Gateway Gallery Grand Opening ... a Grand Success!

In spite of the unkind freezing rain that couldn't have come at a more inappropriate time, it was quite a party. Thanks to all who ventured out to see the new artwork of both resident artists and guest artists. It was a very festive evening. Some people took us up on our challenge to impress us with their own creative version of black tie attire (see photo below).

Many people left with some very nice door prizes donated by resident artists and local businesses. A number of other happy folks purchased original artworks, photographs, greeting cards, and more.

We encourage those of you who decided not to risk a fender bender to come in to see the work before the show ends on February 17.

Photographs provided by Gateway Gallery Artists Jerry Schmutz and Joyce Yarbrough.

New Guest Artists at Gateway Gallery: Crisman, Eultgen, and Tibrewala

See these guest artists beautiful work at Gateway Gallery Jan 4-Feb 17. Come to the Grand Opening Reception January 20th, 6-9PM.

The Art of Lisa Crisman

St. Louis artist Lisa Crisman grew up in a small midwestern town, Bowling Green, Missouri. Commenting on her childhood, she states, "My mother is an artist, my grandmother was an artist, and an artist is what I've always wanted to be. She devotes as many of her waking hours as possible to her art. Her training is comprised of independent and private study. Lisa is passionate about using bold and vibrant color in her work, rarely using "local" color. Her paintings have been described as "Van Gogh meets Munch", "Vivid and Expressive!" and "a new and contemporary take on the landscape." These unique traits distinguish her from many other artists. Lisa's art has been juried into many prestigious fine art fairs and exhibitions across the country, and her paintings hang in businesses and private collections throughout the nation. She has received numerous awards for her pastel and watercolor landscapes, including: 2009 2nd place Best in Show, Fine Art Competition Taste of St. Louis. 2011 Purchase Award, Old Capitol Art Fair, Springfield, Illinois. 2011 1st Place Fine Art Competition, Missouri State Fair.

The Art of Joseph Eultgen

Joseph Eultgen's passion for woodworking has spanned 33 years for clients throughout the United States. He began his learning process by building theatrical sets, as well as building sets and props for movies. He is primarily self taught, having worked in shops and mills to learn production techniques. Joseph now builds one of a kind high end furniture, such as entertainment centers, custom cabinetry, liturgical furniture, and other custom architectural mill work. His specialty is the use of exotic hardwoods (such as Carpathian Burl elm and Macasser ebony), veneer work, inlay and marquetry. Joseph had the lifetime honor of designing/building two chairs for Pope John Paul II while the Pope was visiting St. Louis. Joseph's passion and drive for woodworking is accredited to his family.

The Art of Sujata Tibrewala

Sujata has been collecting many accolades, and art competition prizes in school and college alike e.g. Creative Artists Society, Prasar Yagna: The Advertising Club, ART Slant, New York.

Her work met rave reviews and got written about in all leading papers of Bangalore and Rajasthan, Rajasthan Patrika, Hindustan Times, Punjab Kesri, Dainik Mehka Bharat, Hum Log, Daily News, Times of India, Deccan Herald, Indian Express, Bangalore Mirror etc. ETV Kannada, Tv9 Jaipur and Bangalore News Network (BNN) also recognized her work with and Child Helpline NGO APSA and lauded her.
