| BETH KREUTZ - DRAWING & SCULPTURE |
|
For Beth Kreutz, art offers the chance to change reality. "I just love being creative",
the former high school art teacher and mother of three who moved to Clermont six years ago freely admits. "To me,
it's not fun to just copy things. So instead, I make them abstract. I might start with a photographic image
and then push the shapes and distort them and add wild colors - push it into a creative direction, so it doesn't look
like a copy of a photo." Beth, who has been into art since she could "hold a pencil,"
devotes herself to watercolor painting, drawing, oil painting and computer graphics. Beth holds
a M.S. in Art Education, K - 12 and has 38 years teaching experience in grades pre-K, elementary, middle school, high school
and junior college.

| HARRY GRAY, JR. - OIL PAINTING |
|
I am a self taught artist influenced by nature's beauty and color. I've studied the light patterns and blends
of color that capture the actual environment of the scenes reflected in my paintings. I like to call my work "Artistic
Realism". The places I paint are not actual places but, the places I feel within. If I have swept you off
to serenity making you feel like you are actually there, then you have been inspired by my paintings as I have been inspired
by nature's beauty. Someone once said "Sometimes it is just better to paint what you feel rather than what
you see". I invite you to feel the beauty in my paintings. Thank you for sharing my passion.
