Kerry Anne Craft is our Muncie Artists Guild's Artist of the Month for February 2024.

Kerry's Artist Statement/Bio:
I realized from a very early age that I loved to draw. I believe one of the ways I have managed through the years is finding and focusing on the beautiful things around me. Hopefully by using the gifts and abilities I’ve been given, I’ve captured some of that beauty for you. What artist doesn’t want to touch the heart of others with their work? That’s my true reward. I’ve been having a lot of fun capturing different historic monuments and locations here in my hometown, Muncie. One of the responsibilities we all have is to do what we love. It’s how we bless others, and I truly enjoy my work. Hopefully you enjoy it as well. It’s a little taste of where we’re from.

Stephen M. Millben II is our Muncie Artists Guild's Artist of the Month for March 2024. 

Stephen’s Artist Statement/Bio: 
I have always wanted to be an artist, so I have done many different styles of art. From my days at Ball State working with oils and ceramics, to my days as a freelance graphic designer. My artwork is a culmination of years of experimenting. The majority of my work is done in  what I call a “stained glass” look. Very reminiscent of the stained glass my father used to create. I also do Urban Mandalas which is my take on the traditional mandalas. Mine use random images and doodles to create very complex images. 

His work will be shown at the following locations: Northwest Bank (E Charles), Old National Bank (S Madison), Rosebud Coffee House, Vera Mae's Bistro, and Parlour Salon.

Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. 
224 E. Main
Gordy Fine Art and Framing is proud to highlight the art of graphic artist John Morris who has lived in Muncie since 2014. The party will be on First Thursday, April 4, from 5 – 8 pm. The artist will be on hand.  Light refreshments will be served, and the public is invited to attend.

For this exhibition, Morris has made layered collages with physical clippings from comic books which he then translates into digital pixelated images in a computer program allowing them to be interpreted as a pattern for his larger-scale compositions made of Perler Beads. 

Perler Beads originated as a therapeutic hobby for the elderly and is a medium far removed from the immediacy of digital design. His use of round beads introduces a contrast with the square pixels typical of digital images. The labor-intensive nature of working with the beads, which requires assembling thousands of beads by hand and fusing them together with heat, serves as a method for Morris to "reclaim labor."

At 6:15, John will speak about his work and his process. 

The exhibit will remain on view through April 27.

For my story I focus on queerness, connections, sense of self from my own life and patterns, textures, and images from nature infiltrate my art. It compels the viewer to confront preconceived notions, reject binary thinking, and hold two ideas at once. My stories, my art, generate a dialog with you. What stories would you tell?

Nick Martin is the Muncie Artists Guild's “Artist of the Month” for April 2024. 

Nick’s Artist Statement/Bio: 
I'm a local artist who loves to paint, draw, and experiment with art materials.  I mostly do genre paintings: portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and abstracts.  I like to work on a small scale so I can put in lots of details and move on to a fresh idea within a sitting or two.  I earned my MFA from SIUE in Drawing and Studio Art, studied at Purdue, Alma College, and NMU.  I started an Art group called Yorktown Art Lover's League in 2023, we meet every third Wednesday of the month at Smith Street Studios from 5-8pm.  I teach art classes at the Cornerstone Center for the Arts and the YOC, do private art lessons, and teach tennis at the YMCA.  I love teaching, probably because I've had some really exceptional teachers and am very curious.  I try to make my classrooms and events as fun and educational as possible.  It's great to see people with little art experience become surprised and enthusiastic about making more art, and it's always good to spend time with playful and creative people.  My favorite part about art is sharing what I love and building our art community.  People that make things have to put themselves out there a little, you have to be brave and genuine to do that. 

His work will be shown at the following locations: Northwest Bank (E Charles), Old National Bank (S Madison), Rosebud Coffee House, Vera Mae's Bistro, and Parlour Salon.
