More Art from Featured Artist John Barhydt

Tunnel by John Barhydt

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.
