MEET OUR MORNING GLORY ARTISTS

Photographic Details Who: Phyllis Bankier, photographer Milwaukee, WI Scenescapes.us I’m a photographer who loves to showcase details and have a preference for shooting flowers and food. Often, the small unnoticed details are what compel me to capture these beauties. Walking through woodlands, prairies and gardens one does not always notice the intricacies of nature, especially in flowers. My photographs give me an opportunity to explore the architecture and designs and enable viewers to see the finer points of a subject. My photographs are portraits, capturing the essence of beauty in a moment of time. Favorite Piece: The Blooming Lotus. I’ve been trying to photograph it for several years and feel I’ve really captured the essence of it. Something Unexpected: In a previous career, I was a cabinet maker. Music and Materials Who: Pat Kroth, fiber artist Verona, WI krothfiberart.com I began as an abstract painter but drifted into contemporary fiber art after taking a quilting class. I work in a fairly improvisational manner, allowing music and materials to influence me. I like spontaneity and often incorporate found objects like candy wrappers, ticket stubs and toys into my pieces. Favorite Piece: Stray Voltage because it uses many of my own hand-dyed fabrics, as well as recycled clothing. It has energy to it and captures the joy and playfulness I feel as I work. My husband is an electrician so the title is a nod to him. Something Unexpected:  I have a degree in Physical Education and coached gymnastics for 15 years. I’ve also competed in three Wisconsin Ironman distance triathlons.

“ I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way – things I had no words for.” Georgia O'Keeffe
