frankfortstationdaily.com life & arts the frankfort station | January 23, 2020 | 23 Art association’s first pastel exhibition highlights area artists Laurie Fanelli Freelance Reporter 5 The work of three awardwinning local artists – Frankfort Square resident Mary Ann Trzyna, Chicago Heights resident Marikay Peter Witlock and Mokena resident Ted Fuka – will be on display at the Frankfort Arts Association gallery through late February as part of the organization’s inaugural Pastel Invitational Exhibition, “Journey into Pastels.” The show’s opening reception on Jan. 12 gave members of the community a first look at the engaging collection of works that captured everything from landscapes to still lives. Frankfort Arts Association Vice President Kristin Murphy curated the exhibition as a way to highlight both the versatility of pastel as a medium and the talent of artists living in the southwest suburbs. “We’re so proud to showcase these artists here,” Murphy said. “It’s an amazing medium that they work in. The series by Marikay shows the same scene with different lighting, just like Monet’s ‘Haystacks.’ It’s captivating because they all look so different, and yet they show such a range of color and spectrum. Ted has more of that realistic feeling, and Mary Ann’s work includes landscapes and still lives. Her still lives are incredible with how they blend color, pattern, lighting and shape.” Witlock explained that her series depicting the intersection of Vollmer Road and Central Avenue originated when she was commuting to a job in Frankfort residents Charlese (left) and Katie Stempniak admire the work showcased at the exhibition. Tinley Park. “I drove through there every day, at all different times of day, in different seasons for several years and it just captivated me,” Witlock said, noting that while only five pieces were on display, she has created approximately 15 pieces in the series to date. “The whole change every day – every time it was so different – I had to start painting it. If we open our eyes to all of this beauty around us, then we can share it with other people.” Trzyna’s aim was to highlight what pastels can do by showing a wide variety of paintings at the Frankfort Arts Association Gallery. “Marikay, Ted and I are all landscape artists, but I also do a lot of still lives, so I decided to show a variety by pulling the still lives and different landscapes,” Trzyna said. “These are not a group of pieces that I would normally put together, but I knew that they were mixing the three of us up, so I thought it would work.” When choosing which of his pieces to feature, Fuka decided to share some of his favorites he has created over the years, including a 2009 piece titled “Brothers,” which depicts his two sons enjoying a winter walk along the Hickory Creek Preserve Trail. “That’s one of my favorites,” Fuka said, adding that winter is his favorite season to capture with his artist’s eye. “That means a lot to me, so I thought I would bring it out to share. “The snow adds so much,” he continued. “In the summer, it’s more of a challenge, because you walk in there and all you see is green. There’s a lot more color in the fall and winter. Even in the grasses there’s a variance of color that’s pretty incredible.” Along with participating in the Pastel Invitational Exhibition – which runs through Feb. 22 – Trzyna also joined forces with the Frankfort Arts Association to teach a pastel basic workshop on Jan. 15. There is also a children’s class available on Jan. 29, during which Lisa Podlesak will lead a snow day craft at KidsWork Children’s Museum in Frankfort. Frankfort Arts Association board member Katie Stempniak said she encouraged people to get involved with the organization as an artist, student, volunteer or Featured artist Marikay Peter Witlock, of Chicago Heights, connects with Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland Jan. 12 during the opening reception of the Frankfort Arts Association’s Pastel Invitational Exhibition at the organization’s downtown Frankfort gallery.

We have member meetings on the second Tuesday of every month, and anyone can drop in and get involved.” The Pastel Invitational Exhibition will be on display at the Frankfort Arts Association Gallery – located at 21 Ash St., Suite 7 –through Feb. 22, and the gallery is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
