#SomethingWonderful #ArtistSpotlight: Pete Toot

We will be highlighting some of our exhibiting artists from our upcoming “Something Wonderful” Art Show and Sale (9/11/21) over the next few days. We hope you enjoy learning about these artists, and what has brought art into their lives, as well as the media and subject matter on which they’ve chosen to focus.

Pete Toot played around with pencil and ink for a long time, creating for his
own enjoyment, doodles and graphic designs. He took up painting after
retirement, about five years ago, and primarily works in gouache.

I have always loved and appreciated pottery. In 2010, I began taking classes at what is now Queen City Clay, and never turned back. I hand-build my pieces and love the process, the feel of the clay. The community is so nurturing and positive.

“My interest in photography did not begin with books or mentors, but with a desire to experience the world through a camera. It evolved from an intense devotion to mountains and wilderness that eventually shaped all the parts of my life and brought them together. As primarily a landscape photographer, the people who have had the greatest influence on me are Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell and Tom Bol”

#SomethingWonderful #ArtistSpotlight: Gloria Toot

We will be highlighting some of our exhibiting artists from our upcoming “Something Wonderful” Art Show and Sale (9/11/21) over the next few days. We hope you enjoy learning about these artists, and what has brought art into their lives, as well as the media and subject matter on which they’ve chosen to focus.

Gloria Toot began painting at an early age, encouraged and coached by her artistic mother.  She received her first set of oil paints, her preferred medium, for her 14th birthday.  She didn’t paint much while working and raising two children, but following retirement she picked up her hobby once again.

Joan Amato works mainly in acrylics and has been painting for 50 years, more proficiently since retirement.  She is self-taught and enjoys color and experimenting with it.  She has taught seniors most recently at Warren County Senior Center (741), and finds that most people are unaware of the talents they possess.
