   artist simply Interviews Ryker Murdock

   Hi! I'm an artist in the Pacific Northwest. I do a lot of different kinds of art in different mediums but I focus heavily on Acrylics. I take my inspiration from lots of different places, but I love to use photography from friends, and local photographers for inspiration! I'm currently delving into Fantasy Artwork. It should be an amazing ride! Currently commissions are closed as I am currently working on a huge project. I do however have art for sale. If you're interested in a piece, or custom work, please shoot me a message. When i'm not creating new art, i'm helping other local artists get their art out there as a Curator for Wiley's Downtown Bistro, as well as networking in the art community! I'm always open to new projects and new challenges! Send me a message, let's talk about your ideas! artbyryker@gmail.com Facebook @artbyryker Instagram @artbyryker Twitter @byryker

   artist simply Interviews Larry Bergman

   Larry has dabbled in various art forms over a number of years but prefers drawing in pencil and finishing in ink. At first glance his work appears to be computer generated but are all drawn by hand, one pen stroke at a time. This becomes evident when taking a closer look at each piece. Over the years Larry has won several awards for his works and was featured in the September-October issue of Art Chowder Magazine in 2018. When drawing he tries to cover every square inch with a combination of black and white geometric shapes and designs, which may or may not relate to the central theme of the drawing. Those designs serve to add dimension and depth to the drawing and to draw your attention to the main subject. In some cases they are put there simply because he like the design. Strategically placed within each drawing is a predominant line that zigzags from its origin, usually at an outside boarder, and ending with his signature logo. You will also find one or more stars in each drawing as a reminder of this great country we live in. Larry does not take his freedom for granted but gives honor to those who fought so hard for that freedom. Also displayed is a checkerboard pattern which represents the good and evil we are faced with in this life on a daily basis. It’s a reminder that God has a plan for each of us who believe in Him. to someday rescue us from this world of destruction to be with Him, forever.The themes in each of the drawings are random and complex. One has to look closely to find hidden images and designs within the drawing. For those who like details, Larry uses Micron or LePen pens on Strathmore 400 series Bristol paper to create his originals. When finished he has the originals scanned to Archival – Sunset Airdried Matte 285 G/M2 paper with Archival-Aqueous UV safe ink.

   artist simply Interviews Artist Stan Miller

   Hosted by Spokane Art Supply's Craig Marshall  -  www.spokaneartsupply.com Co-hosted by Morgan Robinson "Artsy Dweeb"  -  https://artsydweeb.podbean.com/ About Stan Miller I was born on a small farm in Southeastern South Dakota in 1949. We lived about 50 miles from Sioux Falls. I was one of seven children, three brothers and three sisters. When I was seven, we moved to Sioux Falls where my dad got a job as a mechanic for Caterpillar. When I was fifteen our family moved to Spokane, Washington, where I finished my high school education and graduated in 1967. I went on to college and graduated from Spokane Falls Community College in 1973, with an Applied Arts Degree and a Commercial Art Degree. Other than two years in Pennsylvania, I have continued to live in Spokane since my graduation from college.
 I remember, when I must have been quite young, watching my older brother Greg draw. He was good. In the third grade our teacher taught us perspective, how to make a road go back and disappear into the mountains. I never forgot how to do that. When I was seven or eight years old, our family took a trip to Wisconsin to visit a friend of my Dad’s. He was a professional watercolorist. I remember the drive through the woods, walking up to his front door, through the entry, looking up at the walls as soon as I entered the house. I wanted to see his paintings. Randy Penner. I’ll never forget that name or that trip and the influence it had on me. In Junior High I took some art, mechanical drawing, and enjoyed it. I wrote a career paper on becoming an artist but never really thought that it was possible. In college I decided to major in physical education since I considered an art major unrealistic. The second year I switched to a commercial art major since the community college had a good graphics program. It was during the three years of training to become a commercial artist that I took watercolor. My first watercolor class I got a “C”. The worst grade I had ever received in any art class. I was required to take it again the following year and it went much better. Not only did I get an “A”, but I fell in love with it. I started selling my paintings before I graduated for as little as $2. In the fall of 1973 I had made a decision to try to make a living as a full time, professional watercolorist and have managed to do that now for more than forty years. Along with painting, I started teaching watercolor in 1976, with little teaching experience. Improving my teaching skills, I now enjoy teaching nearly as much as painting, teaching weekly classes here in Spokane and workshops around the world. However, most of my time is spent in my studio painting, hoping never to retire. Learn more about Stan's classes and artwork - https://stanmiller.net/

   artist simply Interviews Megan Perkins

   egan Perkins is an artist, teacher, and native of the Pacific Northwest.

She lives in Deer Park, WA and works primarily in watercolor with a love of color and expressive line. She has exhibited in many venues in the Spokane region including the Chase Gallery, Terrain, Jundt Art Museum and more. She is on the board of Art Salvage, a local creative reuse shop, a member at Pottery Place Plus, and teaches at the Spokane Art School and Corbin Art Center. She is most well known for her Artist’s Eye on Spokane series, which was started during a year-long project of painting at a new location in Spokane every week for 52 weeks. This project culminated in a locally produced book by the same name. Her paintings of the Spokane area are featured in a monthly column in the Spokane Coeur D’Alene Living magazine. See Megan's art work at artist simply website.Megan Perkins’s Artist StatementI am a recorder by nature. Keeping sketchbooks and drawing my daily life has been a habit for years. Drawing, rather than simply snapping a photograph, is a way for me to inhabit my life rather than letting it get away from me. It leaves a physical record that helps me pay attention to what I’m doing in and with my life and takes time, leaving me open to experiences and to connecting to strangers when I draw or paint on location both at home and when traveling. To me, drawing and painting is a road to experiencing and truly seeing a place, object or person. Drawing is a way to absorb the beauty of the world around me, but also, a way to understand my surroundings, how an object is put together, why a building or configuration of light and shadow caught my eye. Art is a path into deeper understanding and communion with both places and people. I make colorful watercolor paintings and drawings as a way of holding up the quotidian of life as worthy of attention and worth sharing with others. It reminds people to slow down and realize the richness of their own lives, available if they simply pay attention. Being in this sort of practice puts me in the mindset of gratitude and because of this practice of paying attention to the world, of looking for beauty in the ordinary, I’m attuned for it and that is how I want to live my life.

   artist simply Interviews Carol Reynolds

   Caroline is a watercolor artist who has always tried to express her love of nature through her art. Growing up in rural Eastern Washington in a creative family, she had the opportunity at an early age to use her mother’s oil paints and brushes. This set in motion a love of trying to interpret the unique natural beauty of The Pacific Northwest. In 2014, after retiring from her full-time business job, she set out to spend more time painting. Watercolor being her favorite medium, Caroline began drawing and painting scenes from in and around Spokane to bring attention to the natural beauty of the Spokane River, birds foraging for berries at Manito, beloved buildings with their old graceful trees and other scenes readily found in and around our beautiful city. She also has an abiding love of the lake where she spends much of the spring through fall, Deep Lake. The lake is quiet and peaceful and home to many creatures. Through her paintings, Caroline tries to share these calming scenes with others. See Carol's art work on artist simply website.
