Art from Tony
Jeurissen and Kara Edie
Hi, my name is Tony
Jeurissen. I am a Montgomery County artist. I use the name Anton
when I sign my work because it is a lot shorter then my full name. I was born with a pencil
in my hands. My formal art training was persistence lol. My
inspiration came from my mother and all the famous Dutch artists. Pencil
drawing has been my lifetime hobby. My style is an imitation
of brushstrokes with pencil. I call it “squibble” art. My pencil is
constantly moving! Tricks I use to achieve
the final result are: rubbing, erasing, smearing, scuffing and
layering. Some of the tools I use are: tape, soap, Kleenex and paper
towels. Most of my subjects are a
reflection of my character and locale. I love history and the area in
which we reside. Most of all, I love the ever changing sky. By combining History and
Art I am hoping my show will bring back lots of memories.
Kara Edie, originally
from LaPorte County, Indiana, is a graduate of Franklin College with a degree
in journalism. She is the Marketing Director at the Montgomery County
Visitors & Convention Bureau; before that, she spent 8 years as part
of the award-winning “Lew’s Crew” at the General Lew Wallace Study &
Museum. Kara is also the outgoing president of the Art League of
Montgomery County and she encourages everyone to visit the Art Leagues’s
collaborative art exhibit later this summer. Kara lives in Linden with
her husband John, daughter Riley, and son Jeremy. “My photography is very
simple,” she says. “I’ve been fortunate enough to notice some of the
breathtaking moments that God provides us every day, and sometimes, luckily, I
have my camera with me.”
