Which artist outside of your chosen medium has had the most impact on your art? What do they do and in what way do they influence you? While not a particular artist, I’d say that learning about classical musicians and how to appreciate their art has had an impact on how I perceive, understand, and create art. While in college I took a music appreciation course that exposed me to classical music for the first time. And even to this day, it has stayed with me that there are stories in music…even with no lyrics, I can hear the stories. I learned that art is often more than what “meets the eye” or comes through the senses; it is what you perceive and make of it yourself (whether as a viewer, reader, or listener). So when I paint a land-/seascape, I am painting the scene as I experienced it in real life, and hope that viewers will get a glimpse into a moment in time I thought was beautiful.  Paula Imbergamo   Assemblage artist Paula Imbergamo has been involved with SCAA in many ways since 2014. She has been a teacher, board member, student, and exhibiting artist, including participating in a Members Invitational Exhibit in 2016. Her enthusiasm about assemblage and her love of art is inspiring to all she meets.
Colleen Colabella   Colleen first joined the SCAA in 2009 and started taking pottery classes in our studio. She has taken many classes here over the years, and began exhibiting 6 years ago. The two watercolor paintings shown in this newsletter are both award-winning works of art.

Is there a work of art that has changed your life or how you view the world in some way? Experiencing works of art being created by the Tlingit tribal group in Ketchikan, Alaska was an amazing experience. Watching historical creation methods of Native American Totems in their natural environments made me feel that time had stood still. I witnessed a wonderful sense of community, pride for artmaking, and respect for culture through generations. Extremely enlightening.

Which artist outside of your chosen medium has had the most impact on your art? What do they do and in what way do they influence you? I’d have to say Joni Mitchell and James Taylor (living artists). Joni by her lyrics and wonder, who paints and creates music. James also is very influential on making his mark and showing the way.

Why did the art thief’s van run out of gas as he drove away from the museum? Because he had no MONET to buy DEGAS to make the VAN GOGH. Jack Heller  White House Jack Heller is a relatively new member to the SCAA, and one who we are happy to have exhibiting work. Active in several art institutions in the area, Jack has been showing his photographs here for a couple of years now.
 Goat Island Fog What inspires you to create? I am inspired by the world around me. I have found that since I began creating artistic photographs, I see the world in a different light. I now notice the aspects of the world that create a favorable ambiance and moodiness.

Which artist outside of your chosen medium has had the most impact on your art? What do they do and in what way do they influence you? The artist outside of my chosen medium that has had the most impact on my art is sculptor Isamu Noguchi. He created bold, simple organic sculptures inspired by nature. He believed that nature was of fundamental importance to the human condition. I have always loved his work. I used to visit the Noguchi Sculpture Garden in Houston. It was a beautiful place of serenity and peace. I hope I can have that serenity and peace and connection with nature in my life and in my art.
