I believe painting is one way I can share the beauty of God’s creation.
I strive to capture a moment in time and transport others to a place of discovery and reflection. Born and raised in Kansas City, I lived mere blocks from the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. As a young child, I would wander the halls fascinated by all the artwork and wondering about the people and places portrayed in the paintings. Those were the days when a child could walk into the museum alone and spend hours without anyone asking what I was doing or where my parents were. I realize, now, how fortunate I was. Those visits to the Nelson instilled in me an early love of art and desire to create art myself. Having recently discovered the joys and unique challenges of painting en plain air, I am spending more and more time painting on location. Whether painting a landscape, historical landmarks or portraits of the people I have met in my travels, I find beauty and meaning in it all. I strive to communicate that in my work and love to share it with others. -Elaine 'Laney' Haake |
SYLVIA ROSE AUGUSTUS - PHOTOGRAPHER
I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO SPENT ALMOST FIVE YEARS LIVING AND WORKING IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK AS A PRESERVATION ARCHITECT. WHILE AT YOSEMITE, MY FREE TIME WAS SPENT TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS WHILE EXPLORING THE AREA. PRIOR TO MY YOSEMITE EXPERIENCE MY PHOTOGRAPHIC FOCUS WAS ON THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. MY YOSEMITE EXPERIENCE CAUSED MY FOCUS TO SHIFT FROM THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT TO LANDSCAPES AND WILD LIFE.
IN 2012 I VISITED THE BLACK HILLS WILD HORSE SANCTUARY FOR THE FIRST TIME. I MET A SPANISH MUSTANG NAMED DON JUAN. HE HAS BECOME MY MUSE. I BECAME CONNECTED TO HIM AND THE OTHER HORSES INSTANTLY. THEIR COLLECTIVE WILL TO SURVIVE AND THE INDIVIDUAL JOURNEYS THEY HAVE TAKEN TO GET TO PLACES OF "SAFETY" LIKE THE BLACK HILLS WILD HORSE SANCTUARY HAVE BECOME THE MAIN DRIVER FOR MY ARTWORK. WILD AMERICAN EQUINE ARE IN PERIL; THEIR HABITAT; BLOODLINES; SOCIETAL STRUCTURES AND LIVES ARE THREATENED. MY MAIN BODY OF PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK FOCUSES UPON DOCUMENTING THEIR STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL.
IN 2017 I RECEIVED A INSPIRATION GRANT FORM ARTSKC,WHICH HAS PARTIALLY FUNDED A DOCUMENTATION PROJECT CALLED WILD EQUINE RUNNING FREE.
