Press Release
For Immediate Release
From: Loretta Peterman
Arts Rolla Presents Women Who Create Exhibit
During the Month of February
January 29, 2024- During the month of February, Arts Rolla is pleased to showcase an exhibit of original art called Women Who Create at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex located at 1200 Holloway, Rolla, MO. The exhibit features the work of Luce Myers, Haydee Raymond, Laurie Myers, Connie Shoemaker, Jessica Carney Moritz-Humphrey and friends.
The exhibit will include more than 50 works of original art created by some exceptional Missouri artists.
The public is invited to the First Friday Opening Reception on February 2, between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm. to view this exhibit and to meet the artists and members of the art community. The First Friday Opening Reception is free and open to the public.
Speaking of the Arts will begin at 6 pm and will give the artists an opportunity to talk about their art, their work in progress, upcoming workshops and insight into the art community.
About the artists:
Luce Myers has taught art and music intermittently for the past 50 years, from pre-school to university, art museum, to private classes. It has always been a delight to share the wonders of nature through teaching art, as well as inspiring my students to be creative and to see the connections in all living things as part of critical thinking. In the elementary, I had a thick black yarn web below the entire ceiling- the Web of life- and on each strand, another creature. When you pull on the mosquito, you impact the bat, etc. Art has been the lens or vehicle for studying nature and science. My favorite art show at Missouri S&T was called: “Art Inspired by Science and Engineering”, with 42 amazing submissions from professors, students, faculty, staff, and professional community artists. Now with my university students, I am continually inspired. Their perspectives inform me, and their commentaries on art and culture are personal and profound. I am excited to learn about how they can make a difference. Art can be activism, healing, informative, a dedication, or a humble celebration of beauty. As Ruth Asawa said: “An artist is not special. An artist is an ordinary person who can take ordinary things and make them special.” ..and able to put the attention on the extraordinary. Someone once said that a good teacher can become a bridge for her students to cross over and excel beyond her teaching.
Haydee Raymond’s artistic creative journey began as a little girl who immigrated to the US from the Dominican Republic. Unable to speak the language and feeling isolated and scared, I found myself coloring and drawing in order to find my voice. I’ve loved art and creating and dreaming ever since. If it was up to me. I would be in constant creative mode. When I paint it is not work, for me it is healing, dreaming, communicating and playing. Playing with paints, paper, fabric, glitter, yarn and so many other found objects. Painting for a living is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. I paint what I love and what interests me the most. I paint mostly women. Women I know personally and admire as well as historical and present-day women of substance. These women have impacted the world without receiving much credit for their efforts. Women like my mother and grandmother who faced so many obstacles in life and overcame them. I paint them so their stories, strength, beauty, voices, can be heard and remembered. I feel their portraits will help other women work through their own crises and struggles. I paint my beauties with bursts of vibrant colors that seem to be dancing and colliding together in wonderful wild and perfect harmony. I also use decorative papers in different arrangements to make the piece more textured and interesting. Glitter, stamps, stencils will also be used .I find the process of creating to be joyful and healing. Perhaps one of the best things about my creations is the stories that these women have locked in their eyes and facial expressions. I think it's important for me to paint them in a way that helps tell their stories.
Laurie E. Herrman Myers has been blessed for thirty-five years by literally thousands of students as I have had the ultimate privilege of teaching them about art and individual expression. Many say teachers have an incredible impact on their students and, as I wholeheartedly agree, I must say my perspective on art, expression, and life has been greatly affected by students! My students impact me every day with the amazing strength and positive attitude they seem to so naturally possess. The excitement my students display with learning makes every day and every project a new journey for me. Their pure ability to forgive, accept, and love also encourages me. The simple forgiving nature of a child is somewhat similar to the forgiving possibilities of a digital photograph, a brush stroke on an acrylic painting, or an eraser on a pencil drawing. All of these assist me in my own individual expression!
While drawing, painting, and photographing for others has driven my personal art over my life, my amazing family and incredible students has led me to challenge myself in other forms of expression as well. Through various art media, I teach my students life-long skills which will assist them in any career they choose as well as a creative outlet to express themselves. The viewer of my work can look into my heart and mind as each piece reveals something about my life; something I also pull from my students as they create. Although most of my experience has been in photography, acrylics, and pencil, I enjoy pushing myself to learn more and the creative expressions I can gain and in turn, share with my students.
Jessica Carney Moritz-Humphrey was born and raised in Rolla MO. She graduated from Rolla High School in 2000. It was during those high school years that she fell in love with art, and was strongly encouraged to take the art educator path by her art teachers. In 2006 she obtained a BA in Education from MS&T and began her teaching career at Rolla Middle School that fall. Eighteen years later she continues to teach at RMS and has achieved a Master’s degree from William Woods University and a Specialist degree from Southwest Missouri State University. As an art educator she dabbles in many different media, although pottery always holds a special place in her heart. She is greatly inspired by nature as well as some of her favorite artists such as Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, and Yayoi Kusama.
Connie Shoemaker, Ed.S., is an art educator/artist. A UCM (‘93”) graduate, she has taught art for 30 years. She teaches Applied Arts at Rolla High School and Painting and Sculpture at the University of Missouri, Science & Technology. Connie has served as the Missouri Art Education Association Youth Art Month Chair, Association President, and Delegate to the National Art Education Association. She has been recognized at the state and national level for teaching, most recently as a Western Region Art Educator of the Year. Connie is passionate about the value of arts education and has been involved with shaping state and national fine arts standards. When not advocating for the arts and sharing her love of learning with students you can find Connie at home with her husband, Jim, and their fur-baby, Rosie, enjoying the outdoors and/or working on her latest art project.

Arts Rolla Presents the Work of William Oberholtzer During The Month of January
December 19, 2022- Arts Rolla is pleased to present a unique exhibit of original photography created by William Oberholtzer during the month of January 2023. The exhibit will be installed on December 27 and remain on display throughout the month of January 2023 at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex.
The public is invited to the First Friday Opening Reception which will be held at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex on January 6 between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm.
About the Artist:
Missouri photographer William Oberholtzer is a skilled photographer that tells a story with each image. His photographs have been shown in Pulaski, Phelps, and Green counties and on the internet. He loves to shoot landscapes, animals, portraits, and anything that catches his eye.
He bought his first camera while stationed in Germany. It was a Honeywell Pentax film camera. Sometime in the 80s, his wife Linda, told him that he needed a hobby, so he bought his first digital camera a Nikon D50.
Mr. Oberholtzer has been married to Linda for 53 years. They have two children and six grandchildren. He retired from the US Army in 1991. He then attended Jacksonville State University where he earned a Bachelor and Master’s `degree in education. Following graduation, he hired on with the US Army Military Police School as a training developer. And then moved to the Ozarks. He has found that the Ozarks is a target rich environment for his camera.
“You won’t want to miss this exhibit. William Oberholtzer has been a longtime supporter and participant in the arts and his work has received several awards. Each photograph draws the viewer to look closer and shares a story or a feeling. He is excellent at capturing the essence of the subject with a single photograph,” says Loretta Peterman, president of Arts Rolla.
We invite the public to drop by The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex on January 6 between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm. to view this exhibit and meet the photographer.

Dan Woodward Retrospective Scheduled for
January 2022
December 13, 2021 – Rolla, MO - Arts Rolla is pleased to partner with the Arts and Education Council to present the work of Missouri artist, Dan Woodward. Dan Woodward’s art will be featured during the month of January in a special exhibit, The Dan Woodward Retrospective. The exhibit will be available for the public to enjoy at The Centre – Rolla’s Health & Recreation Complex located at 1200 Holloway Street, Rolla, MO throughout the month of January.
The public is invited to attend the First Friday Opening Reception on January 7 between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm to enjoy the exhibit and meet the artist. Dan Woodward will lead an informative and interactive discussion at 6 pm, which is free and open to the public.
Dan is a professional artist, composer, writer, and educator with a passion for the arts. His formal training was at California State University, Los Angeles. However, Dan is a lifelong learner, and he continued his studies with realist painter, Frederick Sillers a well know artist in Washington D.C. and he has also studied etching with master printmaker, Robert Freeman of San Marcos, California. The work of Rockwell Kent, Thomas Hart Benton, Winslow Homer and George Inness have also influenced Dan’s art.
Dan Woodward’s art has been displayed throughout the United States and recently his “Impressions of the Civil War in the West” exhibit was featured at the Lutheran Heritage Center & Museum in Altenburg, Missouri.
“This exhibit will reflect many years of Dan’s work and cover a wide range of subjects and styles. Dan’s careful research has resulted in many works that share historically accurate details of life prior to the 1900s. This body of work shares decades of creativity”, said Loretta Peterman, president of Arts Rolla.
This exhibit has been funded in part by the Arts and Education Council.

Arts Rolla Presents the 32nd Annual Art Exhibition & Judged Competition
Participating artists are: David Breuer, Paula Brewer, Carol Broyles, Mary Corn, Gail Daniel, Sophia DeLaat, Lori Doty, Gary Duncan, Lynn Grannemann, Suzanne Hooke-Schacher, Joyce Housner, Mary Lowe, Lorraine McFarland, Michael McKelvy, Orval Reeves, Ellen Reynolds, Jan Roberts, Fred Schollmeyer, Mehgan Seltzer, Erin Sipes, Georgia Lynn Slawson, Jax Welborn and Sarah West.
November 5, 2019 - Arts Rolla is pleased to present the 32nd Annual Art Exhibition & Judged Competition at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex during the month of November. This exhibit showcases 38 original works of art from some of Missouri’s best artists. The exhibit includes wood carving, mixed media, oil, watercolor, pencil, carved gourds, porcelain, India ink, pastel, acrylic, and wood block.
Roberto Regalado, owner of Laughingwell Studio served as judge for this year’s competition. “As a professional artist that has painted for the last forty years, I always want the Best of Show to be a big painting. A traditional Impressionist style with heavy brush strokes and bright colors. So much paint on the canvas, it causes shadows. Imagine my surprise when the Best of Show has subtle and muted colors. To me, the best work of art displays talent, discipline, a passion for your craft, years of tenacity with the end result in a Best of Show. This in no way diminished the other participants and their efforts. This art show in Rolla was a strong showing. I appreciate every artist’s integrity and effort.”
The judge selected the following works for recognition:
Best of Show - “Berry Good Time” by Michael McKelvy
Diane Knight Memorial Award for 2nd Place - “Path to Peaceful” by Lorraine McFarland
Jeanenne Silleck Memorial Award for 3rd Place - “Beauty for Ashes” by Sophia Delaat.
Honorable Mention - “Thor” by David Breuer
Honorable Mention - “Lono” by David Breuer
Honorable Mention - “Conspiracy of Ravens’ by Sophia DeLaat
Honorable Mention - “Memories” by Jan Roberts
Honorable Mention - “Building America” by Fred Schollmeyer
Award of Excellence - “Do You See What I See?” by K. Lynn Grannemann
Award of Excellence - “Portrait of My Father” by Mary Lowe
Award of Excellence - “Moving Clouds” by Orval Reeves
Award of Excellence - “Let There Be Light” by Ellen Reynolds
Awards were presented to the artists during the First Friday Opening Reception by Briana and Michael Calkins from the Phelps County Bank and juror, Roberto Regalado.

Arts Rolla Presents the Artwork of Michael Helm and Jerry B. Watkins
September 2, 2019 - Arts Rolla is pleased to invite the public to our First Friday Opening Reception, which will be held on September 6 between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Recreation Complex located at 1200 Holloway St., Rolla, MO to enjoy the opening of our September exhibit.
The September exhibit features the work of two Missouri artists, Michael Helm from Salem and Jerry B. Watkins from Waynesville. “This exhibit showcases the work of two exceptional artists that have very different styles. The subject matter of this exhibit is thought provoking and is sure to generate many great conversations,” said Loretta Wallis, President.
About our artists:
Jerry B. Watkins
I am fine artist and graphic designer. I have been in art my whole career, beginning as a paste-up artist and darkroom technician for a screen printer in my junior year of high school. I was recommended for the job by my art teacher, which I hold responsible for everything that has happened since.
I attended the Art Institute of Atlanta, for Commercial Art and Advertising Design. I left the screen printer shortly after school for stints as a designer in Specialty Advertising and the Sign Industry. I moved to the Washington, DC area in 1989 and had the wonderful opportunity to be apprenticed to one of the industries greatest artists in Gunther Kilsheimer at the Art Display Company. Gunther is best known for designing the Toys R Us logo, Theater Marquee Graphics of the 1950s and Presidential Inauguration Parade decor. I learned from him most notably the knowledge of design and layout, color balance and the importance of empty space.
Some computer knowledge led me to be recommended to take over for a leaving manager of the computer graphics department, which at the time was in its elementary stages. Gunther was resistant to computers and stated that, “he would not invest in computers until they could do what he could do with a paint brush.” It was about a year later that I accompanied him to an expo to bring in the technology. I was an early pioneer of photo rendering and trade graphics for the industry. I had learned much from the fine artists, painters and metal craftsmen in the industry who were soon retiring or adapting to computer driven replacements in the industry. Finally, the computers were to take over the Design Department which I was put in charge of as Art Director in 1993. The challenge to develop computer graphics to mimic and replace hand drawn, painted and rendered graphics was an exciting field to be in at the time.
I then moved into sales in 2000 and enjoyed many years as a senior sales executive/designer and worked with many high-end companies and on many memorable projects all over the country. My clients included outdoor advertising, theaters, restaurants, sports teams, and rendering and preparing design criteria for city and community development working with developers and municipalities from Atlanta to New York.
I have been a semi-retired independent artist since 2006, working for many industries. I take on projects as they interest me and work from design to coordination of production and as a project manager.
I paint in acrylic and oil, draw, scan, photograph, edit with my computer and my smartphone – my easel in my pocket. I am currently pursuing grants for establishing an art center for computer graphics and fine arts classes as well as a space to display and for online sales of the art created.
Michael Helm
Michael Helm began drawing and painting at an early age. Self-taught he sold oil painting portraits to neighbors when he was 9 yrs. old Before he was a teenager Michael would walk to the St. Louis Art Museum, and lose himself among ancient artwork, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Monet and many others.
Michael's first oil painting was a reproduction of “Girl Reading a Book”. It disappeared from a local art show.
He has shown his artwork in several venues. He showed several times at the St. Louis Artist Guild exhibits. Michael joined several drawing groups at SLU, Washington U and Webster U. There he met several established professional artists who gave him tips and advice speaking into his art.
Michael joined an art studio and learned the commercial art business. He became Vice President of a commercial art studio and worked for several years with Add Agencies and large companies like Kellogg and Anheuser Busch. Then Michael freelanced for several more years.
After Michael experienced several (personal tragedies) he found himself living in an abandoned schoolhouse. When he got back on his feet a little, he joined Spring Creek Artisans, (in Salem) Arts Rolla, and showed several times in National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society exhibits.
He has created murals, sets for plays, taught art classes, created logos, and just generally tried to be creative.
Unable to make a living making art Michael began working at a local school as a paraprofessional.
After Michael's wife Barbara passed away, he quit painting for several years. Recently he has begun painting again and rejoined Arts Rolla. Michael has retained several of his old paintings which were enjoyed by many people. They will be displayed along with several new works.
Michael attempts to create art to cause emotional responses, Dan Woodward has referred to his work as “In your face art”. If his art makes you feel entertained, elated. Sad or uneasy he feels that he is successful.
The First Friday Opening Reception provides an opportunity to enjoy the new exhibit, meet the artists and learn more about the art. Everyone is welcome. The exhibit will be on display throughout the month of September.
Financial support for this event has been partially provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support was provided by the members of Arts Rolla.

Michael joined an art studio and learned the commercial art business. He became Vice President of a commercial art studio and worked for several years with Add Agencies and large companies like Kellogg and Anheuser Busch. Then Michael freelanced for several more years.
After Michael experienced several (personal tragedies) he found himself living in an abandoned schoolhouse. When he got back on his feet a little, he joined Spring Creek Artisans, (in Salem) Arts Rolla, and showed several times in National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society exhibits.
He has created murals, sets for plays, taught art classes, created logos, and just generally tried to be creative.
Unable to make a living making art Michael began working at a local school as a paraprofessional.
After Michael's wife Barbara passed away, he quit painting for several years. Recently he has begun painting again and rejoined Arts Rolla. Michael has retained several of his old paintings which were enjoyed by many people. They will be displayed along with several new works.
Michael attempts to create art to cause emotional responses, Dan Woodward has referred to his work as “In your face art”. If his art makes you feel entertained, elated. Sad or uneasy he feels that he is successful.
The First Friday Opening Reception provides an opportunity to enjoy the new exhibit, meet the artists and learn more about the art. Everyone is welcome. The exhibit will be on display throughout the month of September.
Financial support for this event has been partially provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support was provided by the members of Arts Rolla.

About our Artists -
Paula Turney Brewer
I began drawing at age 10. Then went to North Texas University and received a Bachelors and Masters of Art. I taught art. But my true education and growth in my art only started when I began producing my own artwork. You never reach a point where you feel you know all there is to know about artwork. The learning experiences never end. The quote below, by artist Yan Lee, explains it much better than I can. “When I draw the tree, I try to learn from the tree. The tree is my teacher.”
K. Lynn Grannemann
As an artist, Lynn works representationally in several mediums, although primarily in pastel. The natural beauty surrounding her Ozark home is a dominant theme, especially in rivers and streams. She tries to communicate the beauty through her art.
Lynn is happy to be a Missouri artist. She received her first purchase award at the age of eight. Lynn studied at the University of Missouri-Columbia where she earned a B.S. in Art Education. She has continued her formal art education at numerous workshops. She has been teaching privately for many years. She is a founding member of Gateway Pastel Artists.
Professional societies and galleries have chosen Lynn’s works for exhibition in many states, including Massachusetts, Oregon, New Mexico, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Kansas, Colorado, Arkansas, Utah, South Dakota, and extensively in Missouri. Her work was featured in an International Association of Pastel Artists Exhibit and the Missouri River Centennial Exhibition.
Lynn’s paintings are in the collections of Missouri University of Science and Technology, Phelps County Bank, Phelps Health, Brewer Science and many private collections.
Luce Myers
I have been an art or music educator for most of my life, teaching in private and public schools, an Art Museum, and at Missouri S&T for the past 14 years. My students constantly inspire me.
With an interest in Art as activism, and conservation, much of my teaching and work is inspired by the science of nature. Clay is my main medium, followed by color. The Mandala is a reoccurring theme in my work, representing the interrelatedness of all things living. Art is a vehicle for saying some things that need to be said. Things expressed in the arts bypass the analytical brain and are more easily digested prior to resistance.
Quoting Mary Lou Corn: “There is enough ugliness in the world, why not paint beauty?”
What we focus on expands. If we can increase our love and appreciation for nature
We are more likely to protect her.
Donna Roberts
With an interest in learning about different mediums, Donna Roberts has recently settled on acrylic pours. "You get to use a torch, so I'm in," she laughs.
"I like experimenting with additives," she says. "I've dumped all kinds of things into this paint. Dish liquid, water repellent, all kinds of oil and glue, alcohol, computer inks... Then I torch it all to see what happens.”
"I guess I like that lack of control. You think you're going to do a certain thing but the paint behaves in a way you've never seen and so you reassess. I like that unpredictability."
Over the decades, Roberts has explored several mediums including acrylic, watercolor, pen and ink, mixed media, assemblage, pastel and clay.

Arts Rolla January Exhibit Features the Art of
Dan Woodward and David Lo
January 3, 2019 - Rolla, MO – Arts Rolla is pleased host an exhibit of original artwork called “Portraits of Artists and Friends”, created by Dan Woodward and David Lo.
The public is invited to our First Friday Opening Reception which will be held on January 4 between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm at The Centre – Rolla’s Health and Wellness Complex. The exhibit will remain on display throughout the month of January at The Centre.
About Our Artists:
David Lo
David Lo is a self-taught artist who focuses on pencil and acrylic. He enjoys drawing and painting ranging from portraits to nature sceneries to fantasies. His style of art is realism inspired. The majority of his art is his interpretation of nature and human societal characteristics.
David has been drawing and painting for several years. Most of his works are from simple line drawing to paining of vibrant colors sceneries where he places focus on details.
David resides in Salem, Missouri with his family and enjoys weekend photography and fishing along the many rivers of the beautiful Ozarks, He also enjoys woodworking and designing and creating various art inspired projects.
Dan Woodward
Dan Woodward, an internationally shown Rolla artist, says, “I take pleasure recording the quickly vanishing world of natural wilderness and historical identity, particularly people and places. My contribution to this month’s joint exhibit with David is a look back at 30-plus years of friendship in the arts. Because so many artists have painted in the Rolla area over the years and new talent continually arrives, I decided to limit my portrait sketches for this particular show to a group of artists whom I have known for a very long time. Most of them are still happily active in our art community.”
(In addition, I’ve added two portraits by local artists, the late Ruth Faulkner and Elizabeth Bell, who were active in Rolla many years ago whose portraits will bring back fond memories to many.)

Art Communities Facing Hard Times
You have probably all heard that federal and state grants to support the arts have been decreasing for the past several years, and especially sharp cuts are possible this coming year. Arts Rolla relies on grants to cover over half our budget.
We have been good stewards of the funds entrusted to us by the government and Arts Rolla members. The Arts Rolla board members are all unpaid volunteers, we have just one employee (part time) whose yeoman work is invaluable for us, and much of our expenses goes to rent for our office space.
We are committed to bringing fine art to our region and fostering local talent. We have never issued an appeal for funds before (other than membership dues), but we’re issuing one now.
We need your help. We have sufficient funds to operate for another few years but don’t want to wait for the situation to become desperate before bringing it to public attention
If you can make a donation to Arts Rolla, that would of course be deeply appreciated. And if you are not yet a member, please consider joining.
Contact Arts Rolla at 573 364 5539 to learn more.

About our Artists
Rosalie Bolon
Art is a passion ..... an intoxicating, compulsive need to not only create, but also to have those creations emotionally touch the heart of the viewer.
Born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks, Rosalie Bolon finds inspiration in the beauty of the
natural world. Having no formal training she experimented with numerous mediums, including pencil drawing, pastels, watercolors, etchings, oils and acrylics, attending short series of classes whenever possible with local artists. While appreciating all styles of art, her personal style leans toward the realistic side. Her subject matter is predominately landscapes and at present predominately in oils and acrylics. Over the past 30 years, her work has been exhibited in numerous shows, including juried exhibitions. Her work can be found in private collections in Idaho, Texas, California, Colorado, Ohio and Missouri. For a period of approximately 14 years in the late 1980's and early 1990's, she taught both private and group lessons in oils and drawing in the Rolla & St James area, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Nothing is more rewarding than helping someone else discover the joy of creating.
Her exhibit at the Centre is "From Then Till Now" and encompasses a sampling of work from
the past 30 years. She resides near Rolla with Charlie, her husband of 45 years.
Lisa Laney Story
My love for photography started many years ago in the usual way, by taking pictures of family and friends. It cranked up a notch when I moved to a farm with a 3 acre lake and a view of gorgeous sunsets. Then, throw in homesteader yearnings that required pygmy goats, waddling ducks, angora bunnies, free range chickens in varying shades of iridescent colors, a giant of a Great Pyrenees dog to watch over all, and my interest in photography took a new turn. Next came the years of selling the farm, romance with an avid hiker and kayaker and subsequent marriage to said adventurer, and a whole new direction unfolded for my photography. Landscape photography is now my passionate love. My husband Greg and I not only hike the Ozark trails and kayak the Ozark streams but also travel through the scenic and exciting western half of our beautiful country, me with camera in hand.
I intend for my photographs to be not only memorabilia for me and my family but also inspiration for others who would catch the spirit of exploration and enjoy their own adventures. My goal is that by learning to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of our planet, it will make environmentalists of us all in a natural, joyful sort of way, AND brighten our thoughts through exercise and fresh air!
I believe the ever-changing kaleidoscope of my life will bring new dimensions for my
photography in the coming years, and I'm always looking forward to the next inspiration.

About Bella Arts Group
A group of artists began helping Grette Herrick at her Old Court House Studio And Gallery in the early 1990s. This was the beginning of what was to become the Bella Arts group. There have been various numbers of members that have come and gone over the years, with a core of members that have been with the group since the very beginning. The group meets on a monthly basis to look at artwork that each has produced and then to critique and give helpful suggestions. The goal of the various members that have been a part of this group over the years has remained the same. That goal is to produce artwork of the highest possible quality. We value the opinions of our group and also enjoy their company.

About Bella Arts Group
A group of artists began helping Grette Herrick at her Old Court House Studio And Gallery in the early 1990s. This was the beginning of what was to become the Bella Arts group. There have been various numbers of members that have come and gone over the years, with a core of members that have been with the group since the very beginning. The group meets on a monthly basis to look at artwork that each has produced and then to critique and give helpful suggestions. The goal of the various members that have been a part of this group over the years has remained the same. That goal is to produce artwork of the highest possible quality. We value the opinions of our group and also enjoy their company.

About our Artists
Kelene Karetski
I have been creating art since I was a small child. I started finger painting at a young age and was hooked on art from then on. My inspirations come from the masters with Picasso being one of my favorites. I keep creating constantly which helps me strive to be better and to push myself as far as I can go in imagination. I love color and use it a lot in my paintings and drawings. I mainly paint in acrylic on canvas but also on wood and paper.
Loma Rothmund
I have always been an artist, even when I didn’t believe I was. I have lived & breathed art my whole life. Born and raised in Arizona I had the beauty of the AZ White Mountains/ Mogollon Rim as a playground and only a few miles away the vastness and beauty of the desert. I also came from a long line of artists. My great-great grandmother came from Norway and painted her memories of her homeland. My mother could create beauty with fabrics and paints and I inherited her collection of buttons and beads. Mom’s youngest brother was a well-known artist, Ray C. Davis, in the southwest of paintings, beadwork & mosaic works. I find a way to make art/create out of anything I have on hand. I paint in oils. I paint with fabrics, and beads, as well as pixel paint on the computer. After my mother’s death I used my inheritance (money) to take 10 weeks and go to San Francisco to the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts to become a silversmith and jeweler.

Arts Rolla 21st Juried Photography Exhibit
During the month of May, Arts Rolla held our 21st Annual Juried Photography Exhibit.
The exhibit featured the work of Missouri photographers age 16 and older.
Wildlife photographer, Dan Brown served as jury and judge this exhibit and asked to share the following message with the participants.
Note from our Juror , Danny Brown
I was honored to judge the "Arts Rolla" photography contest, a competition with over two decades of tradition. As soon as I entered the exhibit hall, I noticed several photographs that "popped" from their frames, compelling me to take a closer look. Judging is so much easier when there is a solid pool of top-notch images from which to choose. As I began the process, I was pleased to see a great variety of subjects, ranging from western mountain vistas to the simplest Ozark flower. I was also glad to see a nice mix of journalistic photography intermingled with the large proportion of nature photographs. My selection process was simple. First I chose all of the photos that spoke to me in some way, based on beauty, elegance, or the story they told. Next, I took a closer look at each of those images to evaluate more technical aspects, including exposure, composition, and the use of light, something I find critical to every great photograph. Finally, I made my selections, including several honorable mentions. If you were a winner, my congratulations to you on your excellent work. If you didn't win this go around, I encourage you to forge on with your passion for photography and learn from your colleagues. Your time will come!
