Artists Represented By Kinion Fine Art:
In the mid l980’s she felt an intense need to fulfill herself creatively
and became drawn to oil painting. It was a life altering decision. Longing to paint like the Old Masters, she discovered a small atelier called
Mission Renaissance that taught fine art according to classical techniques – drawing and oil painting from life. It was a perfect fit. She studied
with a number of Los Angeles artists including Larry Gluck of Mission Renaissance and Bill Martin and John Strong of Martin-Strong Fine Arts.
In l996 the growing conflict between the demands of her practice and the magnetic pull of painting led her to Sedona where powerful creative
forces stimulate those who are open to them. Liela's studio is on the edge of the Coconino Forest where her eyes fed by the beauty of the high
desert of Northern Arizona.
Simply saying Sedona brings the senses to life. Red rocks, rising hundreds of feet into the skies of incredible
blue - the whisper of oak Creek tumbling through incredible canyons carved by Natures hand - the beauty of Sedona inspires artists
and craftsmen of all types. Dreams not only seem more real here, they seem more possible. Building a home in Sedona can be a

Sandra Lynn Brennecke
Background:
Sandra Lynn Brennecke, a healer, nurse, teacher, artist and lover of life: some of the many treasured Spirit given gifts that are avenues through
which Sandy has created and worked with her life lessons. Artistically she finds joy in working with precious metals and color; the freedom to
play with both is reflected in her creations. From whimsical to elegant, the delight of discovery and pride of workmanship is evident in every
piece. Sandy and her husband are full time RV’ers since her husband’s retirement in 2002. Born into a military family, she has traveled
extensively and still finds places she would love to visit. Although the Seattle area is where she settled after serving as a nurse in Vietnam and
where she raised her six children, she finds the South West with its beautiful red rocks and friendly people nurturing and creatively stimulating;
something that keeps calling her back to refresh and renew.
Mary Lois Brown
My husband Doug and I built our first home in the White Mountains of Eastern Arizona giving me a new opportunity for adventure and
landscapes. I prefer to paint out doors “Plein Air” and am equally as comfortable doing studio work painting images of horses, old buildings
and still life’s either from outdoor studies or from my own photographs.
Since 2000, I have completed several Plein Air classes taught by William Scott Jennings in Sedona, Arizona. I am a member of the Art Alliance of
the White Mountains, where I received, in 2004, first place in the annual juried summer painting exhibition. In 2005, I was honored to have a
painting selected to be in the top 100 Arts for Parks Competition and in 2006, I fulfilled a longtime dream of traveling down into the Grand Canyon
on a river painting excursion to paint with other artists. Works created on this excursion were exhibited at the Sedona Art Center. I am now a full
time resident of Sedona, Arizona.
Royce Carlson
Background:
Royce Carlson creates whimsical welded steel sculptures and architectural oddities using found objects, recycled materials and new steel. He
creates his sculptures in Prescott, Arizona. "I work with recycled steel, found objects, and steel tubing, rebar, etc. I like that I can turn
what would ordinarily be considered waste into art. Steel is a versatile material. It is malleable and can be readily shaped with the proper tools
and it is strong and durable while also having flexibility. This is perfect for outdoor pieces. Being I create out of joy this is reflected in my
work. My style is whimsical, happy and generally pretty abstract. I know I have created a good piece if it makes me smile when I see it. I am
self-taught and believe that to be an advantage rather than a hindrance. Among other things, formal training teaches the "rules" about how to
make "good art." If there is anywhere that rules should be broken, it is with art." Royce was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1953. When
he was one year old his family moved to Southern California. He went to college at California State University, Fullerton but did not graduate.
Yep, he's a dropout! He moved to Washington state in the mid-70's, lived in a commune and had such a great time that the normal world of career
s, etc. lost its appeal completely. After some years of unsatisfying attempts to fit himself into the corporate, upwardly-mobile world of the
American Dream, he "dropped out" again when he moved to Prescott, Arizona in 1991. Since then, Royce has worked mostly as an artist
although lean times sometimes caused him to fall back on his skills in construction and "handyman" activities. He has no formal artistic training.
Until 1999, he was an abstract painter working in acrylic. Welded steel sculpture is a fairly recent thing. Lately, he has been filling his yard with
junk steel. He loves to get up in the morning, go to his shop, and decide what he's going to make today. He is a happy guy and lives with his
wife, Juanita, who is also a sculptor.

assistance of twenty employees, marketing her stained glass throughout many parts of Germany. Since 1987, Monika has been further
working on and developing her original designs in her studio in Sedona Arizona. “Working in glass is very rewarding, to see how the light is
playing with colors and textures of glass in ever changing light conditions.”

Ron Draxler
Background:
"Photography is the ability to take objects from real space (our environment) and juxtapose them into framed space." While this still
rings true to me I need to add part two, "And stay true to your vision". Photography has been and will continue to be a journey. The
photographs I take are not necessarly beautiful but they are my "vision". That is the way I see the world around me...it's exciting to see
objects "from the streets" juxtaposed in an interesting way. Just as it is exciting to see natural mutiple exposures while "window shopping".
As my vision continues to grow I see the light and shadows...the forms and shapes of "Westfork" and "Landscapes".
Design Duo
Background:
Design Duo A collaboration of two women artists, Barbara Andress-Sculptor and Deanne Brewster-Ceramic Artist. Sculptor.
Barbara Andress: A nationally known music-educator retired from the school of Music, Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.
Retirement afforded her the opportunity to venture into the world of three dimensional art of welded steel with a secondary interest in wood
carving. The essence of her work is primarily in the area of stylistic figurative representations and organic forms.
Barbara Andress: “Drawing with hot steel has become my real passion, whether the sketching is stylized figures, birds, branches or leaves.”
Barbra's work is exhibited at Kinion Fine Art, Sedona, Arizona and Mountain Artists Gallery and the Civic Center in Prescott, AZ and the
Artspace in Scottsdale, AZ.
Deanne Brewster: The magic of clay created a passion that has been with Deanne since she made her first pot at an evening class in 1965.
Throughout the next 33 years, during her career in the computer industry, art has provided both balance and therapy.
In 1998, Deanne and her husband built a home and studio in Prescott, Arizona where her primary focus has been functional and decorative
mid-fired stoneware, both hand-built and hand-thrown on the potter’s wheel. Her formal training has included ceramics classes and workshops
at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, the Sedona Arts center and Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona.
Deanne Brewster: “My objective is to share my creativity by turning clay into pottery that provides function and enjoyment to many.”
Deanne's work is exhibited at Kinion Fine Art, Sedona, Arizona, the Mountain Artists Gallery and A’Loft Gallery, Prescott, AZ. and the
Artspace in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Dale Ferguson
Background: Born in Oregon's Grande Ron Valley
in 1941, Dale Ferguson grew up in the mountains of Idaho and has spent his life there. His other "sense of place" was shaped by living for five
years in Arizona's Sonora desert and developing a love for the American southwest. Of Celtic decent, his direct-line ancestors include most of
the Kings of Scotland as well as a Cherokee grandmother from Arkansas of which his art reflects both heritages. Dale's work has been
described as being haunting, healing and a connection with the spirit; while his own personal definition of art is when it communicates with the
spirit it reachs it's highest potential. From the time he was a child he had a desire to be an artist; however, being life seems to take its own
turnshe spent most of it as a businessman and entrepreneur. In the 1980's he discovered he had a love for sculpture and was able to find time to
produce a number of bronzes for private collectors. Now retired from the business world he is able to pursue his dream of being an artist full
time. Other than bronze, Dale also creats art in fired clay, acrylic and other mixed media.
Tom Fish
Tom's film credits include: The Lion King (young Nala);
Pocohontas (Misc. Settlers and Indians); Tarzan (Misc. Gorillas); The Legend of Mulan (Ling and Chien Po); Lilo and Stitch (Nani); Beauty and
the Beast Special Edition (Beast) and Brother Bear (Tanana and Misc. Bears). Following a ten year career as an animator Tom moved to
Sedona, Arizona to begin his lifelong ambition to paint full time. An avid golfer from the age of two Tom also paints golf landscapes. From
a distance his paintings appear to be photographic but as you move closer they progressively become more impressionistic. Ultimately
his paintings transcend the mere record of a place and reveal the artist's way of thinking. Tom is on his way to becoming a well recognized
artist with an increasing demand for his original artwork
Shermane Frei
Background:
Local Sedona artist Shermane Frei has a passion for the color and grain of wood wrom which she creates unique comositions. The use of
wood as a medium for art has always attracted Shermane. Initially she practiced carving and fine cabinet design. In 2004 she embraced the
art of turning wood on the lathe. She has since studied with master wood turners through the southwest and is currently a member of the
Prescott Woodturners as well as the American Association of Woodturners. Through her service as an archeological docent for the
Verde Valley area, she developed a deep appreciation for the historic Indian pottery and basketry design. This is reflected in the authentic
images and patterns she applies to many of her bowls and platters. When she is not turning wood Shermane finds joy in traveling in search
of the perfect piece that will become the medium for her creative hand and spirit.
Liam Herbert
Background:
Liam Herbert, a sculptor and veteran of the Broadway theater company, strives to reveal the spirit within wood and bronze and the spirit within
ourselves as he carves and sculpts simple tall, graceful figurative forms which invite viewers to be moved on a deep and personal, heart felt level.
“I am a Gemini, a personality, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Art should be emotional, controversial and beautiful. It is all in the eye of the
beholder. One of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was to climb as close to the top in a tree as I could get and stare out at whatever was
around. I have a connection to the wood. Everything for me springs from the growth of a tree. Each tree speaks a special language to me. My
father (also an artist) and I used to visit the studio of renowned wood sculptor, Raoul Hague, in Woodstock, NY where I found great inspiration.
I attended the school of Visual Arts in New York City in advertising while at the same time sculpting a 20’ piece at my father’s country home
in Pennsylvania and also working as a prop man on Broadway. Dad was a production property master for all 105 of the David Merrick shows so
for about 50 of them I apprenticed with him. My instructors encouraged me to continue my art. In 1992 my wife Sylvia and I moved to Sedona
connecting with the emotional thread that runs through all of my art and the unique, spiritual qualities of Sedona. I want to express emotional
feelings through my art in simple forms, expressing the original premise of mankind - to become more compassionate towards one another. I just
want to be able to help people through art. Some people who see my work have tears in their eyes, there is an emotional connection. This means
a lot to me.”
Melvin John
Background:
Melvin John, Dine’ Artist, originally from Rainbow Springs / White Cone Arizona, currently resides with his wife and children in Tuba, City,
Arizona. His maternal clan is White Corn / Zuni-Edgewater Clan born for the Black Streak People Clan. Melvin is the youngest sibling of 10
children. As a young man he lived near Rainbow Springs in the mountains where his family herded sheep. “Slimnez”, John’s grandpa, was a
silversmith who traded food for supplies for his entire village and helped support the village by making spoons and pots. Melvin's talented art
consists of Metal Sculpture, Stainless Steel, Copper, Clay Masks and Acrylic Painting that reflects the Navajo Stories and way of life, taught to
him by his mother. During his childhood Melvin witnessed the process of sand painting. The Yei’s are the Navajo Holy Gods (Diety’s) who
heal the sick. I create “Healer Sculptures” of the Hohokum design. My Colors speak of the sky color and mother earth, the warm tones of
morning awakening.” He uses natural parrot tails from peyote fans, “feathers on which songs and prayers are carried.” The mouths of his
masks are made of bamboo and around the necks are symbols of juniper branches-the smell is believed to create a strongervoice. He credits
his mother, who is a highly respected Navajo Master Weaver and her teachings led him to many heights in his life. “She comes to guide me as
I work.” She informed him that one day his creativity will provide him abundance in his life. He just had to respect his work, discipline himself,
remain humble and never forget his people and origin.

Leila Kirkley
Background:
Linda J. Lee’s Southwestern collection “Light and Landscape” combines spectacular terrain with dramatic illumination infused with vivid color.
From the majestic panorama of “Bright Angel Point” to the flowing cloud layers in “Sunrise at Superstition Mountain” to the fascinating and
equally amusing “Art Walk”, her paintings depict the beauty of nature, yet transcends the realistic. Each is a generous portion of a grand, visual
feast which celebrates the landscape. Linda J. Lee: “Art is a quest for the discoveries that reward both viewer and artist.”
Her quest for these discoveries has taken her across much of the United States and Europe. She has studied with master artists
John-Seerey-Lester, Le Conte Stewart, David Wade and Paco Young. When not experimenting with new ways to infuse a painting with light,
she looks for new places to travel. She has developed a strong interest in the landscape of the Southwest, especially Arizona.
Linda J. Lee is represented by Kinion Fine Art, Sedona, Arizona. Many of her paintings reside in private collections.

Oil on Canvas
Background:
Sharon Abshagen is an oil painter who specializes in the Four Corners region. She is originally from Longmont, Colorado and has lived in
Durango for the Last 32 years. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Ft. Lewis College with an emphasis in fiber art she spent
many years painting watercolors and weaving large tapestries. After joining the local painting group she realized that her first love was oil

Sculpting art with environmental themes and earth’s own materials inspires Ventana Amico and creates a sense of healthy connection with
her life making it possible to explorer and share with others what she is mulling over in her head. By recycling materials and redefining content
or purpose, materials take on a new life as sculpture. What would a furious storm look like in steel, fiber, clay or vines? Translating ideas into
sculpture calls attention to curious concepts, promotes awareness and invites us to connect to our thoughts.”

Background:A native Pennsylvanian, I drew and
painted horses as a child. In the 1970’s I studied for one year with Patricia Cochran who instructed in the style of the Old Master’s introducing
the exciting world of color and light. In 1981 I moved to the Grand Canyon and worked as a mule guide for three years. Though the long hours
allowed me little time for painting, it did provide a livelihood and a magnificent landscape of an extraordinary visual playground and a constant
source of artistic inspiration. In 1984, trained as a skilled hairdresser, I gave up my out door adventure to serve as owner and operator of the
Bight Angel Hair Design on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon for the next sixteen years. I coordinated the Art Exhibitions on the North Porch
of the El Tovar Hotel for six years and continued to paint and sell my art. Many of the images were of my favorite subject matter, the panoramic
Grand Canyon. I completed oil painting classes taught by Tom Darrow at the Scottsdale Art Institute which brought me again closer to painting.
