Letter from the President
Hello and Happy New Year!
It is an honor to serve once again as president of the Whitewater
Arts Alliance. We have a terrific Board of Directors, and we are all
eager to hear from you and help keep the creative juices flowing in
our community. So let us know if you have any suggestions or
concerns.
Our year in the Cultural Arts Center is shaping up nicely. Derek
Hambly will return in January with his bright, bold abstracts, his
series “Derek Paints the Towns,” and a new series based on the
gods/goddesses from mythology. That should brighten up a cold
winter day! In February we will host a group of artists from the
Johnson Creek area, in May the annual Whitewater School
District Show with every school participating this year (and the
LINCS African drummers), in June the WRAP Show, and in July
the annual Fran Achen Photography Contest. Get those cameras
going now! We do have a few open months, so let us know if you
have an idea – or would like to exhibit your work.
Everyone should have received information to renew memberships
in early December. We thank those of you who have already responded and encourage others to get that in the mail soon. Memberships play a vital role in our financial planning.
And we are always looking for volunteers, so if you can serve as a
docent for a few hours, would like to help hang a show (no experience is needed), or can bake for a reception, please give me a call
at 262-473-5538.
We look forward to seeing you at the CAC soon!
Sincerely,
Linda Long
President

2014 CAC Volunteers: Amazing — by Mary Kenne
Hosts at the Cultural Arts
Center were docents for ten
months in 2014, and they
were terrific! Docents hosted more than 1,100 visitors
during the 590 hours that
the CAC was open for viewing. Thirty five volunteers
plus a cadre of UWW students were instrumental in
keeping the arts alive in
Whitewater.
Art Association president,
Taylor McDarison, and her
friends and associates hosted 90 hours. Taylor, herself,
logged 35 hours and another
stalwart volunteer was Zack
Simonson with 22.5 hours.
One of the former student
volunteers, Gail Wiladsen
(15) and Jessica Konitz (2.5)
continued to host for the exhibits.
First let’s salute those who
have been faithful volunteers
since the first year of 2008.
The following folks are the
faithful ones with their
hours this year in parenthesis: Karen Coburn (7.5), Virginia Coburn (15), Karen
Christofferson (20), Virginia
Epps (70), Joyce Follis (5),
Louise Frawley (2.5), Kathy
Haven (10), Carol Holford
(27.5), Dawn and Lyle
Hunter (42.5), Pat Jacobson
(10), Marcia James (20),
Mary Peiffer (12.5), Jane
Roberts (17.5), Pat Saunders
(10), Shirley Scharine
( 22.5), and Evelyn Snyder
(12.5).
Board members have also
stepped forward when there
was a crunch, such as
Katherine Conover (7.5), Jim
Disrude (2.5), Diane Flood
(5), and Linda Long (57.5),
as well as our news editor,
Marjorie Stoneman (5).
Former board members such
as Roni Telfer and Joyce
Follis continue to support
the hosting system through
their opening and closing of
the center during the exhibits. Exhibiting artists such
as Judy Dern (5), Doris Hansen (5) and Darlene Jansen
(10) have also contributed
their time. Friends of
friends such as Kris
Cameron (12.5) and our
newest volunteers: Dawn
Hytry (2.5), Dee Simon (2.5),
Over the years, the students
from various clubs or associations have given of their
time to act as hosts. This
year we have been very fortunate to have the Student
Page 3
Gayle Stettler (2.5), Shirley
Wickersheimer (5) and Terry
Tuton (2.5) have kept our
lights on.
Also, we want to thank
Marilyn Fuerstenberg for her
work in organizing and hosting the watercolor workshops. They have been educational for the artists and
profitable for the WAA!
Thank you is never enough
but it is most sincerely said
to those above for their dedication and support in 2014.

January 2015 at the CAC—Derek Hambly
During the month of
January, art lovers will enjoy
an exhibit by returning artist
Derek Hambly, whose works
will be on display at the
Whitewater Arts Alliance's
Cultural Arts Center, 402
West Main Street, until
January 25. The show will
be open Fridays, Saturdays
and Sundays from noon to
5 p.m. and will feature three
parts:

Whitewater. Derek has been
a great supporter of our
community arts program,
and has participated in our
public art project for several
years. I hope everyone gets
a chance to come visit the
CAC to enjoy his great talent.”

characters in Greek mythology.

Artist's Statement:
“I am looking for the ultimate
power of art through color,
shape and form.
From the 1960’s to the present, the evolution of my
work has gone from landscape to pure, hard-edge abstraction, to what is now a
more symbolic and personal
abstract expression. It has
been a major search for this
ultimate power of art, and I
am always looking for the
elements that will create the
most powerful painting ever
painted.
I started out painting landscapes at the beginning of
my art career. My present
abstractions have grown out
of the symbols and forces
which I discovered painting
those landscapes, over and
over.
For an artist to develop themselves and their work, they
need to get down to what
they’re about and their own
journey as a creator. It's only
then that one can get close to
finding the truth, and being a
truth seeker, which is the
most important part about
being a truly fine artist.”

February Features a Variety of Forms at the CAC
Art by Varla Bishop and Alison
Meschke, of Johnson Creek, and Susan
Kotur and Trisha Sloan, of Watertown,
will grace the Whitewater Arts Alliance’s
Cultural Arts Center, 402 West Main
Street, Whitewater, from February 6 to
February 22. The show, featuring a variety of forms from paper
to canvas to saw-blades to porcelain, will run Fridays, Saturdays,
and Sundays in February. Three
of the artists will be on-hand to
meet visitors at a free reception
on Saturday, February 7 from
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Varla Bishop, coordinator of the show,
said, “The love of art has always been a
part of each of our lives. The four of us
came together a few years ago while taking a class. We fast became friends and
when that class ended we decided to
form a social group
just for artists who
love to create. We
meet once a week at
the Watertown Senior
Center. We are delighted to expand our
exhibit horizon and share our art in
Whitewater.”
In addition to the variety of forms on
which the artists paint, each of the four
artists has a different painting style:
Varla Bishop, of Johnson
Creek, paints a broad range
of subjects on watercolor paper and canvas (photo above
and to right) In this show it
is all about sheep, birds,

zebra’s and more.
Susan Kotur, of Watertown,
loves color and has a contemporary style (photo left and
right). She has always enjoyed the arts and recently has been focused on watercolor
pen and ink art. She
does landscapes, people and animals all bright and colorful.
Alison Meschke, of Johnson Creek, enjoys painting beloved pets on a milk can or a
family’s lake cottage on a mailbox. The projects she paints are limitless. Alison will have
at the show her painted saw blades, saws and
more. She does custom painting orders, and
will happily brainstorm different ideas.
Trisha Sloan, of Watertown, paints oil on
porcelain (photo below right.) The art pieces
include vases, pictures and memento boxes.
Each piece is an original
and is uniquely designed.
Painting porcelain involves
a process of layering paint,
with a kiln drying process
between each painting
phase.
Linda Long, president of the
Whitewater Arts Alliance,
said, "We are expanding our reach for artists as
we host these women from the Johnson Creek
and Watertown areas. It reminds me
again how fortunate we are to have the support
for the arts in our community."

"Recycled Creations". ‘These pieces of art
are all made of recycled material that I have
collected. It’s important to me to put things
from my life in my art, such as tools from
work, paper and ribbon from my kid’s birthday and Christmas gifts. I put bones, rocks,
and fossils from archeology finds. I include

favorite median is watercolor and she
spends many happy hours painting and
creating paintings, mostly from her own
photography. She is always looking for new
and different topics to put onto paper.
Sandra Vobian, when she sits down to create a watercolor painting, finds that any
stress or worries that may be on the horizon are quickly diminished and her
thoughts are freely focused on creation.
She feels that her ability to create is a gift,
a blessing from a higher power and she
is thankful for any talent she has been
given. She hopes that her art and creations
bring a touch of joy and happiness to all
who observe it.

January will showcase one of our students,
Steven Durchslag. Steven has been with us
for three years now and we are sad to have
him missing in the Studio. He has recently
moved closer to
family. To honor
this incredible
man, we have over
75 of his works on
exhibit in a Retrospective. Steven's
early works were
simple line drawings of his favorite
symbols of cake,
snowmen, pumpkins and globs of
taffy created on
white paper with
markers. That is what he knew. In the
short time he's been with us, he never spoke
much, but his art soon did. We learned he
has an intuitive sense of color and composition. He learned to work in layers of rich
color and textures as he cut out is favorite
shapes and reapplied them into collages. His work with mono printing are amazing layers of color and he always knew when
one was complete.

had a hidden artistic voice. His work has
grown tremendously since coming to paint
at the Studio. He's learned so much and
we can't get enough of him. Often using
