 Meet our 2019 Evergy Featured Artist, photographer John Kennington of Bixby, Oklahoma!

John Kennington has been a photographer for more than 45 years. He grew up in New Jersey, but it was not an urban life, as his family lived on twenty acres inside a national wildlife refuge. Years of observing the great outdoors inspired a lifelong interest in birds, nature and photography. In 1982, Kennington and his wife, Sharon, moved west to Oklahoma, where they fell in love with the wide-open spaces, and raised two sons, Joey and Tom, both now living in Dallas. They have one granddaughter, Stella.

The artist enjoys shooting a variety of subjects, especially landscapes, wildlife, travel and vintage Americana. He began exhibiting and selling his work at art festivals in 2007 and does about 25 shows a year. He uses modern technology but still embraces old school techniques.

“While I now use digital equipment, I don’t feel there is much difference from the old film days. Photography has always been a technological art form, but the technology is simply a tool. The creative aspects such as composition and lighting have not changed and are the most important components of an image that will have an emotional impact on the viewer.”

Rollin Karg is a renowned glass artist from the Midwest who designs and creates sculptural pieces bringing the medium to life through his dynamic use of color. The artist spent the first part of his career as an industrial engineer, photographer, potter and woodworker before becoming a full-time glass artist in 1983. His award-winning work has shown at galleries and in exhibitions throughout North America.

Reuben Saunders began his art-collecting life as a teenager in his native North Carolina. A graduate of University of North Carolina where he studied political science, chemistry and American history, he opened Artworks in 1978 primarily to showcase Kansas artists who, at the time, were rarely represented in Wichita. His gallery and frame shop in the Douglas Design District continues a tradition of superior works by local, regional and national artists in a variety of media.

Patricia McDonnell, Ph.D, the Wichita Art Museum’s executive director since 2012, also served as the director of the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University. Before coming to Wichita, McDonnell was chief curator at the Tacoma Art Museum and curator of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota. She has more than 30 years of museum experience in a variety of positions; and holds a doctorate and masters of fine arts in art history from Brown University, and a bachelors of arts in German studies from Mills College.

Bob Workman recently retired from the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University, where he served as director since 2013. A graduate of WSU, he has overseen many art initiatives on the campus, including a permanent Tom Otterness sculpture installation in progress and a project to digitize works of art in the Ulrich’s collection, slated for completion in 2019. Workman was previously director of Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan, Kan.

Starting in 2011, one artist or artist team has been selected each fall to represent Autumn & Art as our Featured Artist for the season.

CHRIS MCCARTHY of St. Louis, Missouri

Chris McCarthy, a glass blower from St. Louis, Mo., has been selected as the Grant Thornton LLP Featured Artist for Autumn & Art at Bradley Fair 2018.

McCarthy’s work is Venetian-inspired, with a concentration of murrini-based designs and a mix of cold-working techniques. After a piece has been blown and cooled back to room temperature, he sand-carves or wheel-carves it to give each its own unique design and texture.

Born in Nashville, Tenn., and raised in Paducah, Ky., McCarthy was introduced to the art of glass blowing while at Washington University in St. Louis. His fascination with fire and desire to create objects by hand drove him to embrace glass blowing as his passion and profession for the past 20 years. The artist and his wife, jeweler Stefany Brown (who is also showing at Autumn & Art at Bradley Fair this year), have a daughter, Ella, and two dogs, Rocky and Momo. He enjoys ice hockey and growing heirloom tomatoes, pumpkins and peppers.

A signed and numbered poster of McCarthy’s Featured Artwork, “Red Vase,” is available for purchase at The Frame Shop in Bradley Fair and will also be sold at Autumn & Art Welcome Centers during the event.
