Linda Little began sculpting as a result of a brain trauma received during an automobile accident. With her short-term memory and cognitive skills impaired, she was forced to begin life anew as daily tasks and events posed new challenges. To help her rise to these challenges, Little developed in interest in sculpture, which she first makes in poly-based clay and later reproduces in bronze. Her subject matter ranges from portraits of mothers and infants, angels, women of the prairie, cowboys, dogs, and the most recently commissioned, limited-edition North Dakota pheasant entitled “Opening Day,” one of which she plans to eventually donate to the state.

Kandace Moyer Klemetsrud (Devils Lake) As an experienced visual artist who uses her memories of society and wildlife as her primary inspiration, Kandace Klemestrud generally produces two types of art. Her watercolors of contemporary Northwest wildlife have been exhibited in galleries in cities all over the United States including Tacoma and Seattle, Washington; Park City, Utah; Buffalo, New York; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Fargo. And through her minimalist caricatures of government officials, she tries to capture the essence of such political figures as President George W. Bush, Senator Byron Dorgan, and Governor John Hoeven using only a few lines of ink. She is the sole owner and operator of Moyer Studio, which is currently listed in the Guide to North Dakota's Legendary Places. As a dedicated and involved member of the Devils Lake community, Kandace has started and otherwise been involved in a number of programs that have benefit ed both young and senior citizens.

As an artist, Whitney has been a strong advocate of the bold use of color and inclusion of elements of other cultures. Her paintings often feature the “shawomen” of her imagination: figures composed using strong, expressive colors and traces of African, Chinese, Mexican, and other cultures. These monotype prints are created on Plexiglas that has been rubbed down with sandpaper. The image is applied using a special caran d’ache crayon. Printmaking paper is then soaked, placed on top of the Plexiglas drawing, and run through an etching press that resembles a wringer washing machine. Linda Whitney’s work can be booked for exhibit through the North Dakota Art Gallery Association. Visit their website at www.ndaga.org or call 701-858-3836 for more information.

Gregory A. Vettel (Grand Forks) If one were to wonder what forces make the gears in Greg Vettel’s creative mind turn, all one would have to do is look at his resume. A lifelong motorcycle and classic car enthusiast, Greg has studied automotive maintenance at the Wyoming Technical Institute, has an electronics degree from the Bell and Howell/DeVry Institute of Technology, and has earned a PHD certificate from a Master Technician training course with the Harley-Davidson Motor Corporation. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in graphic design from Minot State University, where he was also president of the art club and director of the art gallery. Currently, he is employed with the North Dakota Museum of Art, where he serves as Exhibitions Coordinator and Registrar. With his sculptures, Greg tries to “explore the inner workings of mechanized, mobile machines in the medium of welded steel machine parts.” He constructs abstract moveable mechanisms for viewers to explore with touch, sight, and hearing in his hands-on interactive displays. “My work is influenced by my love of motorcycles, mechanisms, and my experience as an internal combustion technician,” he says. “My theme is transportation - machines, specifically motorcycle parts from only American-made motorcycles still in production. I prefer mechanical subjects - sharp, angular, geometric forms and shapes with high contrast features and textures.” He likes his sculptures to resemble imaginary machines which, if put to use, would fulfill some imaginary purpose. He gives them names such as “Space Beagle,” Galactica,” and “Challenger,” taken from real science (NASA) and science fiction spaceships of popular culture. Recently, Greg has taken to creating 2-dimensional art work, made by scanning motorcycle parts into his computer and manipulating them with photo-editing software. Since he was first featured in this newsletter’s January, February, March 2001 issue, Greg has been involved in a number of new projects including the annual Ride-in-for-the-Arts motorcycle run at the Pekin Art Show as well as the design and construction of the trunks for the Council on the Arts ARTS Trunk Program. He has participated in forty exhibitions in three states and his artwork is in twenty private collections around the country, including the Harley-Davidson corporate offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

His work has been supported by grants from North Dakota State University, the Kellogg Foundation, Teagle/Bell South, and Partners of the Americas. He is a member of the North Dakota Art Gallery Association, College Art Association, Center for Cuban Studies, Plains Art Museum, (in Fargo) Chicago Art Institute and the National Guild of Hypnotists. He has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Buena Vista College, a Master of Arts degree from the University of Northern Iowa, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Kimble is also an advocate of hypnosis as a means of eliminating
obstacles to creativity - such as preconceived ideas, limitations, and
inhibitions. As a certified hypnotherapist, he has taught his philosophy
(through his Creativity Enhancement Workshops) throughout the Midwest to
hundreds of artists and art students at colleges, universities, and
galleries. He is currently involved in research with the Department of
Psychology at North Dakota State University to further explore the
benefit of hypnosis on the creative process.
Jon Offutt (Fargo) When not touring the country in his Mobile Glassblowing Studio, Jon Offut is busy as the owner and operator of the House of Mulciber Glass Studio. Previously, Jon was an instructor and studio coordinator with the glass program at Minnesota State University in Moorhead, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art with a concentration on glass and ceramics. His experience was bolstered by a residency at Smoky Hills Artisan Community in Osage, Minnesota; as a studio assistant to Flo Perkins at the Penland School of Crafts in Penland, North Carolina; and through earning a Master of Fine Arts degree in the glass program with the College of Art and Design at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where he was also a shop steward and studio instructor. Jon and his Mobile Glassblowing Studio, which is part of an outreach program of North Dakota State University and funded, in part, by a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, travels around the state and country giving demonstrations on the art of glassblowing and providing a valuable resource to communities that would otherwise not have access to it. Recently at Bismarck State College and the Fine Arts Center in Jamestown, Jon, with the aid of three North Dakota State University art students - Jeremy Jorgenson, Nathan Mastrud, and Jennifer Erickson - will be taking his touring studio to communities in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and South Dakota. More information about Jon, his outreach, and the House of Mulciber Glass Studio can be found online at www.mulciberglass.com.
Bonnie Tressler (Jamestown) Artist Bonnie Tressler has always been interested in art and, as a child, was fascinated with weaving all sorts of things - grass, clover, twigs - into primitive mats and baskets. She has studied textiles and clothing (including weaving and basket-making classes) at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota as well as traditional lace-making in Brugge, Belgium. In 2000, Bonnie served as an apprentice to master basketmaker LeRoy Graber (of Freeman, South Dakota) through the Council on the Arts’ Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. Historical significance is one reason Bonnie is drawn to baskets and basket-making. Baskets long used by her German ancestors on their farms are part of her childhood memories and were always in the back of her mind. It is her strong desire that the art of basket-making not be lost to the generations, so she shares her art with her family. Currently, Bonnie works with the Fine Arts Center in Jamestown, where, among many other duties, she schedules (and sometimes teaches) art classes for children and adults.
Dawn Wright (Valley City) A respected wildlife artist and third-generation artist from Valley City, Dawn Wright has been selling original drawings, limited edition prints and notecards for more than 30 years. She is the owner and sole artist for Dawn’s, a catalog business for her prints and notecards, which just recently went online. Dawn takes a great amount of pride in the detail and authenticity of her work, for which she largely credits to her studies in biology and ornithology. (She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry from Valley City State University.) Her artwork - original drawings in pen and ink or in scratchboard (as well as black and white lithographs) of animals and birds - have graced the covers of several regional magazines, namely North Dakota Outdoors, North Dakota Horizons, the South Dakota Digest, the Iowa Conservationalist and the P.E.O. International Record. Her print “Sharptail Grouse” was used as a cover illustration for Jim Haverstock’s book Sharptail Hunting As I Have Known It, and her print “The Pheasant” is used on the letterhead of former South Dakota governor William Janklow. Her work has been repeatedly commissioned by research biologists employed with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and has been featured in the North Dakota Trivia Game under the “arts and entertainment” category. Following in her mother Lillian Emery’s footsteps, Dawn has recently pursued creating oil-pastel portraits. Dawn credits her mother, along with her father Neal, for instilling a love of art, learning and nature. More information on Dawn and her art can be found on her website www.artworkbydawn.com.
Bill Baron (Mandan) Bill Baron first started working with the arts while in high school, where, under the influence of California caricature artist Big Daddy Ross, he painted and airbrushed tee-shirts. After taking art classes at Bismarck State College, he went on to earn Bachelor degree in Art from the University of North Dakota. He currently teaches art at Century High School in Bismarck. Always one to look for new experiences, Bill tried his hand at pottery in the mid-1970s and soon found himself to be in high demand. In 1980, Bill made approximately 50 porcelain bowls to be given by then-Governor Arthur Link to a visiting Japanese delegation. Bill’s work can be seen at the Summer Arts and Crafts Shows in Edina and Excelsior, Minnesota.
Michelle Lindblom (Bismarck) Michelle Lindblom’s interest in art began in the fourth grade when, due to an art assignment, she learned that she could draw. Although engaged in art classes during junior high and high school, Michelle’s development of her talents as a form of self-expression was a slow one, as she found the work to offer a challenging reward. An original reluctance to pursue painting as a profession changed during her enrollment at the University of New Orleans, Louisiana where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Art. From there, she became responsible for establishing and implementing an art curriculum for St. Francis Xavier school in Wilmette, Illinois and St. Athanasius school in neighboring Evanston. She earned a Master of Science degree in Education from the University of North Dakota in 1992; and in 2000, from the same institution, she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree. In 1991, after returning to her native Bismarck, Michelle became a professor in the Visual Art department at Bismarck State College, where she also serves as Gallery Director. Michelle’s work has appeared in solo exhibitions in North and South Dakota, Indiana and Arizona as well as in a wide assortment of invitational and juried exhibitions in Norway, England and throughout the United States. Her work has won awards from national organizations including the Pen and Brush Club in New York City and Long Beach Arts in Long Beach, California. She continues to enter in regional competitions as well, earning, among others, second and third place awards at the Fargo-Moorhead Regional Art Exhibition and several awards from the Bismarck Art and Galleries Association. In addition to the current display in the offices of the Governor and First Lady, Michelle’s work can be seen as part of a juried exhibition at the Bismarck Art and Galleries Association through the end of January. This spring, her work will also be on display at the Northwest Art Center on the campus of Minot State University. More information on Michelle and her work can be found on her website: www.mick-art.com.
Jerrel Holm (Watford City) Jerrel Holm became interested in sculpture while attending Minot State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education.

Currently, Jerrel works full time as sculptor of porcelain, clay and stoneware. Jerrel says he prefers to work in sculpture as it combines both the mental and physical aspects of art.
David Njos (Williston) David Njos first started etching designs into wood as a sign-maker, later evolving his skills into making pictures, which he sells on commission. Although he continues to work with wood, David has recently moved into wrought-iron sculptures, building gates, alter rails for churches, and the Centennial Monument in Williston. Currently, he is working on a war memorial at the Riverview Cemetery in Williston and has recently completed a sculpture of Sakakawea to be sold by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. David has studied at the Colorado Institute of Art and makes his living as an artist and a landscaper.
Nancy Walter-Brown (Stanley) Nancy Walter-Brown developed her interest in art at a young age. Upon
graduation from her Stanley, North Dakota high school - and a childhood
of art classes - Nancy attended the Phoenix Institute of Technology, a
design school in Arizona. She has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Graphic Design from Minot State University and, currently, is Executive
Director of the Taube Museum of Art in Minot.
Kaye Burian (Manning) As a long-time rancher and part-owner of the Lazy 77 ranch, North Dakota painter Kaye Burian has all of the inspiration she needs right outside of her studio window. She has an appreciation of her natural surroundings - and the buffalo, cattle and horses who inhabit them - and feels that one can only paint what one appreciates. Kaye is an accomplished artist with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art and Elementary Education from Dickinson State University. She taught art in the local schools for six years before turning to painting full-time. Since then, she has been the recipient of several awards including the People’s Choice Award at the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Medora and the First Place Award from the North Dakota Wildlife Federal Competition. Her art has been sold across the United States and in foreign countries as far away as Sweden. Kaye has served on the Finance Committee and the President’s Advisory Council at Dickinson State University. She has personally competed in rodeo events and is adept at horsemanship as well as showmanship of cattle and horses. Currently Kaye is serving as a trustee on the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Walter Piehl, Jr. (Minot) Walter Piehl, Jr., was turned onto rodeos at a very young age by his father, who was a horse-trader as well as a part-time rodeo producer and pick-up man. Walter, who is from Marion, would himself serve as a rodeo announcer for more than thirty years. His love of the rodeo combined with another childhood interest, drawing, to give him the inspiration behind his paintings, which deal largely with rodeo themes. His sweetheart of the rodeo series is dedicated to the bucking horse and addresses the action and energy of the horse and rider in conflict. His roping fool series, from the Will Rogers film of the same name, is an homage to the great artists of the lariat. That is, cowboys and cowgirls who use rope tricks to convey a sense of movement, not as a tool of the trade. Walter is currently a Professor of Art at Minot State University. He majored in Art and Art Education at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. He went on to earn an MA and an MFA in Painting from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks as well as a degree in Printmaking from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. He has been the subject of a number of articles in both rodeo and art publications, as well as the documentary “North Dakota Artist: Walter Piehl” on Prairie Public Television. For more information on Walter Piehl, Jr., including samples of his work, log onto the North Dakota Art Gallery Association’s website.
