August Art Walk- East Side

As we prepare for this Friday's Art Walk, we wanted to share a little more information about the artists and art you will see. You can view a complete list of participating locations here: http://jacksoncountyarts.blogspot.com/p/final-friday-art-walk.html 

Uptown Treasures- Dusty Snethen

            Dusty Snethen is a life long Kansas resident who credits his love of art to early days spent with crayons and coloring books. Eventually he would take his coloring skills to Kansas University where he majored in Commercial Art. There he quickly realized that he preferred to create art for himself as opposed for others and switched his major to education. “Too me art is very personal, and although I may paint subjects who are fairly mainstream, there is a deep personal reason for me choosing the characters, musicians, actors etc. that I select.” Dusty now teaches fifth grade in Topeka Kansas where he lives with his wife and two children.

            Hammered dulcimer music by Fred Appelhanz 

"I have been playing guitar (6 and 12 string) since 1975 and the hammer dulcimer since 2000. Also have written about 10 songs of my own material.

My style of music would be mostly Folk with a little Celtic."

A Holton High School graduate, Cindy Reichle works in pencil, colored pencil, and paint. She has recently completed a mural on the back of White Law Office, visible from the alley.

Edward Jones- April Lemon

After dedicating 6 years to service in the Coast Guard and 20 years to family, April started pursuing her dream of becoming an artist. She is studying Glass at Emporia State University where she has participated in juried art shows and won the prestigious Art 96 Scholarship.

"An artist is someone who can look at what most see as a pile of junk and see beauty and meaning within the chaos, then take those elements that they have seen, put the pieces together in such a way as to share their vision with the world. I try to do this in my life as well as my art, and my hope is that when I someday leave this world that the people who have known me and my work might somehow be affected for the good."

Lee’s Flowers & Gifts- Holton High School Students, teacher: Cullen Jackson

Jim Hunley Studio- Jim Hunley
