<br />
Here are their statements--<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">Shawn Maschino is an artist that has lived in Gainesville for nearly 20 years. His current body of work is part of an ongoing collaboration with his father, a seascape artist, that passed away two years ago. Faced with several hundred, "unfinished", paintings Shawn took it upon himself to complete the works. For the last few years he has incorporated portraits into his fathers paintings of the ocean, land and sky in a way that highlights both of their strengths. Bold aerosol stencil work is combined with organic acrylic work to create an interesting juxtaposition of styles. Shawn and his father had not spoken to one another for almost 20 years. A month before he died his father contacted Shawn to "unload" his art supplies and unfinished canvases. He was able to see the first series. With this body of work Shawn hopes to remind himself and others to talk to their loved ones, one way or another. Shawn currently works downtown doing maintenance, design and construction for the owners of The TOP, The Wooly, The Pop-a-Top, The Dime, The Atlantic, and The Arcade bar. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="http://shawnmaschino.tumblr.com/" style="font-size: 12.8px;" target="_blank">http://shawnmaschino.tumblr.com/</a></span><br />

<div class="gmail_default" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica;">
I'm Satchel Raye and I've been painting 30 years. In the past few years I've been working more collage elements into my paintings. I have settled on a tradition of painting symmetrical works one year and asymmetrical the next. Pulling from an outsider/ folk art inspiration, I paint with acrylic house paint on wood and make my own frames. Painting is where I go to seek and find solitude and inner peace. </div>

Jordan Borstelmann & Danny Lore.<br />
They also both happen to be long time employees at Satchel's.<br />
<br />
Their statements:<br />
<br />
Danny--<br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Danny has been collecting knives for as long as he can remember. He has travelled the world with his band , Against All Authority, picking up knives along the way to add to his collection. "I would buy a knife and just study it. I'd look at the lines, the grind marks and the handles. I'd just stare at it and wonder how did they make this thing!?". One day a friend casually mentioned that he had been doing some blacksmithing for a few years. Danny asked him if he'd ever made a knife. His friend replied "No, but if you come over this weekend we can make one together." He's never looked back. Constantly working to refine his craft he's always looking for new handle materials and using different steel. He's traveled to learn new techniques under knife makers that are considered to be masters in their field. Every knife that Danny makes is hand sculpted from the beginning to the end using a combination of of old school craftsmanship, artistry and modern technology.<br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I have been a blacksmith for 5 years, slowly gathering the tools and skills I need to practice my Art. For the past two years I have been studying knife and tool making, which I consider to be the heart of the blacksmith's trade. Each piece is as individual as a snowflake, forged with hammer and anvil into a beautiful and above all useful form. I have also recently been teaching bladesmithing classes out of Leslie Tharp's studio and at the Florida Artists Blacksmiths Association's annual conference. </div>

Here is what they have to say--<br />
<br />
Christine-<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;"><br />Having relocated from Virginia this summer with my family, I'm a new girl in a new town. Color. Joy. Whimsy - my hope is that my paintings make you smile, move you in some way or inspire you look at things differently - if even just a little. When I find the time to paint, in between life happening, I am always reminded at how amazing it is to be able to create something out of nothing and that we are only limited by our own imagination. Sometimes I am inspired by others' work and sometimes the subject comes as an image or feeling - mostly because it has some degree of silliness to it or bright, bold color. Thank you, Satchel's, for the opportunity to share in your inspired creation - Peace. Christine</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">My name is Kai Simmons, from here in Gainesville, Florida. I'm an amateur photographer who hopes to make a career out of it. Hope you like what you see!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Several years ago I began entertaining myself with computer generated images. This is all brand new and a wonderful way to explore my creative that was new to me. As with all my art adventures, music strongly influences my work and as the music played , the images began to take on meanings and emotions. This has been a wonderful adventure and I hope that as you view the images the music within you begins to play. </span>Judy---http://www.blogger.com/profile/06490191064487204390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543867923429010800.post-91549401432013447242015-07-11T10:17:00.002-07:002015-07-11T10:17:24.766-07:00What's Up ??The artists currently showing work in the restaurant are<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Artist Statement:</b></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Drawing on shamanic, sacred, and intuitive art influences, Sarah Whitmire paints her remarkable inner journey of awakening and conscious connection. “It’s much like a meditation when I’m painting; I never know what I’m going to paint when I begin. I often start with my hands and acrylic paint, making marks that have meaning for me and allowing for sacred connection and journey.” Her creatures and compositions often morph and change in the process. This unique approach is exciting for the viewers who assemble to watch her paint live at various events and nightclubs in her local city of Gainesville, FL. “When I paint it’s an almost ecstatic birthing, a rhythmic heartfelt dance with the divine, and I think people are drawn to that energy.” </span></div>
<div style="font: 11.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“Firstly I paint for myself, for connection, for a visual reminder of that connection. Secondly I paint for those who want to be reminded of their own connection, their own magnificence and magic, and I hope they can see themselves in the work. “ </span></div>
<div style="font: 11.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Painted on reclaimed doors, Sarah’s most recent body of work, titled ”The Path”, explores a secret place where the doors to self and the highest imaginings are waiting to be opened. Here we find unconventional heroines, demons, ancient guides, and glimpses of portals to other worlds and perhaps also into our inner selves. </span></div>

<div style="font: 11.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Sarah Whitmire is an award-winning, internationally-published mixed-media artist who lives and works in Alachua, FL. She is an active member of the Gainesviile Fine Art association and can be reached at <b>sarah@whitmireart.com</b> . To see more of her work visit: <b>www.whitmireart.com</b></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“Why do I make art? I believe it is my sacred heart calling, my souls surrendering…I believe I came here to be a creator of worlds.”</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Darlene Muto, of Muto Art, was born in Tucson, Arizona on December 16, 1979. With a family comprised of artists and musicians, her creativity was nurtured allowing her to be the person she is today. From a young age, drawing and painting were an instinct that evolved into the career she cultivates. Her artistic studies have included several different colleges such as Pensacola State College, Cape Cod Community College, Massachusetts College of Art, and Florida State College of Jacksonville. </span></span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">How I connect with color. To me it is an emotional connection. My tools are vibrant, high contrasting colors and brush strokes that portray my zest for life. My artwork emerged from a past tainted with sexual violence. I suffered in a dark world for several years. I was lost. Today, however things are very different, I am not lost any longer! The brightness gets brighter everyday compared to the darkness I have survived. Determined to rise above, I hold my memories near and use my vulnerability to speak to my audience through my artwork. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">I feel fortunate to be an observer of life. Puffy clouds in a big blue sky, sunrise over the ocean, bright sand glimmers as the tide pulls back… This world invites us to endless possibilities of pleasure for the eyes to see. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;">I’ve found my happy place with photography. Feast your eyes, and enjoy.</span><br />

</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Throughout my life, art has always surrounded me. From my mother's side of well know sculptors to my father's side of famous landscape painters, I have continued the tradition. Growing up in Miami, Florida my Cuba-born father, Felix Ramos kept his art close by in his home studio as well as rented space for commissioned murals.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
From art gallery exhibits, exclusive studio lessons, and a famous mural at Bacardi in Bermuda, my father has always inspired the people around him, including myself.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
For the past decade I have studied painting under numerous acclaimed artists. I enjoy painting landscapes and still-life in acrylic and oil. My favorite subjects are the beautiful Florida landscapes and fruits. </div>

She has been studying art her entire life. She comes from a long tradition of art. She was born in Vic, Spain (North of Barcelona). Her father was an artist specializing in still life, portraits and landscapes using oil canvas as his medium. Out of these cobblestone streets scattered with aspiring artists was born a passion for beauty. She began her early artistic career studying in private studios in Spain. These studies included drawing and working in her father's oil studio. After coming to the US at the age of seventeen, she continued to study in the deserts of Nevada and later in Florida. She has attended Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina and was a fellow at Crealdés in Winter Park, Florida. She currently studies with Linda Pence.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">People often ask me “So.. where do you get your ideas?”</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The answer to that question is both easy, and very difficult. Visions wind and warp in my head, to eventually find a way to my hands. And then to the paintbrush and paint to materialize on the canvas. Or from the brush and ink onto paper. I get my ideas from everything.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Music.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Other art.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">People.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Animals.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Places.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">A conversation.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Something I've read.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Even a rusty nail in a well-worn wall can be the springboard for a new idea.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I hail from the hills and valleys of central new York, and found my way to northwest Florida to pursue flight training, and an eventual job as a flight instructor at Tyndall AFB. Flight instruction is a great job - you get to set your own hours risking death each day with students practicing stalls, take-offs and landings, and emergency procedures. But there's something about art. Like a siren whispering in my ear, it always calls me back.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I'm a largely self-taught artist. My art has been shown in New York and Florida. I've taught drawing at The Visual Arts Center of Northwest Florida, and I've done illustration work for the Buffalo Zoological Gardens and the YMCA of Rochester New York. My work is privately owned by collectors in England, Germany, and Spain, and I dearly hope to someday be as well-traveled as my art.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />Kelly Duncan 2015</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Born in Oklahoma City in the early 80’s—the years of bad style and distasteful décor—Melissa knew right away that she wanted to design aesthetic and practical spaces. For Melissa, art is an illustration of life, a physical or emotional moment in time meant to be enjoyed by all. She attended the University of Central Oklahoma and received her bachelor’s degree in fine arts, majoring in Interior Design with a minor in Art. She worked for an architecture firm for many years and became NCIDQ certified in 2009. Although she had been painting since high school, it wasn’t until after the birth of her second child in 2011 that her desire to express herself with paints was re-kindled. Melissa paints with acrylic and oils while listening to all variations of music….loudly. She enjoys painting abstracts and recently found a love for portraits. Her goal as an artist is to transcend the mundane and express the emotions that capture life through paint. Whether it is a precious photo of someone special or a personalized interior wall mural, Melissa transforms it into a memorable artistic expression with her own special touch.</span></div>

For years he shared the space with the late Lennie Kesl.<br />
This year he has invited Shawn Maschino to join him.<br />
<br />
Here are the statements of<br />
Satchel Raye<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My brain gets overloaded often enough for me to need a reset. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Painting is my favorite reset for the over-stimulated world I often create for myself. When I sit at the easel my goal is to become more blank, quiet, reflective, centered, and devoted. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have gotten into the habit of painting for a year asymmetrically, and a year symmetrically. By painting I often mean collage elements also. While I consider them chiefly paintings, the collage pieces help me establish a design quickly and with texture and pattern. This year is a “symmetrical” year. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The symmetrical paintings are somehow more fun and easy for me, and they reflect the joy I feel in my life, work, and family. The asymmetrical ones are more tedious and abstract, and tend to speak of landscapes, still life’s, and invented machines. I enjoy both pursuits equally, and feel excited when I get to put my latest 11 months of work on display. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our world gets fuller and fuller of quick on-screen images for us to consume, and these paintings reflect my 46th year of life quite slowly. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I like to remember what a friend once told me… “You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.” I am deliberately trying to transform that “anything” into a tangible something that takes the form of framed paintings. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>

<br class="" />I am a thirty seven year old man. I have lived in Gainesville for seventeen years. I started showing my work almost immediately after arriving here. My first show was at Terranova Catering Company. Since then I have regularly shown at E'lan Hair Salon, Satchel's, 2nd St. Bakery, Circle Square Studios, The Bull, and The Wooly. I always struggle with this part of the process...the artist statement. Answering this question is no easier than explaining what a tattoo means. It should be fairly straight forward. It should be easy for someone to explain something that is a part of them, but herein lies the "artist struggle". I don't find it difficult to be an artist. I find it difficult to define my work. I do not buy art supplies. I inherit them. I find them on the street. They are trickled down to me in the most bizarre circumstances. They are passed when I am driving, only to be contemplated briefly while I look for a place to make a U-turn. They are taken from the "free junk" table behind this restaurant. Once they are in my environment it could be a matter of hours, or a matter of years before they are either turned into something to look at, or turned into trash. </div>

This year was a year of loss for me. I lost my father on December 6 2013. I also lost a six year battle with Bank of America on November 18 2014, a battle that started when I was working within the walls of this restaurant. We, as a community, lost Lennie Kesl, who's work has classically hung here along with Satchel Rayes'. So this show is some sort of vague anniversary and modest celebration of life after death for me. The end of an exhausting drive through mountain hills lined with cork trees, painted and numbered. My father was estranged for nearly 20 years. Just before his death he contacted me and wanted me to collect all of the belongings of his "studio", a small guest room in his shared home. All of his life he painted. The most beautiful seascapes and landscapes eventually filled his attic, some still wet with thick oils as I loaded them into a rented truck. He thought that I could sand them down and Gesso over his work to paint my own. I started taking those that were not finished and painting directly on top of them with spray paint and stencil. Finishing them with my work. Painting portraits on top of seascapes allowing elements of his painting to fill in some of the space. My father never showed his work to any avail, but I did have a few shows with this body of work, and he did get to be present for one. He ran his fingers over the paintings several times before fully realizing that his work was there as well, behind the faces. A few months later, he was gone. I went and gathered the remaining work. Several hundred canvases in various states of completion, but mostly unfinished. Frames, brushes, paint, pencils, pastels, every issue of Playboy from 1963 to today, and very few photographs or anything of personal value. That is what I have to work with now.</div>
