Artist of the Month Tonya Crow

---

 Portraying what I see in nature is my favorite subject.  I like to use different mediums and styles, though I usually cycle back to watercolor, oil, acrylic and charcoal. I teach art at a local homeschool co-op and love to spend my free time hiking and horseback riding on the Buffalo.

Married to Vickie for over 40 years. The father of seven and grandfather of ten or eleven. I enjoy riding and drawing horses, among other things. 

I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Moody Bible Institute, the University of Tennessee, and North Arkansas College...and still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.!  I enjoy, pencils, pens and paint.

 My art reflects the love I have for the beautiful place I call home - the Ozarks. I have been painting or drawing since I was able to hold a crayon or pencil. 

Art has been a place of solace where I can dream, create and leave my stress behind.

I have been painting the Buffalo River for the past 9 years. I love painting landscapes, wildlife and, of course, the Buffalo River. I also enjoy multi-media abstractions. Experimental art is my passion which I hope will add interest to my landscape paintings in the future. My art is based in nature and is created to let you see its beauty and instill a wish to preserve nature for our future generations.

 I draw my characters, but they have evolved and changed with age. There are things happening in the world that motivate me to continue to try and communicate with others through my art. I travel to anime conventions and art shows to sell my works and take on commissions. But still, I take the time to create for myself. I haven’t fully communicated what I am feeling and I still have so much left to learn and say.

 I am a lifelong learner and love to take workshops to learn new techniques. Recent workshops have me working with watercolor in a looser style. My current media of choice are acrylic and watercolor with lots of color. I also work with oils and graphite.  Painting makes me work quickly because it dries fast. Working quickly makes my art have more loose brushstrokes. My artwork is evolving to a more spontaneous style. Adding to the spontaneity I sometimes add unexpected strokes of color throughout the painting. 

You can contact me through email for any information concerning the upcoming exhibit or about my artwork.

  Ann Graffy has been making art since she was old enough to hold a pencil. After a decade of teaching art to high schoolers, Ann left the world of education to build a career of her own. A career she has had for the last forty years. 

Her work can be seen at Bryan’s Gallery in Taos, NM (www.bryansgallery.com), and is currently the only place to view and purchase her work, unless you are lucky enough to strike a deal with the artist herself at anngraffy@gmail.com.  

 Madison works with local pigments to make her paints far off the beaten path in Kingston, AR. Her subjects are drawn from nature, and while her palette is limited, the earthy colors lend an old-world look to her entire portfolio. She partners with the very soul of the earth: ocher rich stones, soot, and charred bone. 

 Wild Ozark Studio: 102 Main St., Alpena, AR (Friday-Sat 10-4, March-Dec, by appointment during winter break or off hours). Contact madison@wildozark.com for appointments.  Website: WildOzark.com

 My art studio and gallery, River Gallery Co., is in the Commerce Mall on the square in Harrison. I have been painting nearly a year. The gallery also has 12 other local artists who have works inside! I love painting wet on wet oils, but also enjoy acrylics.  River Gallery Co on FB

I am an 18-year-old college student studying for an art degree. I wrote, illustrated, and published my first book, "M.I.A.", at age 16 and my second book, "M.I.A. and the Book of Damien", at age 17. I create in many different mediums and many kinds of subject matter, but stylized art captures my heart.
