Nelson Amos
Ypsilanti Area

Artistic realism (local images, landscapes, portraits, commissions), artist services (giclées, prints, etc.), custom framing, unique gifts. Nelson Amos's early experience in the visual arts was as an art major at Morehead State University in the 1960's. After a year of study, he decided to follow a career in music which led him to Ohio State University for a Master of Arts degree and The University of Iowa for his Ph.D. Since 1975, he has served as Professor of Music at Eastern Michigan University where he continues to teach classical guitar, lute, and graduate classes in music history. Inspired by his historical music interests, Amos decided in 1997 to incorporate Renaissance and Baroque painting techniques in his art work. In 2004, the Nelson Amos Studio opened at 9 East Cross Street in Ypsilanti's Historic Depot Town. The Studio has since moved to 23 E. Cross Street. To date, Amos has painted almost 40 portraits including individuals, family, as well as corporate commissions. His painted images of Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor are favorite items having broad appeal in Southeast Michigan. Amos continues to teach at Eastern while his wife Korin assumes much of the day-to-day operation of the studio-gallery (custom framing and sales of his original art work).

Cecily Donnelly
Ann Arbor Area

I am a graphic designer and illustrator as well as a painter; I once thought these endeavors were separate but have realized that they're strongly connected and inform and enrich each other. My design/illustration/editorial work includes award-winning books, brochures, logos for university and business clients; my paintings, available through River Gallery and Splaine Dolan Fine Art, focus on the landscape and are usually oil on linen. I work quite large, usually basing my paintings on small on-site watercolor sketches. I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful area.

As a professional illustrator, I carry the precision of illustration into my fine art. I enjoy exploring exciting ranges of color, texture and light. I like to present common objects such as food, still lifes, and animals in unusual and interesting ways. Each stroke is applied with the spirit of the subject matter in mind. Inspiration comes from the beauty and simplicity found in nature or things we encounter everyday, which can be overlooked in our hurried lives.

Rebecca Lambers
Ann Arbor Area

I am a couturiére, practicing the art of dressmaking. Couture is my reason for being. It is a constant striving with my best efforts reaching toward perfection of my objects and their performance. My work exists at the junction of art and highend ready-to-wear clothes. Like architecture, this art form is lived in. Its effect varies, often changing in appearance over time. It has many dimensions. It is the name of my dreams. A working artist serving clientele for over thirty-five years, I focus on the woman and make each garment, from concept through to finishing. Every life experience is unique and contributes to our personal spirit. Translating the language of dressing the body - fashion - defines my being and discerns the individual in my clients while recognizing our shared humanity. Themed shows in my Ann Arbor studio suggest possibilities. These venues reinforce my belief in the value of meaningful dress, a reasoning of cloth, the body and identity. Sense of Skin - coming Oct. 2010 Things Japanese - Oct. 09 The practice of my craft. I am challenged by Zen cultural readings concerning the concentrated pursuit of art as necessary for ethical learning, a way to be in the world. Origins - Feb. 08 Exploring the influence of the African aesthetic in my life and work: using rhythm, color, materials, to reaffirm life’s spirit, finding beauty in tragic reality, laughter after pain. Still Life: re forming Nature - Oct. 07 Discerning sensuality in the myriad possibilities presented by floral relationships: vibrant color, warm tangibility, organic complexity, edges of darkness and the fleeting quality of joy and exuberance. Birds! - Feb. 07 Inspired by knowledge gleaned through care of my chickens and by the free dream of flight – evidence of levity. Couture: the art of dressmaking, melds my designer aesthetic sense with beautiful materials, intricate technique and interactive process to engage a client’s personality.

mary thiefels
Ann Arbor Area

My name is Mary Thiefels. I am an Ann Arbor native and have been active in the local arts community for over 10 years. I have enjoyed wearing many hats, working with all kinds of artists in many different capacities. The most influential step I’ve taken in my career as an artist is with public mural art. After 10 years of developing community mural art programs, in South Eastern Michigan, in the fall of 2007, founded public art business, TreeTown Murals. Tree Town Murals is committed to promoting the visual development of local communities by fostering initiatives that support public art. By enhancing our neighborhoods, city centers, and parks with public artwork, we stand out as a community that makes art a part of our daily lives. I believe mural art should reflect the community it lives in, in addition to encouraging community involvement and economic development.

I also teach these retreats in Northern Michigan in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Open to all who want to quest for deep vision with the assistance of the natural world.
