Tracy Potter
I'm on my fourth life!!
My first life started on a farm in rural Michigan. I was a happy child who loved animals and art. I went to Western Michigan University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in art and elementary education.
My second life began in 1980 when I moved to South Dakota and started a career in teaching. I taught children for 17 years and added a Master's Degree to my credentials.
My three daughters are my third life. I retired from teaching to make them (and my extremely supportive husband) my top priority. But now that my daughters are beautiful young adults, I can start my fourth life as a fiber artist.
I started quilting with traditional patterns, but my interest in color and design led me to more modern pieces. And when my focus turned to emotion and memory, my quilts became art.
Now, in this fourth life, I'm teaching Art!
Johnathan Martinez
Johnathan Martinez delivers artwork with the express goal of enticing the audience to form an emotional connection to his work while reinforcing the ideals of family, love, friendship and the joy of living life. He is dedicated to promoting these values and strengthening his community by providing support to local community programs via donations of sales proceeds.
Considering his paintings a celebration of color, Johnathan focuses his themes around family and love. His representational works possess a primitive quality yet are quite contemporary. His pieces are painted without faces in order to allow the audience to project themselves into the painting and reminisce of a tender moment with one or more of their loved ones.
