LINDA HALL TEHNUNFELD

An abstract expressionist who's preferred medium is acrylic.  Linda's paintings are predominantly large, highly textured, vibrantly colored.  She is influenced by her studies while living in Europe, California and the D.C. area. 

"I am most influenced by the Expressionist artists of the late 40’s: Pollock, deKooning, Rothko and others. I also admire the works of Wolf Khan and Chagall. Their simplified natural shapes and inner artistic vision produced pieces teetering between reality and  fantasy. Each piece that I paint is a joy to me, fun to paint, and expresses an emotional and spiritual action of my thoughts".

Works are in numerous private collections, as well as the University of South Alabama Permanent Collection, Junior Miss Artist of 2008 and permanently displayed at Ft. Gaines, Dauphin Island Alabama.

ROY J. WALTERS



I have been painting in oils since middle school. My inspiration initially came from artists who drew portraits at Jackson Square in New Orleans, Louisiana. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from Alabama A&M University in 1972, and have traveled the country digesting the works of other artists. My appreciation for subtle colors was learned while I was in Southeast Asia in the sixties.

My other endeavors include teaching art in Pensacola, Florida and doing commercial art in Mobile, Alabama. I have shown at Galleria Francini and Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York City. Have also shown at Whiting Art Gallery in Fairhope, Alabama, and Barnes and Noble Booksellers in Mobile. My paintings are owned by numerous private collectors. In 2001 the Mobile Register Newspaper commissioned me to do a painting for their permanent collection. Although my paintings are done representatively in terms of color and form, my emotional interpretations of the personalities of subjects are always attached. After all, it is the artist’s attraction to a scene’s personality that invokes a desire to begin painting that scene.
