Photograph by Greg Kluempers
My work explores the relationship of forms, textures and color in the everyday world. Many of my images are extractions from an old building, a distorted reflection, an architectural detail and the juxtaposition of adjoining buildings. I use these to create abstract geometrical images. I also have always been interested in landscapes. Besides understanding composition, a big part of capturing landscapes is being in the right place at the right time.

Rhino, Oil Painting by Don Webb
Oil Painting by Don Webb
The passion and love for art dates back to my early childhood. Though my efforts focused on art in high school and college, I was encouraged to pursue an engineering degree. Eventually, I began to work toward making art my full time profession, producing a greater quality of realism. The most important quality of oil is its transparency. The old masters added thin layers of transparent color to get the illusion of depth . I work in this wonderful, though time consuming manner, which is rarely used in today’s market. Thank you for visiting this web site.

Purple Passion, Watercolor by Linda Wilmes
Being a self taught and long time artist, I have painted and learned from all mediums, and continue to work primarily in watercolor and pastel. I use pastels primarily in my Plein Air painting, and watercolor, being so very compelling, pulls and draws in with it's passionate and surprising characteristics.
Being a member of several art organizations, I will be teaching classes in drawing and painting this fall, at the St. Peters Arts Centre and in my home based studio, in Wentzville, Mo.

Marilyn Callahan, New Guest Artist at Gateway Gallery May 23 - June 29
The One That Got Away, Painting by Marilyn Callahan
B1, Painting by Marilyn Callahan
Marilyn’s “Wild” ceramic birds elicit the comment, “They make me laugh.” Her flock is hatched from a desire to be both a sculptor and a painter. Intricate manipulation of the clay to create poses and expressions inspire a sense of Pixar come to life. The versatility of acrylic paint provides a subtlety that enables her to experiment with minute details and a more painterly surface treatment. With a “sprinkling” of bling, her creations must each have a name and a story. Her pastels emulate the colorful and imaginative feel of her “Wild” birds. The mosaic-like compositions and the subtle blending of hues present an intricate graphic rendition of nature. Each piece reaches out to that thrill we all experienced in our childhood when our eyes were dazzled by bursts of color and light.
Marilyn’s art reflects her desire to communicate the whimsy, imagination, and creative excitement that children embrace. She has chosen to dedicate her work to her wonderful childhood memories, her children, and every one of her students who remind her to create from the heart.

Jim Irwin, New Guest Artist at Gateway Gallery May 23 - June 29
Lion King of Masai Mara, Photograph by Jim Irwin
The Zebra Girl, Photograph by Jim Irwin
My photography is mostly of nature and wildlife. And being a veterinarian, my interest in animal photography should be of no surprise. I see animal photography as a way of bringing more than just color or design to a wall but rather a dimension of personality as well. The animal close-ups especially demonstrate that phenomenon. The close-up view enables one to see the natural features that are usually missed in real life due to all the movement and surrounding distractions. In effect, a "personality" seems to appear. My goal is to capture this "personality" in an artistic fashion that can be displayed in a person’s home for regular enjoyment.
My interest in animal art is directed more toward wildlife rather than toward the more common domestic animals. While they usually present a challenge to photograph, I find the images to be far more fascinating. Additionally, the photography creates an environmental awareness that may even translate into improving animal welfare, especially for the African species. Through environmental abuse, habitat destruction, poaching and other human interactions the future of many of these animals is in doubt. This special photography of these species can provide a chance to enjoy their being and hopefully they will survive.
I am a juried artist for the Greater St. Louis Art Association and the Best Of Missouri Hands.

GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYON PRESENTS
“IF THIS BE NOT I”, MAY 23 – JUNE 29
Opening reception held for the artist 6-9 p.m. Friday June 8
Gateway Gallery is excited to be featuring the dynamic abstract paintings of Sheldon Johnson in his exhibit “If This Be Not I”. Guest artists include wildlife photographer Jim Irwin and mixed media artist Marilyn Callahan. This show runs May 23 through June 29 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday June 8 at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton.
Johnson is known for the vibrant color and brushstroke usage that is apparent in each of his abstracts. This show builds on that foundation with a very large politically based painting reflecting today’s political upheaval and inspired by the work of well known painter Philip Guston. The large oil blends abstraction and surreal elements leaving more conceptual symbols to populate his smaller pieces.
Despite an ongoing commitment to his MFA program at Fontbonne University, Johnson has and continues to exhibit widely in the Midwest including Cedarhurst Museum in Mt Vernon, Il, The Foundry Art Centre at St Charles, Contemporary Art Museum, St Louis, and the Kansas City Artists Coalition Gallery. His work is collected nationwide.
Jim Irwin’s photography is largely directed toward wildlife, using the close-up to capture natural features that are usually missed in real time due to the nature of movement in these animals’ lives and the need for humans to not get too close.
His images give us a chance to see the personalities that emerge. A juried artist for Greater St Louis Art Association and Best of Missouri Hands, you will find Irwin’s work shown widely in the St Louis region.
Marilyn Callahan creates ceramic birds with attitude and pastel mosaic–like compositions whose nature reflects that same colorful and imaginative feel. In both mediums, Callahan manages to create poses and expressions that give a sense of Pixar come to life. She is an arts educator in the Lindbergh Schools whose inspiration is derived from the energy and creative excitement of her young students and it is definitely reflected in her work.

I am gearing up for the 10th annual Augusta Plein Air Event. There are usually over 100 artists painting in and around the Augusta MO wineries and the surrounding countryside. It is a great opportunity for the public to watch and purchase art that is created in their own area. It is a ten day event ending with a show and sale at the Mount Pleasant winery. The dates this year are April 18 through April 28. Google "Augusta Plein Air 2012" for more info.

Michael Anderson, returns to Gateway Gallery as a Guest Artist, April 4 – May 18.
"I am a professional artist working in traditional and digital media. Whether I am painting in oils or acrylics, sketching in water colors or even drawing digitally on a graphics tablet the challenge is always how do I make my work compelling and visually interesting to the viewer.
My recent landscape paintings feature heavily textured surfaces as well as both thick and thin paint applications. While the colors in these works are low key and intermixed on the pallette they range in value from extremely dark to very light. I paint on canvases and panels that I prepare with a layer of acrylic modeling paste troweled on with a broad knife. Once I have blocked in the scene with thin washes I sometimes remove broad areas of paint by wiping them out with a paper towel and thinner. This helps to refine the five to seven basic shapes of the composition which are then painted more thickly often referred to as painting “fat over lean”. Besides a square ended painting knife I use only a few brushes, flats mainly. My favorite brushes are the beat-up ones that look like the burr of a thistle attached to the end of a stick. While the paint is still wet I usually go back into completed areas with a painting knife and literally carve lines into the surface to create more textures and details not possible with a brush. My goal in future paintings is to scale up these techniques on larger canvases with bigger brushes, larger knives and more paint." –Michael Anderson

“PASSAGEWAYS”, APRIL 4 – MAY 18
Opening reception held for the artist 6-9 p.m. APRIL 13
(Clayton, MO/Feb 24, 2012) Gateway Gallery brings the photographic statements of resident artist John Barhydt to its featured artist series in the exhibit “Passageways”. . In Addition, guest artist Michael Anderson will present his heavily textured landscape paintings, including a new large scale canvas. This show runs April 4 through May 18 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday April13 at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton
Passageways: doors, windows, hallways; these architectural elements are used every day, often without a thought. “On the surface they can be useful and aesthetically pleasing but without looking or passing through them we have no idea what lies beyond.” Likewise, the value of roads and trails primarily focuses on destination, getting us from point A to point B but Barhydt takes a different route. This photographer prefers to concentrate on the beauty of the journey and the intrigue of the unknown which waits for us on the other side of the door.
As a child, John was exposed to the world of film photography and the wet darkroom. “I was hooked on the magic I could create there” he reflects. John’s father taught him developing and printing technique while his grandfather supplied inspiration from stories told through his slide shows. The advent of digital cameras added to his repertoire. The result one sees to this lifelong artist’s evolution is imagery using boldness of color and light that is designed to express the moment.

More Art from Featured Artist Vic Barr
Vic Barr’s woodworking skills are well known and widely appreciated in the St Louis region. His sublimely designed and constructed furniture, jewelry boxes, vessels and even, wooden pens are all one-of-a-kind pieces designed to reveal the wonder hidden beneath the bark of a tree. “I see things in life in the context of building terms; we build families, careers, skills. Everything we are is built on what came before and, what we will be tomorrow depends upon what we build today. We are always under construction. What I build with my hands in my favorite medium –wood - is a concrete and satisfying expression and an extension of the philosophy that has been under construction all my life” explains Barr.

This contemporary American artist began by hammering nails into 2x4’s as a child. As time went on, selective native and exotic hardwoods captured his attention. As a young man, Vic discovered he had an innate talent for forming clean lines and subtle curves in wood. His reputation for quality and artistic merit grew and his signed and commissioned works can now be found from coast to coast and into Europe.
