August Presenting Artist - Nadine Rippelmeyer
The presenting artist for the August ANA meeting at Arts Center of the Ozarks will be ANA member Nadine Rippelmeyer. Nadine says of her art; “I love texture and color! My goal is to create a mood that is positive, comforting, peaceful, joyful, humorous, or inspiring. My work is constantly evolving as I explore new techniques, mediums or styles. I find that my clients are varied and have different preferences: some prefer my abstracts, some my impressionist pieces, and others gravitate towards my humor or inspirational works.”
“Coming from a very artistic family, I was inspired by my many relatives who expressed their creativity through hair creations, building and carpentry, painting, and home decor. My inspiration comes primarily from my faith and my family. I also find that I use my background in dance, nursing, music, and theater to more fully explore each subject that I paint. Having traveled and lived in South America, Asia, and Europe, I delight in varied landscapes, cultures, and people.”
“Although I now teach many mediums, I most enjoy working with water based media and pencil and most recently photography. Even though mostly selftaught, I voraciously read art journals, magazines, and books gathering new ideas at every turn! I currently sell to clients worldwide. In 2008-2009, my work was shown in Las Vegas and New York, in Hot Springs, AR, and in Northwest Arkansas.”
In 2007, Nadine had the honor of being chosen by Art.com as one of approximately 20 US artists in a pilot original art marketing program based on the wide appeal of her work. Prints of Nadine’s work are sold worldwide. Nadine continues to be a member of the Fayetteville, AR Chamber of Commerce, numerous artist groups, and will soon be featured on The National Association of Professional Women's Site. Nadine loves trying new techniques and styles while maintaining works that capture color, texture, and her love of life.
Though she exhibits in national galleries, one may also find her work locally at Art Emporium and House Special Interiors in Fayetteville and Scott Frame and Art in Rogers.
In addition to painting commissions, Nadine teaches art to all ages, teaches art marketing seminars, paints live for galas, fundraisers, church services, etc., and leads art trips nationally and abroad. www.nadinerippelmeyerart.com
