INVITATION TO SHOW ART FROM YOUR HOME IN THE JUNE GALLERY
|
What art do you have hanging in your home? The Creative Spirits Art Gallery Team is creating a gallery for the month of June 2017 out of art that is around us in our daily life. Please bring a piece of art to hang in our gallery that is meaningful in your life, for example:
- celebrating a person or group of people - inspiring wonder and curiosity - created by you or someone you know. We are interested in framed photography, pottery, paintings, quilts, sculpture...maybe even Lego art! What you share does not have to be professionally done! Be prepared to tell us why it is meaningful to you, and/or tell us the story of the piece or how it came to you (in a short paragraph). These descriptions will be posted with the pieces. Plan to deliver your piece to the church by May 28, and to pick it up by July 2. Please complete the form ASAP. The team will confirm your submission in writing. You can submit your one-paragraph description and meaning of the art when you bring the piece. By submitting this form online, you acknowledge that you are showing this piece of art at your own risk, and releasing West Linn Lutheran Church and the Creative Spirit Art Gallery and Art Team from liability of damage or loss while on display. |

Calligraphic Art by Peter Schmidt and Heidi Stolp
Peter Schmidt
Peter's calligraphic work has been shown in several regional and local shows and has been published nationally by Oregon Catholic Press in Today’s Liturgy. His most recent shows have been for the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon, and Springwater Studio in Gresham.
Besides calligraphy, Peter has done many wood carvings, and larger carvings have been purchased by Resurrection, Christ the King and St. Timothy Lutheran Churches, and Mission of the Atonement Lutheran/Catholic Community in Beaverton.
Peter has a master’s degree in divinity and a master of arts degree in history from the University of California. He taught history and religion at Concordia College, Austin, Texas and served there as Dean of Men. His career spanned several years in the public sector as Training Manager with the State of Oregon, and also included many years with NIKE as an Asian production liaison in Korea and the Far East, and a human resources manager. Peter's other interests include bicycling, gardening, and learning bluegrass music on guitar and banjo.

Peter's Mixed Media Artwork "Proverbs 3:5-6"
Heidi Stolp
Heidi Stolp is a mixed media calligrapher living in Eugene, Oregon. Her work incorporates various types of mixed media in layers (acrylics, watercolor, graphite, colored pencil and various inks, etc.) with calligraphy, using quotes and poems she finds meaningful.
Heidi has been a member and officer of the Valley Calligraphy Guild for over 25 years. She's participated in numerous workshops in the US and Canada and also taught calligraphy, bookmaking and mixed media art techniques. In recent years, she had the opportunity to teach art in public schools and summer camps. Her art has been shown in numerous galleries and businesses in her community. She has also created liturgical arts in churches throughout Oregon. She's a member of The Art Forum in Eugene, Emerald Art Center and Maude Kerns Art Center.
"I believe at its core art is about communication. Letters fascinate me as elements of art and as the powerful building blocks of meaningful inscriptions."
