RICKY FRANK - Mendocino Art Center

Meet the TeacherRICKY FRANKCLOISONNÉ ENAMELING – A Playful ApproachAugust 5 – 9Mendocino Art CenterRicky Frank is much in demand both as an instructorin the art of enameling and as an artist who “drawsfrom his background in athletics and self-growth philosophy”to create his one of a kind, limited editiondesigns. His intricate pieces are often “tiny storieshinting at life’s many personal challenges.”Ricky began enameling as a child, “sifting colorsonto pennies and assorted stamped shapes, and firingthem in a small electric hot plate kiln.” A high schooljob working for his father’s electronic instrument businesstaught him the skill of soldering tiny wires, but itwasn’t until after college that he pulled his hobbies andskills together and began creating beautiful cloisonnéjewelry, which he calls “miniature worlds of light andcolor in enamel.” For years he worked exclusively withthe cloisonné/enameling art form in its strictest sense,but the challenge of creating a work of art for a fundraiserfor his daughter’s school has led him in a new,freer and more playful direction. In his new work, hecreates his own tiles – thin, textured pieces of fine silverand 24-karat gold which he cuts up and applies mosaicstyle within the layers of his enamels. Ricky admits thepieces are still small, detailed, and obsessive, but he haslearned to have a lot of fun within a small space (like acloisonné cell)! Color, pattern and texture are highlyp r o n o u n c e din his work.Ricky’s cloisonnéjewelry issold at high endcraft shows andat jewelry storesacross the US.Ricky says,“I want theviewer to experiencethe sensationof swimmingthroughthe rich enamellayers, followingthe subtleshading of colorsand pausingfor a moment atthe light reflectingoff the patterned silver and gold buried deep underthe surface.”60

BRIAN DAVISLUMINOUS OILSJuly 27 – 31Mendocino Art CenterMeet the TeacherBrian Davis had the luxury of growing up withartistic/musical parents who were always supportive ofhis creativity and passion for art making. He was fortunateto have that background, because his subsequentyears studying art were anything BUT encouraging.He went to Cal State Los Angeles to study art, but leftin frustration, feeling pushed by his art instructors indirections he didn’t want to go – primarily, towardsmodern art, when his affinity was for representationalart. After liberating himself from the confines of poorart instruction, he became a successful illustrator. Then,in 1980, he left the commercial art world to becomea fine artist, and has never looked back. Brian is bestknown for his floral art paintings, but has painted manysubjects. Basically, he paints whatever he feels is worthyof painting. Brian’s work is in seven prestigious museums,including The Huntington Library and the LosAngeles County Museum of Art.In the magnificent book Brian Davis: ContemporaryMaster in a Grand Tradition (Collections Editions,Inc., 2006), Patricia Jessup-Woodlin, PhD, AssociateProfessor of Art at Cal State Los Angeles, writes, “BrianDavis is a truly gifted artist. Primarily a painter, he alsotakes joy in exploring and experimenting with a varietyof media, including silkscreen, airbrush, and photography.His subject matter is quite diverse, ranging fromportraiture to landscapes and still life, each beautifullyrendered. . . Following in the steps of a centuries oldrealistic painting tradition, Brian Davis has created apainting style and aesthetic that is uniquely his. Astuteand careful observation are his hallmark, combinedwith sensitive translation of color, line and form. Subtletextures and visual translucency are skillfully capturedin each of his artworks. Using nature as a point ofdeparture, his paintings of flowers convey an exquisiteelegance and luminosity. Each painting has its owngraceful and nuanced personality. They are seductivelycaptivating with a radiance that engages the viewer toembark on a visual journey of discovery and unparalleledbeauty. The paintings of Brian Davis are breathtakingand magnificent examples of a master artist.”61

Meet the TeacherSHA SHA HIGBYWHIRLING SILKEN VISAGES – MasksAugust 14 – 16Performance:August 13th, Matheson Theatre, Mendocino“Unique” doesn’t even begin todescribe Sha Sha Higby, what she creates,and her legendary performances.She designs and makes fabulouscocoon-like costumes for performanceart – costumes made in sculptural layersof fabrics, leaves, twigs, seed pods,batiks, paper, and clay, among otherthings—in which she moves fluidlyand evocatively on the stage, like a lifesizepuppet. Her costumes, masks anddances have been influenced by hertravels in Japan, Indonesia, and India,and by her study of Noh Theatre andshadow puppets. The San FranciscoFringe describes her performances as“a slow unfolding of almost primordial,dreamlike, other worldly imagesand sounds.” In her three-day workshop,Sha Sha will help her studentsdesign and create performance masks,from clay, silk papers, and other materials,concluding with an informal performancefeaturing the masks. HerThursday evening performance precedesthe workshop.Sha Sha says, “I approach dancethrough the medium of sculpture.Using the painterly manipulation ofphysical materials and textures, I makecostumes one by one from wood, paper,silk, ceramic and gold leaf, interwovenwith a labyrinth of delicate props.My work strives to create a path wheremovement and stillness meet. Shreds ofmemory lace into a drama of a thousandintricate pieces, slowly moving, stirringour memory towards a sense of patienceand timelessness. Every time we moveabout, the space around us is filled withdrawings, colorful sketches and complexpatterns. Our thoughts blend into the airand space about us. With my “costumesculptures,” I want to show how weare embraced by the elegant complexityof the atmospheres about us. Emotionsand thoughts cluster on the surface ofour bodies and then break away, fly,and float off. Each bundle of emotionbecomes yet another entity in itself, splittinginto many facets again, and gathering,and returning again to their source. . . On the surface of our skin are multiplelittle theaters and stages. One inchaway from our body is already the skyunder which the drama of a tiny worldunfolds. As the costume stirs itself, it isas if every crevice of movement is filledwith thousands of smaller adventures.”62

KAREN WHEELERPASSIONATE PIXELS IN PHOTOSHOPJuly 27 – 28DIGITAL & MIXED MEDIAJuly 30 – August 2Meet the TeacherKaren Wheeler is a professionalartist, designer, and educatorwith over 20 years experience,specializing in MixedMedia Assemblage, DigitalDesign, Papermaking, andDrawing. Like Brian Davis, shehad the advantage of encouragingparents. She “began her artistlife drawing on the wall of herroom in her childhood homenear Chicago. Fortunately, thisactivity was encouraged by herartist mother, who painted thewall black and provided Karenand her brothers with colorfulchalks.” Karen receiveda BFA from IndianaUniversity and an MFAin Printmaking fromOhio University, thenspecialized in drawingon her own handmadepapers for many years.This work won manynational awards and hasbeen exhibited widely.In the early 1990’s,Karen discoveredAdobe Photoshop andever since has immersedherself in the endlesspossibilities presented by combiningand refining the capabilities ofPhotoshop with traditional media.She currently “integrates drawing,handmade paper and digital imageryinto mixed media assemblages.She begins by making specializedpapers, combining ancientmethods with a modern aesthetic.These lusciously pigmented papersbecome the base for prismacolorand ink drawings which are embellishedwith collage. The drawingsare scanned into Photoshop andused as raw material for digitalpaintings which are then combinedwith other media. Architecturalprints and references tothe natural world blend tocreate a joyful lyricism.”Karen resided for manyyears in North Carolina,where she was a professorof art at WingateUniversity, and is in theprocess of relocating toNew Haven, Connecticut.Karen has a special abilityto teach Photoshop inaccessible terms.63
