quilts. Her particular area of greatest thrill is the
1840's and the 19th Century overall. She created a home business, Side Canyon
Quilts, which sold her one of a kind patchwork work in many art galleries.
Gloria
retains a small selection of unusual antique quilts for sale and is in the early
stages of crafting small art quilts and folding screen panels.
Fae
Ellsworth:
Fae received an MFA in 1990. Her
“Little Stories”, insightful mixed media drawings, have been compared to
“a cosmic Grandmother Moses”- have been nationally exhibited, including at
the Women’s
Museum
Of
Art
in
Washington
,
DC
representing
Utah
in “Out
Of The Lands Exhibit”.
She says “ My love of personal
mythologies as well as universal ones, such as fairy tales, has become the frame
on which I hang these images, a kind of representation of lives and the
subconscious made visual”. She lives in Virgin with her sculptor husband,
Anton Gehring.
Jim Henning:
Jim was introduced to art at an
age, but it was after experiencing a mid-life crisis that he entered a new
direction in his life through sculpture and clay and then began a new career.
“In my own mind I just make things. Other people enjoy these things and take
them home to live with. I like that. A lot of what I do is done purely for the
pleasure of welding. I think of something to make, design it, engineer it and
build it. It is about as simple as that. There is not much refinement behind me
& you will find some rough edges on what I make. If I can coax function and
beauty out of a stone, a piece of wood, or a rusty piece of iron, you can damn
well bet I am not going to spend a lot of time refining it. I have too many
things to build and entirely too little time to do it”.
Gordon Soaring
Hawk:
Gordon is an Iroquois from the
Six Nations of the
Grand River
in
Canada
. He
creates in a variety of media, though much of his work is three- dimensional. He
says that his creations are “an integration of the past and the present… In
my art, I am striving to reach back through time to re-affirm my kinship with my
ancestors, and re-create insofar as possible the same feelings of love, joy and
beauty that went into the utilitarian objects they created. The continuous quest
to understand myself throughout my life has taken me through many paths that
have now begun to emerge within my art”.
Enilse
Sehuanes-Urbaniak:
Enilse received her BFA from the
Philadelphia College of Art in 1984. She has traveled widely in
Europe
and the
US
experiencing firsthand the art of the Great Masters
from ancient cultures to contemporary abstract painting to Native American and
Indigenous spiritual art. For 14 years she and her husband, Ray, hand crafted
intricately decorated miniature pottery jewelry which they sold all
across the
US
. After experiencing strong “spiritual shifts” in
a quiet small rural town in
Colorado
, her desire to paint and express herself in detailed
intimate images became a strong calling. That was when Vision Quest
series was born. She is happy to share these special images (displayed in form
of Giclee Prints) to the public in hopes that others will appreciate the beauty
and power of the universal concept of the “Feminine”, the Divine and Nature.
Ray Urbaniak:
Ray is an engineer by education
and profession but an artist and passionate amateur archeologist at heart. He is
a self taught potter using simple traditional techniques inspired by Native
American Potters. The diversity of unique solutions and interesting approaches
to creating art, whether it be in clay, natural found objects, designing
jewelry, photography and doing computer design work is evident in the outcome.
He was the creative conceptual designer behind
the successful “Aromatic Miniature Pottery” craft business he & his
wife, Enilse, ran for many years. The incredible power and energy present in the
thousands of pictographs and petroglyphs located in Southern Utah
is the inspiration for most of the work
he has created since moving to Hurricane, UT.
